This study was started because data from six different calibrations of a horn antenna varied more than expected by National Physical Laboratory (UK). The variance was also more than that obtained in the very well defined and controlled study of an X-Band Horn antenna (Stubenrauch, 1996) study piloted by NIST. Initially three antennas were being circulated by ETS-Lindgren, Liberty Labs and NIST (US), Schwarzbeck, Rolf Heine, Rohde-Schwarz and CONFORMITAS (Germany), Austrian Research Center (Austria), NPL and Communications Research Laboratory (Japan). Four laboratories have completed the calibration. Preliminary results show worst case deviations between laboratories to be greater than 5dB. Some of variations appear to be abnormal spikes that do not follow the normally expected antenna trend and need to get resolved before supplying factors to a user/customer. One of the laboratories provided antenna pattern data that supports findings by Michael D, Foegelle (2002) and Christian Burns et al. (2003).","PeriodicalId":359422,"journal":{"name":"2003 IEEE Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility. Symposium Record (Cat.

The size of the PCB is 225 mm long, 60 mm wide and 0.51 mm thick. The switching transistor (2SC2671) is operated by 3 MHz clock pulse. The simulated and measured results of the distribution on the PCB are good agreement. Even if the output impedance of the switching transistor is varied by switching operation, the standing wave on the PCB is observed. The spatial distribution in the y-direction into the 15 cm from PCB is not uniform due to the resonance of the signal line. From the quantitative estimation of the electromagnetic noise by switching operation is dominant to low impedance at on state. The noise radiation when the switching transistor turned on from off is problem.","PeriodicalId":359422,"journal":{"name":"2003 IEEE Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility. Symposium Record (Cat.

The pattern of each positive coil is interlaced with that of each negative coil, whereby when the positive and negative coils are alternately stacked, the positive coils do not overlap negative coils. With such offset configuration of the coils, the parasitic capacitance introduced between overlapped traces is reduced. So, the thickness of each substrate can be decreased and the size of the entire filter is effectively reduced. Good agreements between simulated and measured results are demonstrated. Further, the effectiveness of this filter is revealed by radiation spectrum measurements.","PeriodicalId":359422,"journal":{"name":"2003 IEEE Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility.

We find that the commonly used assumption that the transmission line equations are valid so long as the wavelength of the electromagnetic wave is much larger than the separation between the wires to be insufficient. In addition we find that unless the line is much longer than the separation between the wires, there can be major disagreements between the transmission line equations and Maxwell's equations. We find that in these cases the transmission line equations give resonant frequencies that are too high, field cable coupling that is too high and resonant Q's that are too high. The paper suggests some simple explanations in terms of re-radiation of energy and the electrical length of the transmission lines.","PeriodicalId":359422,"journal":{"name":"2003 IEEE Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility.

In addition, the variation of the active phase center of log periodic element can also induce variations in AF. In this paper, software codes based on method of moments are used to study the AF of a bilog antenna over a ground plane at different heights for both horizontal and vertical polarizations. Meanwhile, the numerical analyses of the mutual coupling between antenna and its image, and the variation of the active phase center are also carried out.","PeriodicalId":359422,"journal":{"name":"2003 IEEE Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility.
