An analytical model has been developed for the evaluation of the electric field, with a range of validity extending from the ground up to one quarter of the height of the poles supporting the line. The model consists in assuming that the charges on the overhead conductors are not affected by the presence of the poles, and in replacing the pole with a suitable charge distribution. In this way, new simple formulas for the estimation of the electric field that include the effect of the line supporting poles have been obtained and the analytical results have been experimentally validated.","PeriodicalId":397061,"journal":{"name":"2007 18th International Zurich Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility","volume":"6 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":"123732298","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}

Consequently the knowledge of the channel frequency response has to be as accurate as possible. However, the Powerline medium is shared with other devices connected to any socket. When switching, and even during normal operation, these devices can generate some noises (stationary, cyclostationary & impulsive), and may cause perceptible variation of channel frequency response. This study tries to establish a link between impulsive noise and a simultaneous variation of the channel frequency response. Indeed, an impulsive noise corresponds to a particular event which may be a sign of a change in the Powerline characteristics, and the channel frequency response may be affected by this change. Afterwards, a statistical analysis of the noises linked with a variation of the channel frequency response is performed, and consequently incurred results may help any receiver to anticipate this variation.","PeriodicalId":397061,"journal":{"name":"2007 18th International Zurich Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility","volume":"29 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":"114245905","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}

However, when the source closely approaches e. g. a phantom, complex interactions mechanisms begin to occur, leading to modifications of the nearfield effectively impinging on the phantom. Based on plane-wave expansion, this paper proposes an analysis of the contribution of the free-space field to the field transmitted in a phantom, as the antenna-phantom distance is varied. The particular cases of λ/2 dipoles at 900 and 1800 MHz close to a flat phantom are studied numerically. The results surprisingly show that the electric field topography inside the phantom is poorly distorted by multiple interactions, even for distances as short as 2.5 mm. It appears that this distortion is generally even weaker, for source-phantom distances where the modulus of the reflection coefficient at the antenna input port is high.","PeriodicalId":397061,"journal":{"name":"2007 18th International Zurich Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility","volume":"60 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":"127023661","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}
