Abstract: The main cause of electromagnetic radiation from a digital PCB is high-speed switching current flowing on power supply pins of IC/LSI. To estimate and to reduce EMI, we need a behavior model to evaluate high frequency current at a power supply terminal of an IC. In this report, the authors propose an equivalent circuit model which is composed of an equivalent internal current source and an equivalent internal impedance to express current penetrating an IC from a power pin to ground. To verify the model, simulated results of reduction of high frequency current when inserting a series inductor on a power supply line is shown with correspondent results of measurement.

Abstract: The SE (Shielding Effectiveness) value of shielding material vary depending on the evaluation method used. In this report, we propose four types of calculation models for calculation of SE, obtained by one of popular measurement methods (KEC method) of magnetic SE. The first model assumes a magnetic dipole source and an infinitely-large plane shield, by which the measured SE is well-predicted when the distance between the source point and the observation point is assumed as 17mm. Second model (Schelkunoff's model), which is one-dimensional and easy-to-calculate, is found to be well-applied when r=6mm is assumed. The resistive sheet approximation for the shielding material is introduced into both the previous model and the 3-dimensional FDTD model. The validity of resistive sheet approximation is shown by comparison of calculated SE with measured one, as well as the validity of each models.

Abstract: A prediction of the electromagnetic interference (EMI) of pacemakers due to portable telephones is significant in improving the immunity of pacemakers. The Pacemaker Committee of Japan recently conducted immunity tests of pacemakers for portable telephones, and consequently concluded that the connector between the pacemaker housing and the lead wire of electrode plays a major role for the EMI due to portable telephones. Based on this finding, a computer model for predicting the EMI level has been presented, in which the internal impedance looked from the connector and the metal portion consisting of the pacemaker housing and the lead wire of electrode were considered as a load and two halves of a receiving antenna, respectively. Interference voltages induced through the connector were analyzed by using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method in conjunction with a torso and portable telephone model. The modeling was validated by comparison with the previously reported experimental results.

Abstract: We investigated the dependence on the head tissue structure of localized peak SARs (specific absorption rate) inside our newly developed MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) based head model for far-field exposure in all irradiation directions of the microwaves being employed for portable telephones. The FDTD (Finite-Difference Time-Domain) method was used to compute the SARs inside the MRI based head models consisting of various tissues up to 15 kinds for 1.5 GHz microwave far-field exposure of 1 mW/cm2 specified in an uncontrolled environment. As a result, we found that in the head model having less than three kinds of tissue, the localized peak SAR reaches maximum for side irradiation, decreasing with increasing the tissue kind, while in the head model with more than four kinds of tissue, the localized peak SAR reaches maximum for rear irradiation, whose value increases with the tissue kind and reaches saturation point for over five tissues including skin, fat, muscle, bone, and brain. The latter finding suggests that the head model having the above five tissues at most can be used enough for dosimetry evaluation with high accuracy.

Abstract: The radio communication systems such as cellular phones and wireless LAN systems have been developed rapidly in the recent years, and accordingly the interference and operational error of electronic systems become serious problems. Therefore, understanding of propagation characteristics of radio communication waves is necessary to develop high performance and reliable communication systems. Ray-tracing method is mainly applied for the analysis of indoor propagation channels. However, for the analysis of complex propagation channels, ray-tracing approach needs complex formulation and very long calculation times. In this paper, FDTD method is applied to show the interference characteristics of radio systems, such as wireless LAN, mobile communication in various structures. The locations inside the buildings, which receive week intensity of electric field are investigated.

Abstract: CISPR 11 (1997) recommends definitely the methods of in-situ measurement (called "in-situ  measuring method") to cope with interference radiated from large scale ISM equipment. It calls for measuring the field strength at 2m high above the ground and 30 ~ 100m far from the exterior wall of the building in which the equipment is installed, however, it invites a confusion in the field because the test results show a large difference depending on chosen directions. This paper indicates that the basic cause is .in the indefiniteness of the measure and explains its countermeasure.

Abstract: The electronic field strength in the far field and the intensity of magnetic the field in the near field were measured assuming an application to compact information technology equipment that has recently become widespread and by using a small-sized shield case. In the structure of distributions of the intensity of the magnetic field in the near field, we found that the shielding effectiveness in the far field was determined by the maximum radiation level of the intensity of the magnetic field in the near field from a single hole. We also found that the shielding effectiveness in the far field was related to the intensity of the magnetic field in the near field. Therefore, we estimated the shielding effectiveness in the far field by measuring the radiant intensity of the magnetic field from a single hole.

The S21 is also calculated using the hybrid method combined the method of moment (MoM) with the geometrical theory of diffraction (GTD) and using the MoM in which the finite ground plane is divided to planar-segments. The results show that the S-parameter can not be evaluated by the hybrid method but can be evaluated by the MoM. It makes clear that the antenna element direction of a rectangular ground plane should be wider when a large ground plane can not be used.

Abstract: This paper proposes a transient simulation model of pole-type distribution transformers for electromagnetic transient studies. The proposed model takes into account the following effects : (1) capacitance between windings and an enclosure and also between primary and secondary windings, (2) skin effects of winding conductors and an iron core, and (3) multiple resonance due to the combination of winding inductance and turn-to-turn capacitance. Thus, the model accurately reproduces the frequency characteristics of a pole-type distribution transformer in a wide range of frequency. The parameters of the model can easily be determined by frequency-characteristic measurements using an impedance analyzer. Because of the above capability, the proposed model enables the accurate evaluation of over-voltages on distribution lines including consumer-side over-voltages. In this paper, a 10-kVA pole-type distribution transformer is modeled, and the proposed model is validated by comparisons between simulated and laboratory-test results.

Abstract: A half-wave dipole antenna trends towards being adopted for the immunity test of medical devices for portable telephones from the viewpoint of operation efficiency. In this paper assuming the immunity test of hearing aids, we analyzed the electromagnetic fields in the external auditory canal for a portable telephone with a helical antenna using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method, and compared the results with that for a half-wave dipole exposure. The helical antenna was modeled as a stack of dipoles and loops with an adequate relative weight according to Lazzi and Gandhi's proposal. The head model was developed from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data of a Japanese adult head. As a result, it was found both for the helical antenna and half-wave dipole that the electric field shows a standing-wave characteristic in the external auditory canal, while the magnetic field decreases gradually with deepening into the external auditory canal. The electric field around the entrance of' auditory canal for the helical antenna is stronger than that for the half-wave dipole, and vice-versa in the middle auditory canal. The magnetic field in the external auditory canal for the half-wave dipole is generally higher than that for the helical antenna.

Abstract: We develop a method to evaluate the electromagnetic shielding effectiveness of a multilayered materials placed nearby an electric dipole source. The shielding effects are obtained in terms of a Sommerfeld integral, in which a spherical wave radiated from the dipole is expanded into a large number of cylindrical waves.

 The dipole source can be placed at any points with its axis either perpendicular or parallel to the material. In the far-field (high-frequency) limit the numerical results are in good agreement with a simple plane wave approximation, thus validating the present method. An air gap between the material layers is found to greatly improve its shielding effectiveness.

Abstract: Nearly one meter in thickness of the air is required to absorb VHF electromagnetic waves by using of a l/4 l type wave absorber (resistance-film /air /reflecting-film). Inserting the divided conductive films into the air layer, the thickness of the layer is reduced because of the huge real effective dielectric constant of the devided films. The effective dielectric constant with Coulomb interaction between stripe-like devided conductive films is calculated, and used to estimate the characteristics of the absorber. The panel of 10 cm in thickness can absorb waves of about 100MHz. The characteristics are mainly controlled by the width of the devided films and the air thickness between the devided films and the reflecting film, but little by the incident angle.
