Abstract  Although rationalizing the EMI test methods for 30MHz through 18GHz bands using the free-space test site are expected to proceed greatly by an official acceptance of the fully anechoic chamber by the CENELEC (European Committee for Electro-technical Standards organized by 18 nations), they still remain inappropriate traditional concepts such as AF (Antenna factor) and NSA (Normalized Site Attenuation). This paper explains how the traditional concepts be unsuitable and then proposes the introduction of the free-space deviation derived from the antenna gain and the free space propagation loss to evaluate the site suitable for ones of the free-space type.

Abstract  With the increase of demands for Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) systems, 2.4GHz band WLAN system has been taking a great attention, as it provides the attractive features such as relative high-speed transmission, low cost, and unnecessary of the license. However, the performance of 2.4GHz band WLAN system is seriously degraded by man-made noise emitted from ISM apparatus and multipath fading caused by multipath propagation of transmitted signal. Since radio channel is varied with time under man-made noise and multipath fading environments, it is effective to estimate channel condition for the improvement, which adapt to time varying of the channel. In this paper, we focus on Carrier-to-Noise Power Ratio (CNR as the most basic parameter which ) characterizes radio channel condition, and evaluate performance of CNR estimation under man-made noise and multipath fading environments. And next, we evaluate the improvement in Bit Error Rate performance of 2.4GHz band WLAN system using sector antenna with CNR estimation

Abstract  The high-speed and large-capacity digital communication has been required to date. The crosstalk noise is one of the most important problems to be solved, which leads malfuction in data transmission equipments. In this study, a silicon diode and a variable capacitance diodes are used as nonlinear loads of the microstrip lines.

Abstract Electromagnetic radiation from electronics in automobile has been analyzed numerically and experimentally. The source of the noise is not only the noise from electric devices themselves, but also the wire harness. The numerical method is a combination of the finite difference time domain method (FDTD method) and the transmission line analysis. We found that standing waves appear inside the automobile. This phenomenon was confirmed by measurements.

Abstract To research the relationship between a board resonance and an effect of an additional inductance to the power lines in a module on PWB, we constructed a real-board and made measurements of its radiated emissions. In addition, impedance for elements of the board was measured and is related to its emissions. As a conclusion, for a board with a power-plane structure, the method of an additional inductance is much influenced by the effect of a loop resonance which includes a path through a decoupling capacitor Each impedance of elements in a board can be a characteristic to evaluate the effect of an additional inductance.

Abstract  A power terminal model, which represents high frequency current on power terminal of IC/LSI, is necessary to perform power bus noise simulations of digital printed circuit boards. In this report, the model, which has equivalent internal impedance and an equivalent internal current source, is proposed. The model can express high frequency current, which is affected by the impedance of bypass capacitors and power bus traces on printed circuit board. Parameters in the equivalent internal impedance are given by the impedance analyzer, and the equivalent internal current source can be calculated by measured high frequency current which is obtained under certain external impedance. Furthermore, it is shown that outputs of the model give good agreement with experimental results under various conditions of external impedance

Abstract  This paper presents that radiated emissions from printed circuit boards (PCBs) vary with depending on the PCB layout, even though the circuit structure and the ground plane shape of the PCBs are same. Measurements of radiated emissions and radiation patterns for two kinds of PCBs demonstrate that the variety is caused by common-mode radiation from the excited ground plane in the PCBs. Measurements and electromagnetic simulations based on FDTD (Finite Difference Time Domain) method also prove that the common-mode radiation was able to be suppressed by PCB design considering relationship between the ground plane shape and the direction along signal traces.

Abstract  To measure magnetic near-field distribution with high spatial resolution, four magnetic near-field shielded loop probes which have deferent coil area are calibrated by comparing with magnetic field strength measured by HP closed-field probe as the standard, on a microstrip line of printed circuit board (PCB). Then, to discuss modes of the emission and the suppression of noise with the conductive plane shielding near the PCB, the magnetic near-field distributions were measured using the calibrated probe. The results on the input impedance of printed line show that the distance between a PCB and a conductivity plane is needed 8 mm to reduce the effect of the electromagnetic coupling. And from the measurement of magnetic filed, it was cleared that the changing the area of the conductive plane make the change of magnetic field strength above 300 MHz frequency range.

Abstract  In this study, for the compound electromagnetic wave in near field leaked from ITE group under parallel working situation, two typical types of stochastic evaluation methods are proposed from a bottom-up viewpoint by constructing structurally the unified fundamental processes existing objectively in the actual phenomena. More specifically, as a fundamental additive process for the mechanism on spatial distribution of electromagnetic waves generated in near field, an evaluation method based on an additive rule of cumulants among independent fluctuations including well-known an additive property of energy is proposed. Next, as a fundamental process in a time domain, an evaluation method for a compound of time ratios existing in each state based on a stochastic exclusive property is proposed by paying our attention to the specific fluctuation form in near electromagnetic field. The effectiveness of the proposed theory is experimentally confirmed by applying it to the observation data leaked from VDT in the actual work environment.

Abstract  Nowadays, owing to the widely applied electronic technology equipments, we are always exposed to electromagnetic wave radiated from them. At the same time, we are affected by the sound noise and light wave. In such environment, it is necessary to find whether some accumulative and multiplicative effects are caused by them both physically and psychologically. For this purpose, first, it is important to know the correlation information among them as deeply as possible However, since originally these fluctuate respectively in a non-Gaussian distribution form, it is difficult to find this correlation by employing the usual standard type correlation analysis in terms of artificially established linear and/or nonlinear type regression functions. In this paper, a new trial extracting correlation is proposed based on the conditional probability density function form derived from a statistical type Hermite series expansion expression of two-variate joint probability density function. The proposed method has been confirmed by applying it to the electromagnetic, sound and light leaked from VDT.

Abstract  We conducted experimental studies to verify the radiated immunity characteristics of fiber optic modules The results of this measurement show that the portion between the photodiode or the photodiode/amplifier module and the back-end circuits had the lowest level of immunity to noise. We found that this portion functions as an antenna and, therefore, it is the most noise-susceptible. Perhaps we should shield the O/E section. Next, the results of measurement that the radiated immunity frequency characteristics show the noise-susceptible frequency characteristics are different by the O/E section types.

Abstract  Under rainy conditions, subconductors of transmission lines generate audible noise due to corona discharge by waterdrops on their surfaces. In general, the method of decreasing the corona activity is to reduce the electric field (maximum conductor surface gradients: Gmax) using a bundle of conductors. In this report, the conductor wetting property of waterdrops on conductors are studied to establish a new method of decreasing corona activity. The result from artificial rainfall tests shows that a super-water-repellent surface conductor is the best method to decrease corona activity, because the waterdrop does not remain on the surface.

Abstract  In recent years, the harmonics and EMI noise sent out from an electric power conversion system are getting a great deal of attention in electromagnetic environment problems. So, the considerations for mentioned above have been getting important. Therefore, there is need to do a detail frequency analysis such as transient phenomena at the switching. So, we have proposed the analytic technique using Wavelet-transformer which is possible to catch a phenomenon from the both sides of the time and the frequency. In this paper, we performed the analysis using Wavelet-transformer against the actual measured date at the switching interval Then, based on obtained result, we describe the high validity of Wavelet-transformer and the application to the power electronics field.

Abstract  A new simple method to characterize magnetic field distribution around electric appliances was proposed. The method consists of estimation of the magnetic dipole moment vector, which is equivalent to an electric appliance. In the proposed method, the dipole moment vector was assumed to be a scalar value by allowing 6dB uncertainty in the estimated magnetic field, which allows us to easily estimate the position and amplitude of the magnetic dipole moment. The validity of the method was verified by experiments using three types of appliances. In addition, frequency characteristics of the magnetic field were taken into account by considering harmonics components in the magnetic field waveform. We used the proposed method for several types of electric appliances, and estimated their equivalent magnetic dipole moments and harmonics components. The results showed that the proposed method had several advantages compared with other methods, the main one being its simplicity. The conditions required for adoption of the method were also clarified. The method is adequate to quantify the magnetic field distribution around electric appliances.

Abstract  The paper describes the calculation results of induced current in human models due to a 50-Hz uniform magnetic field. The human models with five internal organs were constructed from the second order curved elements. The calculation method is the boundary element method. In the homogeneous model, the maximum current density appears near the body surface at the front and back for a horizontal magnetic field and appears at the left and right side of the body for a vertical one. Little effect was found on the induced current of each internal organ for two different posture. We have shown that ratio of the induced current density in an organ to the conductivity of its surrounding varies proportionally to the ratio of the conductivities in many cases.

Abstract  Ful1 scale introduction by the CENELEC and CISPR of the free-space environment into the EMI test method over 30MHz through 40GHz band will be expected in the near future. As a result, a very large improvement in the test accuracy and operating efficiency may be realized, whereas existing test sites with the metallic floor (the open test sites and semi-anechoic chambers may amount to l200 or more in number.) may become useless naturally. To cope with this worldwide trend, new provision of the free-space type test sites together with improvement of the existing but would-be idle test sites through making them to the free-space type will be very important.

As a commercially and technically viable method to realize the free-space environment and yet high performances, utilization of a broadband and anti-reflection fence called U-fence is suggested. Key words:  EMC, metallic floor, indefinite scale, freespace, U-fence, U-site

Abstract  @In order to evaluate the spatial resolution by measuring near-field electro-magnetic radiation, the radiated emission of the test pattern with 4 signal lines on a PCB was measured. It was necessary to evaluate correlation between radiated components and line patterns. If the lines and spaces were broader than the spatial resolution of a magnetic probe, 4 peaks of the horizontal component of the magnetic field could be obtained. This result was confirmed by calculating from Biot-Savartfs law. Fine evaluation of spatial resolution was obtained by measuring the radiated emission of the test pattern with 4 signal lines.

Several points to be solved inevitably outbreak in a high speed turn-table has been investigated, and accuracy of measured data on continuous and non-continuous emitted noise are evaluated. As a result, deviation of measured data at 15 rpm from conventional 1rpm has been found to be less than 0.4dB. A chart showing an optimum turn-table rotating seed to attain definite measurement accuracy is presented with a dominant parameter OFF-Time of emitted noise.

Abstract  Two types of resistive-type wave absorbers are fabricated using a frequency selective surface (FSS) for two frequencies of X and Ku bands. One partly consists of the absorbing films with two layers, whereas the other one is made by two layer FSS films. As a result, good shield and absorption of proposed wave absorbers are obtained in X and Ku bands. It is possible to realize the wave absorber with two layer absorption films. In this case, the absorption film is assumed to be a metal plate for the wave absorber. On the other hand, we also confirm that the wave absorbers with two layer reflection films are simply realized by the basic design method of the single layer absorber without the use of the point matching method, because the thickness between FSS and absorption film can easily be determined by the classical absorber design

Abstract  A shielding technique is an effective means to protect implanted cardiac pacemaker users from portable information terminals, whereas no evolution methods have been available for this aim. We previously proposed a FDTD model for predicting EMI (electromagnetic interference) levels in the pacemakers, and showed that the open-voltage induced in the pacemaker connector can be used as an appropriate index for determining the EMI level. With this model we evaluated to what extent the EMI level in the pacemakers for half-wavelength dipole antennas can be reduced by magnetic / resistive shielding sheet. As a result, we have found that when the antenna is placed at a distance of 1 cm from the torso surface, the magnetic sheet gives the identical EMI level at an antenna distance of 6 cm, while the resistive sheet gives the same reduction effect as the case for the antenna placed over a 20 cm distance from the torso. This latter finding shows that even if the distance between the antenna and the torso is as close as I cm, the resistive sheet enables one to secure the effective distance longer than 22 cm being specified in the guideline of the Pacemaker Committee of Japan.

Abstract   It has been reported that radio-frequency (RF) electromagnetic waves can cause the faulty operation of electronic apparatus. We investigated the cause of the faulty operation of an electric wheelchair, and concluded that RF electromagnetic waves induced abnormal responses of the operational (OP) amplifiers and diodes being used in the control circuit, which made the DC output voltages change, leading to the faulty operation. In this paper, we examined experimentally the responses to RF electromagnetic waves of non-linear devices commonly used in the control unit of electric wheelchairs. We observed the output waveforms of the diode and OP amplifier for RF sinusoidal signals with respect to the frequency and amplitude. The RF responses of transistors constructing the OP amplifier were also examined in order to investigate the change cause of the output voltage of the OP amplifier. As a result, we found that the change of the DC output voltages due to RF electromagnetic waves is caused by the rectification and smoothing effects of non-linear devices.

Abstract @ Lightning surges appear in the telecommunication cables, power lines, and grounding lines when the direct lightning is stroke telecommunication center building. These might be a cause of trouble for telecommunications equipment. We should study the current distribution in the building due to the direct stroke, and observe the lightning surge current distribution in order to improve the immunity of telecommunication system In this report, the beams and pillars in building were assumed by the equivalent radius column conductors, which have same surface area of the complex reinforced concrete beams and pillars. The building structure was modeled lattice structure with the column conductors. The lightning surge current at the beams and pillars were calculated with this model, and the results are compared with the observed results. The deviation between calculated and observed value is around 200%. Further study to reduce calculation error is needed to develop the effective model for analysis

Abstract    Magnetic near fields of coupled printed-circuit trace type filter are studied. When two transmission lines such as microstrip lines are set in the neighborhood, a coupling or crosstalk fields may be generated between them. The fields can be obtained by estimating vector potentials of currents on the line section and the terminals in terms of a terminal voltage and current of the line concerned. The performance characteristics and the fields are measured and calculated for the filter with open and short terminal conditions, respectively. The pass and stop bands are discussed for the distributed fields of the filters with different frequencies and terminal conditions.
