Abstract: Since the biological hazards due to RF exposure are caused mainly by a temperature-rise in tissue, the effect of localized SAR for portable telephones should also be related to the temperature-rise in the human head. Although the SAR is known to be directly proportional to the antenna input power of portable telephones, the dependence of temperature-rise on the antenna input power remains unclear. In this paper, the relationship between the peak temperature-rise in the human head and the antenna input power was investigated by using the FDTD method in conjunction with detailed models of a human head and a portable telephone. It was found that the peak temperature-rise in all types of tissue is approximately proportional to the antenna input power. It was also found that the peak temperature-rise in the brain can be calculated from the blood-flow and heating potential.

Abstract: With the recent increase in the use among young children of portable telephones, public concern regarding potential health hazards due to a hot spot appearing inside the infant head, has been growing. In order to examine whether or not the hot spot can be produced by portable telephones, dosimetric computations were conducted for our developed realistic head models and homogeneous spheres, which simulate the heads of adult, child and infant. The FD-TD (finite-difference time-domain) method was used to compute the local SARs (specific absorption rate) in the heads for 1.5 GHz portable telephones and also for 1.5 GHz plane wave exposure. As a result, it was found that in the actual use of portable telephone the localized peak SARs always occur on the surface of the realistic model and homogeneous sphere regardless of their size and therefore any hot spots does not appear inside them. On the other hand, when the portable telephone is located at a distance of 9.75cm from the head, the hot spot was found to appear inside both the realistic model and homogeneous sphere for the infant, which was confirmed also for plane wave exposure.  It should be noted, however that the hot spot magnitude is considerably smaller compared to that of the localized peak SAR occurring on the head surface.

Abstract: Through location of EM precursor by multi-spot observation, we could find two facts, one is three kinds of radiation coming from sea-surface of trench or volcanic belt, inland regional and near-by area of distorted crust, secondly, the radiation level versus propagation distance, that was well consistent with the results of electromagnetic wave theory. And further we have discussed one another physical precursor of Geiger-Muller counter of high energy radiation. The counter was set-up in Itoh-city, volcanic swarm area, and showed an anomalous value of about three times of the usual background level for one and half months preceding the swarm experienced last April. This means that there exists wide precursor phenomena of such a quantum electromagnetic dynamics other than electro-chemistry and mechanic-electrical mechanisms taken place in the deep high-pressure, high-density situations by tectonics.

Abstract: A conforming anechoic chamber on the frequency range from 30 MHz to 10 GHz was built using an electromagnetic absorbing material composed of ferrite and foamed ferrite. However, expanding the characteristics of the chamber to the frequency range from 10 GHz to 20 GHz, by adding pyramidal carbon absorbers, revealed that characteristics at frequencies around 200 MHz are worsened. An improvement by the ray tracing method was investigated. As the result, making the measurement axe oblique suppressed the problem described above. Moreover, it was confirmed that a better improvement can be obtained by replacing a portion of the lateral pyramidal carbon absorbers with twice taller ones.

Abstract: We conducted a research to clarify the probable cause of the measurement errs. We found that, when a range of broad band noise is measured using a receiver and spectrum analyzer which conform to the CISPR 16 standard, the measurement errs between the QP (quasi-peak) values can reach up to 8dB at the radiated emission noise tests, and reach more than 30dB at the conducted emission noise tests. we propose to revive the once-available CISPR 16 document for current use, as this document described that, in case of a doubt, the value at the receiver side should have the priority. We also found that, at a specific frequency range, the signal transfer line of the measuring system indicated loss of about 10dB, just because of an incomplete contact at the coaxial connection switch. Similarly, we encountered a phenomena that the antenna factor suddenly changes and its cause was found to be an incomplete contact of a single element. In order to prevent occurrences of these measurement errs, it is necessary to confirm the transmission loss and reception sensitivity for the whole frequency range prior to a test.

Abstract: This paper describes the ElectroMagnetic Interference (EMI) in avionics systems caused by portable electronic devices (PEDs). The path loss from PEDs to aircraft navigation systems and to cables on the cabin floor were measured in Boeing 777s. Results show that the total path loss from PEDs to navigation systems is 43dB in minimum and 90dB in average, suggesting the little probability of interference to avionics; however, there remains some probability of the interference. The path loss to the cables is large enough so as the interference through the path can be ignored. Several PEDs were used in aircraft cabin, both on the ground and in flight to investigate the interference. However, no interference to the navigation systems was observed during the test.

Abstract: A current in a printed circuit board (PCB) power supply line contains radio frequency (RF) currents corresponding to all internal LSI circuit currents. Then, it is necessary for estimating the power supply current to use an appropriate model for LSI power supply terminals. In this report, a new LSI model for the power supply terminal is proposed, which is a component whose resistance varies with time. Current in the power supply line of a PCB was well simulated by using the model. The maximum deviation between simulated values of current spectra and the measured in experiments was found to be within 10dB in the range of 1MHz to 1GHz.

Abstract: We characterized transmission of a SCM system using optical repeaters with frequency-block conversion to realize cost-effectiveness by the use of standardized transmission equipment and reduction of preparation for lasing wavelength selection of light sources, and to increase transmission length and number of terminals. This system is especially useful to collect video signals from multiple points. In order to characterize transmission performance, CNR effected by optical beat interference derived from simultaneously detecting multiple optical signals transmitted from terminals and an optical repeater, and moreover composite distortions generated at a light source and a receiver in an optical repeater were examined. To practically evaluate this characterization, a SCM system having 2 optical repeaters with frequency block-conversion was set up. We confirmed that characterized CNR and composite distortions have a good agreement with measured results. As we certified validity of system characterization, we derived limits of transmission length, number of terminals and number of optical repeats by evaluating CNR and composite distortions. We also demonstrate those results.

Abstract: Ingress noise is generally known to degrade up-link signals in CATV network. In particular, ingress noise in the frequency band lower than 20MHz disturbs seriously the data communication. In this paper, at first, we analyze the ingress noises in the actual CATV networks. Based on the measurement result above, we introduce the up-link access method, which uses multi-carrier frequency hopping mechanism. Then we show a potential of communication in low frequency bandwidth by means of the test result in an actual CATV network with the cable modem system that uses the access method.

Abstract: In a low cost relay station for SFN (Single Frequency Networks) of digital terrestrial broadcasting, the coupling effect from transmitting antenna to receiving antenna should be reduced to avoid distortion and oscillation problem. In this paper, a simple booster system without decision and re-modulation technology is focused. For OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) system, we propose a coupled wave canceling system using adaptive signal processing with small process delay time. The proposal system use adaptive FIR filter to cancel, which is controlled by transfer function determined from scattered pilot symbols obtained broadcast wave. The usefulness of the proposed system has been verified by the computer simulations.

Abstract: Transparent conductive films are used to the energy saving windowpane for the excellent solar energy reflection characteristic. Radio waves are almost reflected by such high conductive films and cause radio interferences sometimes. Dividing a conductive film we can control the reflection. Modeling of the separated stripe-like films to ultra thin ellipse poles and using the method of image, we calculate the transmittance and reflectance. We studied the relation between the transmission characteristics and each parameter of the separated films. The characteristic in frequency is mainly controlled by the width of the film and the dielectric constant of the substrate.  The sheet glass of several mm in thickness with a divided film of 1 cm in width, transmits radio waves up to about 1 GHz.

Abstract: Since the discovery of l/f noise generated from cathode rays by Johnson, several 1/f noises have been found in physical phenomena. So I try to make clear this phenomena by Shrdinger wave equation. When Shrdinger wave equation is applied to solve about time, in case of l/f noise observed, a sin integral function was found in a solution of energy. And finally as the solution of equation , a rectangle wave, which stood alone was got. The example which showed a characteristic of isolated rectangle wave is found.

Abstract: In order to improve the error rate performance under radio frequency man-made noise environment, optimum reception based on the statistical characteristics of man-made noise has been proposed. In this optimum reception, the statistical characteristics of man-made noise have to be estimated in advance. In this paper, we employ Middleton's class-A impulsive noise model as a statistical model of man-made noise, and discuss the parameter estimation of class-A model and the performance of optimum receiver constructed with estimated parameters. Numerical results show that, although the enormous amount of noise sample is required to obtain precise estimated parameters, a good error performance of optimum receiver can be obtained with parameters estimated by a certain amount of noise sample.
