The article presents the study of conducted disturbance emission, which was subjected to the alarm control panel on the (+, -) 24V DC power supply ports and the method of elimination of electromagnetic interferences. The measurements were carried out in an accredited testing laboratory on a measurement stand with a standardized configuration of equipment in accordance with the applicable standards in the field of electromagnetic compatibility. During the measurements, exceedances of the limit value at the power terminals were observed. Appropriate steps have been taken to reduce the interference levels by using an appropriate anti-interference filter inside the control panel. Installing the filter in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions allowed to obtain the expected results. The article presents the effects of research in the form of electro-magnetic characteristics of conductive disturbances as a function of frequencies recorded on the measuring device.

This paper presents results of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing of three implantable neurostimulators exposed to the magnetic fields emitted from several walk-through and hand-held metal detectors. The motivation behind this testing comes from numerous adverse event reports involving active implantable medical devices (AIMDs) and security systems that have been received by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). EMC testing was performed using three neurostimulators exposed to the emissions from 12 walk-through metal detectors (WTMDs) and 32 hand-held metal detectors (HHMDs). Emission measurements were performed on all HHMDs and WTMDs and summary data is presented. Results from the EMC testing indicate possible electromagnetic interference (EMI) between one of the neurostimulators and one WTMD and indicate that EMI between the three neurostimulators and HHMDs is unlikely. The results suggest that worst case situations for EMC testing are hard to predict and testing all major medical device modes and setting parameters are necessary to understand and characterize the EMC of AIMDs.

The Impact

The paper describes the influence of power electronics, energy processing, and emergency radio systems (ERS) immunity testing on onboard aircraft equipment and ground stations providing air traffic services. The implementation of next-generation power electronics introduces potential hazards for the safety and reliability of aircraft systems, especially the interferences from power electronics with high-power processing. The paper focuses on clearly identifying, experimentally verifying, and quantifiably measuring the effects of power electronics processing using switching modes versus the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of emergency radio systems with electromagnetic interference (EMI). EMI can be very critical when switching power radios utilize backup receivers, which are used as aircraft backup systems or airport last-resort systems. The switching power electronics process produces interfering electromagnetic energy to create problems with onboard aircraft radios or instrument landing system (ILS) avionics services. Analyses demonstrate significant threats and risks resulting from interferences between radio and power electronics in airborne systems. Results demonstrate the impact of interferences on intermediate-frequency processing, namely, for very high frequency (VHF) radios. The paper also describes the methodology of testing radio immunity against both weak and strong signals in accordance with recent aviation standards and guidance for military radio communication systems in the VHF band.

In industrial equipment and home appliance applications, the electromagnetic compatibility compliance directive (ECCD) demands that electromagnetic interference side effects be eliminated or marginally minimized. The equipment must not disturb radio and telecommunication as well as other appliances. Additionally the ECCD also governs the immunity of such equipment to interference and seeks to ensure that this equipment is not disturbed by radio emissions when used as intended. Many types of absorbing materials are commercially available. However, many are expensive and not environmentally friendly. It is in the light of the above that we studied the electromagnetic absorption properties of ZnO-PCL nanocomposites prepared from cheap and abundant resources which are environmentally friendly (zinc and polycaprolactone). The test was carried out using a microstrip, open ended coaxial probe, and vector network analyzer. Amongst other findings, result showed that the ZnO-PCL nanocomposite has the capability of attenuating microwave frequency up to −18.2 dB due to their very high specific surface areas attributed to the nanofillers at 12 GHz.

Системы интеллектуального управления базируются на использовании цифровой техники и по своему принципу действия восприимчивы к внешним помехам. Изменения напряжения и тока в кабелях, электромагнитные поля могут привести к появлению в цепях передачи информации и питания систем напряжений, похожих на полезные сигналы, что приведет к сбоям в работе систем. Технология электромагнитной совместимости (ЭМС) призвана устранить взаимные влияния оборудования и обеспечить его нормальную работу в условиях действия помех. Кабельные трассы являются особенно значимым фактором для обеспечения ЭМС на судах. Помехи распространяются в кабелям от источников к чувствительному электронному оборудованию (ЭО). Метод распространяющихся волн дает возможность рассчитать изменения помех при распространении по кабелям. Силовые и информационные кабели могут прокладываться в одной трассе, что приводит к их электромагнитной связи. Рассмотренные модели оценивают наведенные напряжения в информационных кабелях при появлении помех в силовых кабелях. Параметры электромагнитной связи кабелей могут быть определены расчетным путем и экспериментально на основе предлагаемой методики. Приведенные рекомендации по снижение уровня излучаемых помех от кабельных трасс, снижению наведенных напряжений и выполнению экранирования призваны помочь разработчикам ЭО и систем в обеспечении ЭМС.Intellectual control systems are based on digital technique. Digital electronic equipment (EE) is the receptor of electromagnetic interference due to its function principle. EE malfunction can be caused by induced voltages in input/output and power supply circuits. Voltage and current changes in cables leads to electromagnetic noise and induced voltages. Protection technique for power, input/output, case and grounding ports can be used in equipment and ship systems design. Electromagnetic compatibility technique must eliminate mutual influence of EE and give normal function of EE in real electromagnetic environment. Cable run is important factor for EMC obtaining in ships. Noise voltage propagates in cable from noise source to sensitive EE. Voltage parameters can be calculated with travelling wave technique. There are power and information cables in shipboard cable run. Electromagnetic coupling of cables leads to voltages in one cable induced by voltages and current in other cable. Coupling models give possibility to calculate induced voltages. Parameters of coupling can be determined with calculation on the base of detailed information about cable run or with proposed experiment procedure. Proposed recommendations about cable emission decreasing, cables decoupling and shielding can be useful for EMC obtaining.

The transmission line is an important part of electrical system. Electromagnetic interference (EMI) signals can be picked up by transmission lines in a way of conduction or radiation, and interfere the sensitive devices located in the power source end and the load end, so it is important and necessary to separate and identify the EMI source signals coupling to the transmission lines in order to guide the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) design and the further EMI diagnosis and suppression. Fast independent component analysis (FastICA) algorithm is studied and programmed, and its feasibility and separation performance are validated via simulation of BSS of three mixed signals and the average signals to interference ratio (SIR) is approximately 30 dB. The model of crosstalk of transmission lines is built and simulated, the interference signals are separated by the FastICA algorithm, and the average SIR is over 20 dB. Periodicity and spectral characteristics of the separated interference signals are analyzed, and the identification of interference signals is realized.

The development of an algorithm to automate the process of measuring the magnetic properties of macroscopic objects in motion is an important problem in various industries, especially in ferrous metallurgy and at factories where ferrous scrap is a strategic raw material. The parameter that requires work control is the hidden mass fraction of a non-magnetic substance that is present in the ferromagnetic raw material. The solution to this problem has no prototypes. In our work, a simple measuring device and a mathematical algorithm for calculating the mass fraction of the non-magnetic fraction in a strongly magnetic matrix were developed. The device is an inductance coil, in which the angle of the electromagnet losses is related to the mass of the magnetic material moving the coil. The magnitude of the instantaneous values of the lost angle integral was compared with the result of weighing the object on scales. This allowed us to calculate the proportion of the magnetic and non-magnetic fractions. The use of this prototype is herein illustrated. The experimental results of the determination of the magnetic-fractional composition depending on the mass of scrap metal and its bulk and the magnetic characteristics are presented.

Antenna Factor

In the fields of electromagnetic interference and electromagnetic compatibility, it is important to measure the strength of the electric field originating from electric devices. For this purpose, knowledge of the antenna factor of a receiving antenna is necessary. According to international standards, the accurate measurement of the antenna factor involves the use of calibration test sites characterized by very large sizes of both the ground plane and the empty space volume above it. As a consequence, these setup conditions make the antenna factor measurements quite expensive for the customer. In this paper, the authors discuss the well know antenna-based and site-based methods as well as recently measurement method called Antenna Impedance Method as able to obtain the free-space antenna factor. Moreover, the authors investigate on the suitability of semi-anechoic chamber for reliable antenna factor calibrations. In particular, the experimental measurements of the antenna factor obtained by using the antenna impedance method were compared with Standard Field Method and the data provided by the manufacturer of three antennas (Biconical, Log-periodic and Horn antenna) founding an agreement with the international standard ANSI C63.5-2006.
