Abstract: It is a matter of concern for those who reside in the neighborhood of power lines whether EMFs is a possible human carcinogen. A divided panel of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) published a draft by WG organized by the NIEHS with support of the EMF Research and Public Information Dissemination (EMFRAPID) Program, and stated that EMFs should be considered a possible cause of cancer. The WG could not consider that the EMFs is carcinogenous in animal and cellular experiments. The WG's opinions were divided as to an assessment of epidemiologic papers, and the WG voted 19 to 9 to power line EMFs as a possible cause of cancer. But a measure of the assessment is not obvious in this draft; the WG took no account of the authors' assessments to be no problem for public health in their investigations. In this paper, we review the assessments in this draft on the related epidemiologic papers for childhood leukemia.

Abstract: Since the discovery of l/f noise by Johnson, generated from cathode rays several l/f noises have been found in physical phenomena that is regarded as movement of a flowing particle. This is considered as there will be a squarewave and an integrator, because it has l/f noise frequency characteristics.  Then it become clear that will be made by the addition of the waves which were similar and the same squarewave. When the addition had happened, the wave was limited to only a squarewave which stood alone. The wave doesn't have the alternating current ingredient that can be always observed, but I can explain contradiction of observation by transition probability. Because the transition probability and the squarewave that related to momentum and kinetic energy which is derived from perturbation about time of quantum mechanics. Actually the example that showed a characteristic of a squarewave is found.

Abstract: Common mode choke coil (CMC) is used to suppress the common mode current become a factor of the electromagnetic radiation noise. We researched CMC for a GHz band. In this frequency area, a transmission loss increase in the balance mode becomes a problem simultaneously with the effect of suppression of common mode current. In this report, CMC with the transmission line structure was examined by combining the capacity of two lines and the magnetic circuits for the transmission loss improvement. CMC that the loss is few was obtained in the high frequency area by matching the characteristic impedance of the balance mode with the insertion system of CMC.

Abstract: In this paper, the estimation method of current and voltage distributions by scanning a probe is proposed. This method uses the phenomenon that the coupling between the current and the probe is varied by the probe direction. Actually, the current and voltage are estimated by calculating the probe vector output at four directions. Therefore, both current and voltage vector distributions can be estimated at the same time by one probe. The current and voltage distributions in a digital IC package by this method are estimated. And, the method is investigated by using these estimated results. The probe used in this method seems to be able to reduce its size, because it has simple structure.

Abstract: Dynamic responses for impulse noise on power supply line (Vcc) of asymmetrical noise immunity Flip-flop with two transistors are investigated to clarify its malfunction mechanism. By analyzing the time constant of RC circuit which controls base current of initially saturated transistor, it is revealed that the reversal action of output Q is caused by inverse current of collector resistor of cutoff transistor (RC l ).  The inverse current of Rc1 is generated by abrupt voltage drop of Vcc line which occurs at the end of positive impulse noise and the beginning of negative impulse noise.

Abstract: Balanced pair cables are commonly twisted since the reduction of electromagnetic induction is preferred. When there are electric currents in cable wires, the effect of shielding is considered by how much magnetic-flux produced near the cable. We obtained the each flux densities produced by the five kinds of twisted cables, that is twisting, pairs composed of one, two, three, four or six element-wires. The shielding effect of each pair is evaluated by the amount of magnetic flux induction generated by pairs. The one-wire twisting cable corresponds to one-element cable in the case of twisting state. In the case of many composed twisting wires, the amount of magnetic flux is possible to obtain by means of superposition of this one-wire twisting element. The three-wires twisting cables that are used widely in industrial field are composed by three wires and one wire of them is assigned to earth line. Increasing the number of composed-wires means the improvement of electromagnetic property of the cable.

Abstract: We made a program to calculate classical site attenuation using FDTD method and compared the result with the theoretical value. For absorbing boundary condition, we use Mur's secondary one. And calculated frequency range is from 30MHz to 300MHz. AS the result, in the convergence time the calculated value has fairly difference between theoretical one because of the reflection from the absorbing boundary. But at the initial time with no reflection there is a good agreement with calculated value and theoretical one.

Abstract: As we were doubting about the linearity of the measuring EMI level against the emitted EMI level of EUT, we have investigated the linearity in EMI measuring system (without antenna) of 4 sites below 1GHz. It is easy to investigate the linearity of EMI measuring system without antenna, as the output level of antenna can be simulated by the output level of standard signal generator using signal generator instead of antenna. We found that the deviation from linear curve are greater than not only the measuring error of measuring method of linearity but also the tolerance of accuracy required by CISPR 16-1 in the EMI measuring system of all sites investigated. So, we study the means to keep the deviation from the linear curve within the tolerance of CISPR16-1 in the range of the simulated EMI level between VCCI class B level and class B minus 6dB level and we have introduced actually in a EMI measuring system of certain site.

Abstract: In this paper for the modeling about electromagnetic transmission, comparison with close field spectrum and electric field distribution radiated from a printed circuit board (PCB) is discussed. Close field spectrum and line impedance was compared by the calculation using FDTD-method. It is clear that close field spectrum has relationship with characteristic of line impedance, because dip around 430 MHz of close field spectrum agrees with maximum of line impedance. So as to model on far field transmission, electric field distribution was measured in the anechoic chamber. As the antenna is move away father from the PCB, the amplitude of the electric field decreases, but spectrum pattern did not change. When close field spectrum compared with electric field distribution, close field spectrum did not agree with electric field at lower frequency range. So, it is clear that electromagnetic distribution should be simulated more in detail.

Abstract: We developed the pseudo noise generator according to specified amplitude probability distribution (APD) and evaluated the performance. This device generates the M-bit binary random numbers by using the binary-tree search techniques based on the conditional probability calculated from specified APD. Three types of pseudo noise which have uniform distribution, normal distribution and special distribution specified with microwave oven (MWO) noise are evaluated by measuring those statistical parameters as APD, CRD and PDD. This device generated the pseudo noise which corresponded exactly to specified APD. Moreover we confirmed that the independently occurred pseudo noise also corresponded well to theoretical CRD, PDD. However the pseudo noise specified APD of MWO noise did not give the CRD, PDD characteristics of actual MWO noise for the reason of time correlation.

Abstract: A simulating method for pseudorandom noise controllable of two kinds of fundamental statistical characteristics, that is an amplitude probability distribution (APD) and a crossing rate distribution (CRD), is described. The principle of this method is to generate the random numbers having the required CRD characteristics, and then to control the interval of the numbers by the required APD characteristics. For the use of digital techniques , the programmable pseudorandom noise generator based on this principle can be built up by only digital circuits except a digital to analog converter of final stage. Therefore, it is easy to repeat the measurements by using the generator.

Abstract: In this paper, the high loss magnetic and dielectric material are selected as the shield material, and the shielding effect of these materials itself, and also by locating these materials in front of the oval human model are investigated for near and far field exposure, using the half wave-length dipole antenna. According to the results, the magnetic material shows a large shielding effect (20dB), compared to dielectric material at the distance of 0.5ă, which is able to be considered to the plane wave shield. Also the reduction of the shielding effect was small (2dB) for magnetic material, on the other hand large for the dielectric material, by decreasing the distance between the antenna and shield. Moreover, by locating the magnetic material in front of the human model, the variation of the shielding effect compared with the humanless result was small (0.2-1.5dB), for the gap distance between the human and shield, on the other hand, large for the dielectric material.

Abstract: A novel in vivo exposure setup has been developed for testing possible promoting effects of 1.5 GHz digital cellular phones on mouse skin carcinogenesis. The exposure setup possesses two main features. One of the features is the employment of an electrically short monopole antenna with capacitive-loading, which supplies the ability to realize a highly localized peak SAR above 2 W/kg under a whole-body-averaged SAR below 0.08 W/kg for a mouse. Another feature is the adoption of transparent absorber, which supplies the ability to observe the exposure process as well as mouse activities during the exposure. Dosimetric analyses for the exposure setup have been carried out both numerically and experimentally. A fair agreement between the numerical and experimental results have been confirmed, which verifies the validity of the novel exposure setup.

Abstract: Public concerns regarding potential health hazards due to microwaves radiating from the communication towers for cellular phones, have been growing. In order to examine the dependence on irradiation direction of SAR (specific absorption rate) inside the head for microwave far-field exposure, we conducted dosimetric computations using a newly-developed MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) based head model. The FD-TD (finite-difference time-domain) method was used to compute the local SARs in the head for 1.5GHz far-fields with 1.0 mW/cm2. Dosimetric comparison with the results for our previously developed head model was also made.

Abstract: An analysis was done on the electromagnetic radiation from the clock net placed near the card edge. The electric and magnetic moments were calculated using the current distribution obtained by an moment-method based EM solver. It was appeared that by placing the net near the edge, there arise the common mode currents both in normal and parallel direction of the signal net. Also there arise loop currents in the PCB ground plane and signal trace. It depends on the termination value. From the analysis on the current distribution at the instance when its electric and magnetic dipole moments corresponds to its maximum value, the mechanism of generation of each common and differential mode current is studied.

Abstract: It is well known that pass-through current, caused by an IC during its output transient state, can be one of dominant sources of the radiated field from the printed circuit board (PCB). In this paper, a modeling method is proposed to analyze this problem with a full-wave electromagnetic simulator. An analysis on the decoupling method, specifically for the case which the IC is placed on a multi-layer PCB with a segmented power island over a ground plane structure, has been carried out and found that there is close relationship between the PCB layer structure and the adequate location of the decoupling capacitors. Measurements have also been done with experimental model and the results are presented.

Abstract: A simple method for diagnosing the electric equipment's malfunction by cable induced common-mode noise injection test was proposed, which can contribute to the Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) trace designs for common-mode noise. A grading index, which is defined as the ratio of the stray capacitances with and without critical IC of malfunction, was introduced to distinguish the PCBs susceptible to the common-mode noise. This proposed method was validated experimentally using four PCBs with the same circuit but different trace design. It was observed that the noise immunity of PCBs had a good correlation with the values of these grading indices.

Abstract: Adaptive arrays have been paid attention widely as an attractive solution for multipath fading in the mobile communication systems. Although many configurations of the adaptive array and adaptive control schemes are proposed, its complexity prevents it from practical use. In this paper, we propose novel configuration of the adaptive array which achieves beamforming, equalization and despreading simultaneously based on CMA algorithm applicable to one-user Spread Spectrum communication systems. It is expected that it allows us to implement easily due to its simple configuration. The performance is examined through computer simulations.

Abstract: We proposed a vertically polarized wave antenna that has omnidirectional pattern into a horizontal plane and is applied fro spade diversity. Also, a wideband slot antenna composed on a dielectric substrate of the narrow width was proposed. We herein propose to compose on a same plane these 2. Furthermore, 4 diversity antennas by using this polarization diversity antenna were experimentally produced. The diversity effect was compared with a conventional vertical diversity antenna. This paper reports antenna characteristics, propagation characteristics and the structure of this polarization diversity antenna.

Abstract: The array antenna with an uniform space often generates an grating lobe in the broadband frequency range or in the slant direction. We study a way of the grating lobe suppression by using an array antenna arrangement with non-uniform space. The suppression effect is verified by simulations and some experiments, which is given by 15 elements of spiral antennas in the range of 6-18GHz.
