An optical electric field sensor (OEFS) is used as the transfer device between an open-area test site (OATS) and two TEM cells. The corresponding calibration factors for the OEFS are measured and compared. The agreement of better than 0.4 dB between the calibration factors obtained in the different facilities gives confidence in the basis of two distinct methods that provide traceability for E-field strength, namely the calculable dipole and the TEM cell.","PeriodicalId":397061,"journal":{"name":"2007 18th International Zurich Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123202388","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 commonly performed far-field calculation leads typically to an overestimation of the safety distance in the main beam direction. However, for the vertical safety distance the straight forward application of the far-field formula might lead to an underestimation of the field strengths. Based on a computational investigation of halfwavelength dipoles, which are built in most base station antennas a new formula is presented that allows a safe assessment of the safety distance directly underneath the base station antenna.","PeriodicalId":397061,"journal":{"name":"2007 18th International Zurich Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility","volume":"168 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132147983","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}

We will show that by using these splay trees in two as well as three dimensions significant savings in CPU time can be achieved allowing for the evaluation of ever more complex structures within a given computation time. We show different results for enclosures in two dimensions and also illustrate the time savings of splay trees in three dimensions.

The peak values of 12 triggered lightning channel-base currents and the peak values of the induced currents in the counterpoise are strongly correlated. The first few microseconds of the current induced in the vertical conductor by triggered lightning return strokes 100 m away resemble electric field time derivative waveforms simultaneously measured at the ICLRT. During a close natural lightning flash, five pre-first return stroke current pulses with peak currents up to 140 A were measured in the vertical conductor. These are apparently associated with multiple attempts of an upwarddirected unconnected leader in response to the charge lowered by downward-propagating leader steps.","PeriodicalId":397061,"journal":{"name":"2007 18th International Zurich Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131095072","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}

Tomato mutants deficient for abscisic acid display only the local response but lack the distant one.
