Abstract: 1/f Noise, that amplitude of the wave was in inverse proportion to frequency value of alternating current, might appear when an electric current flowed through the vacuum tube. The reason of the noise was the resonance which interacted between electrons. Electrons were at constant positions that opened an interval and had lined up. These electrons made Kronig Penny's potential barriers. And there were another electrons flowing to the anode at same time. I consider the 1/f noise rose up by tunnel resonance because these two kinds of electrons gave influence mutually.

Abstract: Small size Note-type PC becomes a major Product in PC products today. Because of' its size and thickness, the Battery-pack of Note-type PC is usually a columnar shape and located on the back of the Note-type PC. In the battery-pack, wiring to positive and negative poles are branched at the center of the buttery, then they form a strong radiation source as a dipole antenna. As a countermeasure against that radiation mechanism, a means of connecting each electrode  to ground at a high frequency was provided. The effect was over 15dB for reducing radiated  noise.

Abstract:  This paper describes a method for measuring adjacent electromagnetic fields from digital ICs using small size TEM cells. This method calculates the adjacent electric and  magnetic fields from the IC by measuring the outputs from the TEM cell in a four-directional setup of the device under test (DUT). The method is verified by using micro-strip lines as the DUT. The adjacent magnetic field from the digital IC as measured by this method agrees with the adjacent magnetic field as measured by a magnetic probe (shielded loop).

Abstract: In this paper, a shielding effectiveness (SE) is examined by finite difference time domain (FDT]D) method of 3-dim under the use of a lossy material inserted into the gap instead of the conventional choke structure, as a method for suppressing a leakage waves from the gap between the main body of a microwave oven and a door. Concretely, the SE versus the variation of the gap size or the insertion length of the lossy material is examined on TE40 mode which is similar to the leakage wave in various higher-modes. It was found out that the SE of 30dB or more was obtained in the case that some lossy material filled up the gap. If the gap becomes 1mm, the insertion length of the lossy material of 50mm or more is necessary to obtain the SE of 30dB or more. It was confirmed quantitatively that the desired SE for practical use was obtained by using the new door seal structure.

Abstract: In this paper, a method for measuring a complex permittivity of a powder sample is proposed based on the standing wave method on a rectangular waveguide for measuring a complex permittivity in microwave band. The complex permittivity of the powder sample, e.g., polyethylene powder and silica powder, was measured by inserting the sample box made of the teflon filled with the powder sample into the waveguide. The influence of the air existed between the particles of the powders was removed by the corrective equation derived from Mossotti-Clausius' equation, and then only the complex permittivity was estimated. The effectiveness of the present method of measurement was confirmed by comparing the powder sample with the measured result of the solidificated sample. In the case of the real part of the complex permittivity, there was a difference in the first decimal place. The estimation of the imaginary part was also carried out under the accuracy with the difference appeared in the second decimal place. It was shown that the effectiveness of our present method for measuring the complex permittivity of the powder.

Abstract: We previously developed an in-vivo exposure setup for testing the possible promoting effects of 1.5GHz digital cellular phones on mouse skin carcinogenesis. In this report, we analytically and experimentally evaluated the uncertainty of SARS inside the mouse in the exposure setup, which should be affected by the presence of an acrylic holder for restraining the mouse as well as the movement of the mouse in the holder. The artifact of peak SAR obtained in one cell by FDTD analyses was also investigated. As a result, we found that (1) the peak SAR was increased 16% due to the presence of holder, (2)the peak SAR in one-FDTD cell normally determined from the considered wavelength was overestimated up to 17% in comparison with that spatially averaged from the one-eighth size FDTD cell. In addition, simultaneous measurements of the antenna input and reflection powers revealed that the peak and average SARs vary within }7% due to the movement of mouse, which do not almost depend on the mouse weight.

Abstract: We investigated LCTL(Longitudinal Conversion Transfer Loss) and radiated emission characteristics for the few kHz to MHz using the twisted pair wire in UTP Category 5. First, we inserted the unbalance elements to imitate on a terminal equipment and measured the LCTL and radiated emission. As the result, it can be seen that the LCTL becomes worse for inserting unbalance element and the radiated emission increases. Second, we analyze the wire height dependency and the line length dependency of the radiated emission. As the result, it has been understood that the radiated emission increases as the wire height rises and become a shape of waves with the cycle corresponding to the line length.

Abstract : This paper investigates the reduction characteristics of effective power propagating on common mode circuit between metallic lines and the earth when a thin metal plate is put close to these lines partially. As a result, outstanding reduction effect is observed over several hundreds MHz when the thickness of the metal plate is quite less than skin depth at concern  frequencies. And the shape of the metallic plate such as width and length has influence on the reduction characteristics. If large reduction effect is necessary at a certain frequency, the length of metal plate can be adjusted to a appropriate length by slitting. This reduction effect is not obtained by the reflection of the effective power, but obtained by traveling the effective power from lines -earth circuit to metal p]ate-earth circuit. This phenomena could be used as a reduction method of conducting noise on metallic lines installed in the building or in the equipment.

Abstract: Relating to the radiated emission sources finding method utilizing only amplitude data in CISPR emission measurement system, we propose a new finding algorithm in which estimated sources are equally placed and fixed. This makes it unnecessary to repeat the calculation for selecting optimum initial positions and determining the total current number, thus it raises the calculation efficiency and stabilizes the finding estimation. As the results of computer simulation, it is shown that current sources can be accurately visualized even when many sources exist, or sources are continuously distributed, furthermore estimated values show good agreement with the original ones in experimental verification by using two spherical dipole antennas.

This method is able to apply at frequencies that exceed 1GHz, because it allows the use of a small probe with high self-resonance frequency. Digital IC current and voltage distributions were measured at GPS frequency using this method as example. It is shown that the measured distributions can be used to estimate effective positions for anti-adjacent-interference in the IC. This method is effective to evaluate interference by adjacent electromagnetic fields.

Abstract: Radiated emission from a printed circuit board (PCB) is a serious topic in a field of  EMC/EMI. In order to suppress the radiated emission it is used some type of electromagnetic absorber, such as ferrite plates or carbon plates. To investigate the appropriate use of  a  ferrite  plate, we analyze the suppression effect of a ferrite plate that is placed nearby a PCB with a microstrip line. Frequency dependent finite different time domain (FD-FDTD) method is used as an analysis method. The calculated results show that the suppression effect is achieved by the ferrite plate placed at a large magnetic field intensity. In the case of a PCB with a finite ground plane, the suppression effect is achieved by the ferrite plate placed on the ground plane opposite side of a microstrip line.

Abstract: When the obstacle exists within the waveguide region, electromagnetic fields near  the obstacle region requires, in addition to the fundamental mode, many of non propagating higher order modes. Propagating fundamental mode can be represented by transmission line model, but non propagating higher order modes are represented by lumped elements and electromagnetic fields in, the vicinity of obstacle region can be modeled by multi-port equivalent circuit. In this paper, we solve this problem by deriving a numerical solution for the integral equation which give rigorous higher order electromagnetic fields. We use Galerkin method, which is one of the method of moments to solve the integral equation.

Abstract: A new prediction method for the radiated far-field emission from PCBs (Printed  Circuit Boards) with parallel traces was proposed. An equation for calculating the electric far-field due to common-mode (CM) currents on the traces being not always electrically short, was theoretically derived. The FDTD (Finite-Difference Time-Domain) method was used to compute the CM currents for the electric far-filed prediction. A comparison of the predicted  far-field strength with the results actually measured for two types of prefablicated sample PCBs having parallel traces was carried out in order to validate the above prediction approach. As a result, good agreement was obtained between the prediction and the measurement in the frequency range from 30 MHz to 1GHz.

As this result, a good wave absorber that has the peak absorption over -25dB In a required frequency between 50GHz to 110GHz with changing thickness and the frequency band width over 8GHz for absorption over -20dB can be realized to include 32phr of titanium dioxide and 1phr of carbon particles. The complex permittivity of this material changes in almost parallel to no reflection curve as frequency change. Therefore, it is explained that the frequency for the peak absorption can be controlled to change the thickness of absorber without changing contents of titanium dioxide or carbon particles.

Abstract: A TEM cell for immunity test is usually used in a state of matched circuit load, where electromagnetic fields play as same as a plane wave. When a TEM cell is terminated with a short circuit, there is a standing wave in it. This fact means that the electric or the magnetic fields are dominantely generated at some specific positions. On the consideration, a susceptibility test method for small electronics parts is proposed to investigate the coupling mechanism caused separately by the fields. Characteristics of a trial test set, is studied experimentally, and as examples, the susceptibility characteristics for a small microstrip line and a coil are studied.

Key words: Susceptibility test, short-circuited TEM cell, electric-field coupling, magnetic-field coupling
