Abstract     The electrostatic discharge (ESD) due to charged metal objects produces the electromagnetic fields having broad-band frequency spectra over a microwave region, which cause serious electromagnetic interference to high-tech information equipment. For this kind of ESD fields, focusing on electromagnetic fields due to the spark discharge between metal spheres, we previously demonstrated numerically and experimentally that the existence of metal spheres enhances the field level according to their sizes. In this paper, we analyzed electromagnetic fields due to the ESD event occurring in a corridor using the dipole model inside a rectangular waveguide, and examined numerically the distance dependence of the field peak for the ESD occurring horizontally to the floor. As a result, we found that the far-field peak dopes not always decrease with increasing the distance and that there exists a region in which the field peak is enhanced with the distance. This finding was also confirmed by the spark experiment of metal spheres.

Abstract      The ESD (electrostatic discharge) between charged metals generates transient electromagnetic fields having broadband frequency spectra, which often gives a fatal EMI (electromagnetic interference ) to high-tech information equipment. For the EMI of this kind, propagation characteristics of ESD fields and electromagnetic coupling between the ESD fields and equipment still remain unknown. From this perspective, we have proposed FDTD methods and an image-dipole method to analyze the ESD fields due to charged metals. The former method, however, is unable to analyze the propagation characteristics of the ESD field over the broad region because of the limited analysis space, and the latter is limited for calculation to the sphere sizes that can keep the equip-potential on the metal surface. In this paper, in order to investigate the feasibility of our previously proposed computation methods for the spark discharge between metal spheres, we made a comparison between measurement and calculation of the magnetic field waveform and the distance attenuation of the field peak with respect to various kinds of the sphere sizes. As a result, we could confirm that there is in good agreement between measurement and calculation for the spark discharge between the metal spheres with diameters of 3 cm to 10 cm.

Abstract      The electromagnetic compatibility characteristics are analyzed for electromagnetic wave scattering model consisting of an infinite conducting elliptic cylinder coated with absorber using ferrite. The advantages of using elliptic cylinder are that the model can be applied to various structures and we can perform the analysis by expanding the electromagnetic fields in terms of Mathieu functions on elliptic cylindrical coordinate system. This paper describes the exact formulation for this model using the Mathieu functions in the free-space region and the complex Mathieu functions in the absorption region.

Abstract       The radio communication systems such as cellular phones and wireless LAN systems have been developed rapidly in the recent years, and accordingly the electromagnetic compatibility characteristics in buildings are paid more attention in the world. In particular, multi-path fading due to various indoor environments causes delay and interference. Understanding of propagation characteristics of radio communication waves is necessary to design high performance communication systems. Ray-tracing method is mainly applied for the analysis of indoor propagation channels. However, for the analysis of complex indoor environments, ray-tracing approach cannot give sufficient accuracy. In this paper, FDTD method is applied to show the electromagnetic compatibility characteristics in buildings. Results are compared with that of 2-D FDTD method for investigating of the effect of ceiling and floor of the building.

Abstract       The increasing use of wireless personal communications and the high density of users in urban areas has created the necessity of efficient technologies. One subject of interest is the electromagnetic wave propagation and scattering in large areas, such as the urban areas. One of the simulation methods to accomplish this study is the FDTD method, but it is not convenient for large scale problems. In this paper we discuss a new approach, which transform the Yee's formulas into an equivalent representation as a system of linear equations. While the formulas are the same, the algorithm is changed. The coefficient matrix is triangular and no factorization is required. The algorithm is shown to be able to deal with 2-D problems in this approach is tested.

Abstract      In this paper, a methodological trial of static and dynamic evaluation for the near-electromagnetic-filed leaked from an actually working VDT have been proposed. As a static method, in order to estimate one from another by extracting various interrelation characteristics between sound and electromagnetic waves, from some phenomenon-oriented viewpoint, we have proposed 2 kinds of extended regression and inverse-regression system models reflecting hierarchically not only linear correlation information of the lower order but also nonlinear correlation information of the higher order. As a dynamic method, in order to estimate electromagnetic waves leaked from a specific VDT with an existence of a background electromagnetic noise in the real environment, from an operation-oriented viewpoint, we have proposed a practical estimation algorithm derived by applying the well-known least mean squared method for the moment statistics with several orders. Finally, the validity and effectiveness of these proposed methods are experimentally confirmed too by applying them to the actually observed data.

Abstract       We investigated extremely law frequency (ELF) magnetic field arising from asymmetric configuration of a single-phase cable and a surrounding ferromagnetic (iron) or conductive (aluminum) pipe. As the result, the magnetic field around the metal pipe was found to be enhanced and reduced by a factor of 1.5 and 0.4 respectively, depending on the measuring position compared with the case without the metal pipe. These results were interpreted as follows; the loop magnetic field has incident angle because of the asymmetric configuration, so that the magnetic field intensity in the direction normal to the aluminum pipe was decreased by induced counter magnetic field arising from eddy current flowing in the pipe. For the iron pipe, the generated loop field is shunted in the ferromagnetic pipe due to the asymmetric configuration.

Abstract     The paper describes the calculation results of induced current in human models due to magnetic field generated from a household appliance. The calculation method is the boundary element method. Human models with five internal organs were constructed from the second order curved elements. The household appliance is a hall dryer located in two different positions, which is simulated by a magnetic dipole. In the homogeneous model, maximum current density appears at the body surface near the magnetic dipole. In the models with internal organs, induced current density in the brain substantially varies with the conductivity. However, the effect of organ conductivity is very close to that in the case of a uniform magnetic field.

Abstract       Frequency characteristics of coupling of distributed coupled lines were examined. The measurement by coupled lines is suitable for high voltage and high frequency signal. However, coupling of parallel-distributed coupled line has the comb-shaped characteristics, which depend on the length of the coupled lines. The coupled lines will have the high-pass filter characteristics of constant coupling in the passband, if coupled lines are nonparallel. Then, the following were proposed: linear nonparallel coupled lines, circular arc coupled lines, and the coupled lines that amorphous magnetic substance was inserted between parallel lines. As a result of the experiment, the coupling of the coupled lines of three types had the high-pass filter characteristics which the coupling was constant.

Abstract      It is well known that 2 conductor parallel line are basic transmission systems for RF signal and energy. It gives the fundamental concept and knowledge on the RF transmission and radiation phenomena which are the main issues of EMC problems. Adding to the EM filed measurement around a 2 conductor parallel line, EM field patterns were measured on the plan that was parallel to the lines and placed with a certain distance from the line. To find the radiation sources, inverse projection was applied to the measured data, so that it may be supposed that the feeding point and the end of the line would be the radiation portions.

Abstract    Decoupling capacitors are often utilized to mitigate ground bounce and EMI problems in a printed circuit board (PCB). In this report, a new modeling approach to investigate the decoupling effect is proposed, base on a closed-form expression for the Z-matrix of the power/ground planes in a multi-layer PCB together with the lumped circuit models of decoupling capacitors. The calculated results show that the input impedance which determines the excitation efficiency of the power/ground resonance is locally decreased by a decoupling capacitor closely spaced to the excitation port. The local decoupling effect is quantitatively presented as a function of the spacing between the excitation port and the local decoupling capacitor.

Abstract      We have already confirmed that a millimeter-wave absorber between 50GHz and 110GHz was realized using epoxy resin including lossy dielectric materials as titanium dioxide of 32phr and carbon particles of 1phr. In this study, the permittivity of this material is measured at 5GHz and it is confirmed that the measured permittivity is almost satisfied with no reflection condition. The design and fabrication of the wave absorber are performed on the basis of the result mentioned before. This wave absorber showed maximum absorption between 40dB and 45dB under the thickness is 3.82mm. It was confirmed that the absorption more than 20dB are obtained at the incident angle between 0‹ and 35‹ under TE and TM waves.
