These methods were developed to determine the amount of interference such a transmitter could cause. The method discussed and applied in this paper is the equivalent power flux density (EPFD) method, which is formally described in international telecommunication union (ITU) recommendations. Up until this point this method has been implemented in MATLAB, which can be used for the determination of the amount of data loss in radio telescopes due to the unwanted emissions of the Iridium satellite constellation. In this paper, it is proposed to use the two line elements (TLEs) instead of the licensed Satellite ToolKit in the EPFD calculation. A theoretical case has been implemented, which is adaptable to the user preferences. The flexibility of the algorithm has been improved, while computational time remains in the same order of magnitude.","PeriodicalId":376960,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC EUROPE)","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129603363","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These interferences may be due to the geometry of the support or the intrinsic material it is made of. In a reverberation chamber, a mast may lower the chamber Q-factor if it absorbs a fraction of energy. This is a well-known fact. However, a non-dissipative support may also locally (at the probe location) disturb the field due to its scattering properties. This paper discusses the choice of an appropriate mast for an isotropic probe in the context of reverberation chamber measurements. These absorption / scattering features are evaluated and tentatively correlated with disturbances of electric field measurements observed through a specific measurement set-up in an anechoic chamber.","PeriodicalId":376960,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC EUROPE)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127930107","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Each period consisting of several layers with subwavelength thickness in the nanometer range is modelled as a homogeneous medium characterized by an effective complex conductivity and unit relative permeability. The resulting effective single layer (ESL), having the same total thickness of the multilayer laminate, is represented by a transfer matrix given by the product of the transmission matrices of the periods composing the structure. The effective homogeneous model is used to compute the shielding effectiveness of ID-periodic photonic-band-gap transparent coatings made by alternating layers of silver and zinc oxide films in the frequency range up to 10 THz. The good accuracy of the results obtained using the ESL is demonstrated by comparison with the results computed by means of the rigorous multilayer formulation.","PeriodicalId":376960,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC EUROPE)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127083656","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present research work focuses primarily on the EM shielding performance of poly(methyl methacrylate) - multi-walled carbon nanotubes (PMMA - MWCNT) nanocomposites in the electromagnetically polluted X-band. The produced thin polymeric nanocomposite films (on the order of tens to hundreds of micrometers) demonstrate a high level of DC conductivity (approx. 30 S/m) at a moderate filler loading of 3 wt.%. The novelty of the content lies in the fact that relevant electromagnetic design parameters were successfully extracted from conducted electromagnetic interference (EMI) SE waveguide measurements on single-layer nanocomposite films. Subsequently, this knowledge was used to design multiple layered materials with varying arrangements of these individual layers to produce nanocomposites with tailored shielding performance. Such design allows the tuning of the two primal EMI shielding mechanisms: reflectivity and absorption, by varying either the conductivity, sequence or thickness of the individual layers. The EM shielding performance of these multi-layer films was subsequently experimentally verified, and was found to be in good agreement with the theoretical design predictions.","PeriodicalId":376960,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC EUROPE)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122371783","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
