The proposed antenna can be made by placing one-sixth of conducting loop-wire (H-loop) in front of a 60/spl deg/ degree corner reflector. The mathematical model of such a quasi-shield probe called the H-loop is developed. The developed antenna parameters have been compared with those of the existing quarter loop antenna and a complete loop antenna. The designed H-loop antenna has been constructed and the radiation pattern of the antenna is measured to compare the theoretical radiation pattern. Comparison shows a very good agreement with the theoretical pattern.","PeriodicalId":444507,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the International Conference on Electromagnetic Interference and Compatibility '99 (IEEE Cat.

The specifications limit for this test are expressed as field intensity in the units of volts per meter or more commonly as dB/spl mu/v/M. The emissions are measured using calibrated antennas and a matched receiver. To compute the field strength from the response of the receiver, \"antenna factor\" is a vital parameter. But the antenna factor used for EMC measurements, generally supplied by the manufacturer, is valid mostly for far-field conditions and many times considerable error occurs when situations other than far-field ranges are encountered. This paper describes, in detail, test set up, procedures and test results for antenna factors w.r.t. various parameters such as distance, polarisation and test area. Discussion on factors responsible for errors and their control are enumerated.","PeriodicalId":444507,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the International Conference on Electromagnetic Interference and Compatibility '99 (IEEE Cat.

Protection against lightning invariably consists in employing surge arresters. An important performance criterion for an arrester is the residual voltage. The measurement of residual voltage employs an impulse current generator. This work deals with design and development of 10 kA, 50 kV, 5 kJ impulse current generator. The generator consists of a capacitor bank (3.6 /spl mu/F, 50 kV) capable of being charged from a charging set rated 50 kV DC based on a half-wave rectifier, noninductively wound waveshaping resistors and an air cored coil (waveshaping inductor). A triggered hemispherical gap is used as a switch to initiate the current impulse. Triggering is done by distorting the field of the sphere gap using a third electrode to which an electrical pulse is given from a trigger circuit based on ignition coil. Impulse current is monitored using the noninductive resistive shunt of the radial type built using a double sided copper clad PCB. Residual voltage measurements are performed using a high voltage resistive potential divider.","PeriodicalId":444507,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the International Conference on Electromagnetic Interference and Compatibility '99 (IEEE Cat.

For efficient applications an UWBR system requires a total radiated peak power of the order of a few GW with a transmitted pulse of several hundred picoseconds and a corresponding rise and fall time. The generation and coherent radiation of several hundred picoseconds double exponential pulse, with a spatial extent of several centimeters, requires special EMC considerations to achieve intrasystem EMC. For long range wide area surveillance radar requiring effective radiated power in the GW range makes the intersystem EMI problem effectively insurmountable. This paper highlights the electromagnetic interference (EMI) and compatibility aspects pertaining to UWBR systems. The electromagnetic environment (EME) and its impact in intrasystem and intersystem EMI problems, their control and the applicability of the existing standards are critically analyzed and discussed.","PeriodicalId":444507,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the International Conference on Electromagnetic Interference and Compatibility '99 (IEEE Cat.

This article discusses the design and development of a microwave front end receiver using the supercomponent approach. An account of design of various types of MICs that are used in the integrated receiver is presented along with test results. The results of the integrated receiver and the advantages of this supercomponent approach over the conventional method of developing a receiver by integrating individual discrete components are highlighted.","PeriodicalId":444507,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the International Conference on Electromagnetic Interference and Compatibility '99 (IEEE Cat.

Low frequency, radio frequency and microwave frequency may cause a flow of current through the human body. This flow of current generates heat and produce thermal injury. Natural low frequency fields are static electric fields between the ionosphere and Earth, and static electromagnetic pulses due to lightning. These fields have been keeping living beings in an invisible cage of EM wave and pulses. The health effects that might originate from EM radiations are almost certainly the most complicated and difficult to understand of all the effects of EM radiations. In domestic appliances a controlled environment is created where the radiated E&H fields are reduced below safe values by different means viz. shields, gaskets. The average specific adsorption rate (SAR), is 0.08 W/kg for a person's entire body and the peak SAR is 1.6 W/kg.
