“How Can I Get a Copy of an Abstracted Article?”

Engineering college/university libraries, public libraries, company or corporate libraries, National Technical Information Services (NTIS), or the Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC) are all possible sources for copies of abstracted articles of papers. If the library you visit does not own the source document, the librarian can probably request the material or a copy from another library through interlibrary loan, or for a small fee, you can order it from NTIS or DTIC. Recently it became clear that EMCABs were more timely than publications which were being listed in data files. Therefore, additional information will be included, when available, to assist in obtaining desired articles or papers. Examples are: IEEE, SAE, ISBN, and Library of Congress identification numbers.

As the EMC Society becomes more international, we will be adding additional worldwide abstractors who will be reviewing articles and papers in many languages. We will continue to set up these informal cooperation networks to assist members in getting the information or contacting the author(s). We are particularly interested in symposium proceedings which have not been available for review in the past. Thank you for any assistance you can give to expand the EMCS knowledge base. EMC

CROSSTALK EFFECTS FROM A CASCADED LINE WITH DIFFERENT HEIGHTS TO A TRANSMISSION LINE

liu@ice.uec.ac.jp
Proceedings of 3rd International Symposium on EMC, Beijing, China, May 21-24, 2002, pp. 91-94.

Abstract: Crosstalk or coupling characteristics between a cascaded line with an abrupt step on the way and a straight transmission line of finite length are discussed comparing measured and calculated results. To analyze the coupling phenomenon, a modified telegrapher's equation including the effects of external fields to the lines system is derived. The fields can be obtained by estimating vector potentials of currents in the line and the terminal sections, where the terminals are fabricated like a configuration as "via". A four-port network expression on voltages and currents at each terminal is obtained from solutions of the equation. Some experiments have been done to appraise the utility of the theory used here by comparing transmission characteristics.
Index terms: Transmission line, cascaded line with different heights, crosstalk effects, modified telegrapher's equation, experiment.

Abstract: The paper deals with a modified version of Fang-Mei's super-absorption algorithm for the truncation of three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) meshes combined with an innovative low pass filtered algorithm to assure numerical stability of the FDTD procedure for late time. The proposed method is usually applied to analysis of slow-decaying transient problems, such as the lightning or nuclear electromagnetic pulse interaction with a cable or complex structures. Numerical results have demonstrated the efficiency of the proposed method.

Abstract: The data rates and clock speeds of current high-speed signals are increasing rapidly; consequently, not only the lossy nature of FR-4 but also the lossy nature of good conductors, such as copper, need to be taken into account in high-speed signal designs. In order to well predict the loss caused by both dielectric loss and skin effect loss, a suitable simulation tool is needed. A surface impedance boundary condition (SIBC) algorithm was implemented in FDTD modeling herein to accommodate the skin effect loss due to finite conductivity of good conductors. Good agreement between the FDTD result and the measurements as well as the SPICE result was obtained for a 14 mils wide strip line.
Index terms: Simulation tool, FDTD modeling, skin effect loss, surface impedance boundary condition.

SP Swedish National Testing and Research Institute, Box 857, S-501 15 Boras, Sweden
Proceedings of 3rd International Symposium on EMC, Beijing, China, May 21-24, 2002, pp. 272-275.

Abstract: A method to make a CAD model of a vehicle suitable for electromagnetic (EM) simulations is presented. Three different EMC problems have been studied by using the derived CAD models in a Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) program: first, the coupling between antennas mounted on the vehicle; second, the locations of "hot spots", i.e. places with high field strength inside the vehicle; and third, the E-field probed in a circle around the vehicle. The agreement between simulations and measurements performed in a semi-anechoic chamber was found to be satisfactory.
Index terms: Vehicle, CAD model, electrical environment, FDTD simulation.

It is a very simple model made of an FM/AM modulator. Comparison between an actual noise and the proposed model in the waveforms and spectra clearly demonstrates the usefulness of the proposed model.

Proceedings of 3rd International Symposium on EMC, Beijing, China, May 21-24, 2002, pp. 589-594.

Abstract: The electromagnetic wave theory of Schelkunoff has been studied. The condition of energetics and the reaction mechanism on depositing Ni-P alloy are investigated. Moreover, the modified textile possessed of the duplex characterization of absorbing and shielding effectiveness property is prepared by electro-less coating. By analyzing three kinds of modified textile both in respect to microscopy and characterizations testing, the preparation conditions of the multifunctional and modified textile are put forward. The mol ratio of Ni2+ to H2PO2- in the electro-less Ni-P alloy coating solution directly influences the phosphorous proportion in the modified layer of textile. Three frequency bands are studied in this paper: 30MHz ~ 1000MHz for SE, 12G ~ 18GHz and 100K ~ 1.5GHz for AE. The maximum of corresponding results are Ð80dB (SE) at 265MHz, -24.67dB (AE) at 15.2GHz and Ð12.28dB (AE) at 435.1MHz, respectively.
Index terms: Absorbing materials, shielding materials, textile, electro-less coating.

Proceedings of 3rd International Symposium on EMC, Beijing, China, May 21-24, 2002, pp. 595-598.

Abstract: Metal-coating plastics are being used as shielding materials for electronic and information terminals due to their light weight. In this paper, a finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) algorithm was newly proposed for analyzing the shielding effectiveness of metal-coating plastics in a broad frequency band. The method was based on the derivation of a time-domain representation of the surface resistance of an equivalent resistive film. The validity of the proposed algorithm, for both far-field and near-field shielding, was verified by comparing the calculated results with theoretical ones. Good agreement was found between them when the size of the shielding material was sufficiently large compared to the wavelength.
Index terms: Metal-coating plastics, shielding effectiveness, equivalent resistive film, FDTD algorithm.

Abstract: In this paper, a novel model of crosstalk in ultra-high-frequency micro-strip transmission lines is proposed. Analogous to dielectric relaxation considerations of Cole-Cole diagrams as applied to dielectric materials, a "reactive relaxation" concept is introduced to represent the frequency-dependent characteristics of coupled micro-strip lines. Relevant algorithms are shown to be useful in computer-aided circuit designs.

EMC Research Section, Northern Jiaotong University, Beijing 100044, China
Proceedings of 3rd International Symposium on EMC, Beijing, China, May 21-24, 2002, pp.704-709.

Abstract: Heat sink is an indispensable component in an electronic device. However, containing emission from heat sink is rapidly becoming a necessity caused by higher power levels and faster clocking digital circuits. It affects the sensitive circuit. In this paper, some grounding schemes of heat sink are presented and calculated applying the FDTD method. It is shown that different grounding points affect the electromagnetic characteristics of heat sink differently, and more grounding points don't necessarily result in the improvement of electromagnetic characteristics. Considering four grounding points, four edge centered ground points are selected for little electromagnetic field.
Index terms: Heat sink, radiated emission, FDTD method, grounding effect.
