The chamber time constant is usually obtained by doing regressions of power delay profile and calculating its gradient. But the shape of power delay profile can sometimes be distorted by the band limited window function applied in the frequency domain. A non-linear curve fitting technique which can cancel the effect of window function was developed, aiming to give a robust determination of the chamber time constant. With the help of this technique, window functions with much smaller bandwidth can be applied without introducing error in the evaluation of chamber time constant. In this paper, a 1 MHz wide window function in which only 10 samples of S21 are available was put under test and it was found a robust answer of chamber time constant can still be given by non-linear curve fitting techniques. Therefore the measurement time can be reduced and the frequency resolution of the chamber time constant can be increased at the same time.","PeriodicalId":412708,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115381404","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}

Circuit simulations and mathematical derivations illustrate how the proposed common-mode cancellation input stage strongly reduces the EMI susceptibility of both opamps, even in the presence of large amplitude interferences. The output offset voltages which are obtained when EMI amplitudes up to 3.3 Vpp are injected in the noninverting inputs of the proposed amplifiers when these are connected in a voltage follower configuration, are reduced by nearly one order of magnitude.","PeriodicalId":412708,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)","volume":"133 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120973763","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, these standards only account for measuring the maximum radiated electric field strength for a specified number of sampling points. This leads to the assumption that especially for the characteristics of unintentional electromagnetic radiators, the specified amount of sampling points is not sufficient so that the true maximum of the electric field strength might be undetermined. Therefore, stochastic approaches were derived to predict the maximum radiated electric field strength based on the total radiated power. Above 1 GHz and without using a reverberation chamber, the determination of the total radiated power is very time consuming. Hence, a new approach is presented in this paper which uses standardized sampling approaches from alternative test methods to predict the maximum radiated electric field strength from a reduced number of angles of observation. Its accuracy and applicability as an extension for the emission measurements of unintentional electromagnetic radiators is assessed.","PeriodicalId":412708,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)","volume":"83 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122935099","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}

To estimate such effects, the determination of the electromagnetic exposition on the cellular level is essential. Hence, a new method for the finite element simulation of biological cells in electrolyte solution based on the electro-quasistatic approximation to Maxwell's equations is presented here. By non-overlapping iterative domain decomposition (IDD), a more efficient and accurate incorporation of surface charge relaxation on material interfaces is achieved than by former methods. IDD does not only lead to an efficient consideration of the interface coupling of electrical flux- and current densities, but also overcomes numerical problems related to size differences of individual cell components. A completely parallel treatment of the resulting subdomains will enable the simulation of large cell systems in the future. The approach is validated in the case of a time-harmonic external field. Further, numerical errors and convergence properties are analyzed.","PeriodicalId":412708,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114263547","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}

A conducted disturbance, which is generated when several switching power devices reach a communication device, degrades the quality of signal communications. In addition, a disturbance passing through an Ethernet device influences neighboring devices connected by the communication cables. Herein we propose a system to measure the propagation modes of conducted disturbances in power supply cables and Ethernet cables. The results indicate that mode conversion occurs in not only an Ethernet hub but also an AC adapter supplying DC voltage to Ethernet devices. The conducted disturbance to the AC and DC power supply cable is strongly transmitted to the Ethernet cable as the primary common mode and the differential mode. Conversion from the common mode in the power supply cable to the primary common mode in the Ethernet cable is dominant in the measured frequency range.","PeriodicalId":412708,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)","volume":"107 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117253596","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}

To ensure the electromagnetic compatibility of these vehicles the traction system is built up completely shielded and isolated from the vehicle chassis. Considering the shielding of the propulsion system the shaft of the traction drive represents a weak point. Due to stray capacitances of the drive's bearings the high frequent portions of the stator current can couple onto the shaft. These currents can flow through the gear box in direction of the wheels and possibly affect sensors of the 12V system. For EMC testing on component level, normally the common mode current on the cables between the inverter and the drive and between the inverter and the propulsion battery is considered. For the disturbances occurring on the battery cables alternatively the unsymmetrical voltage is measured using a high voltage coupling network. Considering the actual standard, a measurement of the shaft currents is actually not provided. Another point is that the measurements are normally tested in constant operating points, not representing the typical operation of a vehicle. Thus in this paper the shaft currents occurring in the traction system of an electric vehicle are investigated for constant and dynamic operation. For the investigation, a Hardware in the Loop (HiL) setup of an electric vehicle traction system with the ability to variably simulate dynamic drive scenarios is used. For the detection of the shaft currents, an inductive measurement transducer is used. The occurring EMI are measured using a Time Domain EMI Measurement system to analyze the EMI behavior and to indentify critical operating points during the dynamic operation of an electric vehicle.","PeriodicalId":412708,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129937920","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 statistical properties of the simulated directivity matches well with theoretical derivations. The results reveal that the expected value of the maximum directivity could be assumed as a function of electrical size of the EUT.

Previous studies have highlighted that the frequency dependent graphene conductivity is a function of the charge carrier density, mobility and quantum scattering time, and it is strongly affected by doping and fabrication route. This paper is aimed at the analysis of the shielding performances of laminated graphene/polymer multilayers at terahertz, in order to provide insights on the optimum shield design as a function of frequency. The proposed simulation model accounts for the frequency dispersive properties of the graphene monolayer and of the polyethylene terephthalate (PET), which is considered as flexible polymeric interlayer material. The optimal choice of the substrate thickness is discussed in order to achieve the maximum value of the shielding effectiveness (SE) in the terahertz frequency range. The proposed design procedure is applied to three multilayer shield configurations, which are made of different types of chemically doped graphene. The computed frequency spectra of the shielding effectiveness up to 10 THz highlight the shielding performances of the considered samples.","PeriodicalId":412708,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128805846","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}
