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 or 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

Abstract: In this paper, a model for vias is presented, based
on a recently developed stripline model. The via model has been
validated based on measurements and field simulations. The influence
of inhomogeneous media in the modeling of striplines has been
investigated. This via model together with a generic 3-terminal
driver model can be immediately implemented in SPICE simulators,
much easier than existing via models, such that various factors
affecting the return path discontinuity (RPD) caused by vias can
be analyzed conveniently.
Index terms: Return path discontinuity, stripline model, via modeling,

Proceedings of 2004 International Symposium on Electromagnetic
Compatibility, Sendai, Japan, June 1-4, 2004, Vol. 1, pp.101-104
Abstract: Since WLAN (Wireless LAN: IEEE802.11b) systems shares
the 2.4 GHz frequency band with microwave ovens, interference
caused by the radiated noise from the ovens is a serious problem.
This paper proposes the use of adaptive filters to suppress the
microwave oven interference in DS-SS (Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum)
WLAN links. This method is based on the fact that oven noise can
be regarded as CW-like interference in a short duration. In contrast
to the conventional suppression techniques for oven noise, this
method can be implemented without any change of the specifications
of currently used WLAN systems. The results of numerical simulations
clearly demonstrate the effectiveness of the method for improving
the bit error rate of the WLAN links interfered by oven noise.
Index terms: Adaptive filter, WLAN, microwave oven, ISM band,
spread spectrum, EMI.

Proceedings of 2004 International Symposium on Electromagnetic
Compatibility, Sendai, Japan, June 1-4, 2004, Vol. 1, pp.277-280
Abstract: In this paper, a circuit-concept approach under a weak-coupling
assumption is expanded for the analysis of crosstalk between multiconductor
transmission lines (MTLs) in arbitrary directions on a gigabit
digital printed circuit board (PCB). Under the weak-coupling assumption,
the calculation of crosstalk requires only self-terms of per-unit-length
parameters such as capacitance and inductance. The effect of the
mutual-terms of the parameters can be estimated by considering
external electromagnetic fields coupling between MTLs. It is shown
that the crosstalk calculated by the expanded circuit-concept
approach agrees fairly well with the result obtained by solving
MTL equations in which the calculation of per-unit-length parameter
matrices is essentially required.

Abstract: Recently, electromagnetic (EM) wave absorbers had been
proposed to improve the EM environment of Dedicated Short-Range
Communication (DSRC) systems for Electronic Toll Collection (ETC)
applications. In this paper, the ray-tracing method, which has
been widely used to study the radio wave propagations on terrain
profiles, is employed to study the EM environment when wave absorbers
are installed on the sidewalls and the pavement of an express
highway. The validity of the employed model is discussed by the
comparison with the actual measurement on an outdoor experiment.
The analysis shows that the possible undesired communication between
a running vehicle and DSRC antenna is improved by increasing EM
wave-absorption capabilities of pavement and sidewalls.
Index terms: Communication zone, DSRC, EM environment, wave absorber,

Abstract: The RF integrated noise suppressor is demonstrated by
integration of soft magnetic films on a coplanar transmission
line. The vertical structure is composed of the magnetic film
(2 mm x 15 mm x 1, 2 mm) /2 mm-thick polyimide/15.2 mm long and
3 mm- thick Cu transmission line/seed layer (Ti/Cu) /1 mm-thick
glass substrate. The coplanar transmission line was prepared by
electroplated Cu with 50 W- characteristic impedance. The width
of the signal line is 50 mm. The magnetic films were deposited
by RF magnetron sputtering. We used CoPdAlO (4pMs=8.3 kG, r= 500
mWcm, FMR frequency fres=2.8 GHz) and CoNbZr (4pMs=10 kG, r=120
mWcm, fres=0.8 GHz) magnetic films. The measured transmission
parameter (S21) of the integrated noise suppressor was compared
with those of the non-integrated noise suppressor. The magnitude
of signal attenuation due to the ferromagnetic resonance and eddy
current loss of magnetic films at resonance point was greatly
increased by the integration: from -4 dB to -30 dB for the 1 mm-thick
CoNbZr film, and from -15 dB to 57 dB for the 2 mm-thick
CoPdAlO film, respectively.

Abstract: An estimation method of source location of undesired
electromagnetic wave from electronic devices by using the MUSIC
algorithm is proposed. The MUSIC algorithm can estimate the direction
of arrival accurately, however, the estimation error is large
in the case of short range multiple coherent sources. In order
to overcome this problem, a method to improve the estimation accuracy
is presented. Experimental results show that the proposed method
can reduce the maximum estimation error from 7 cm of the conventional
method to 2 cm.
Index terms: MUSIC algorithm, estimation of source location, direction
of arrival, multiple coherent sources.

Abstract: Radiation generated by electronic equipment inside a
vehicle can interfere with radio reception even though that equipment
is in compliance with FCC standards. The result of that interference
is an undesired reduction in radio coverage at frequencies where
the interference exists. The objective of this paper is to present
an approach for measuring electromagnetic interference (EMI) generated
by in-vehicle electronic equipment without requiring the measurements
to be made inside a shielded anechoic chamber. Such measurements
are straightforward in a shielded chamber since interfering signals
from external radiation sources does not confound the measurement
process. The contribution of the work presented here is to define
a method for measuring EMI when external radiation is present.
The basic approach is to identify regions in the spectrum where
externally generated signals exist and then to bypass those regions
when measuring interference from in-vehicle equipment. Because
external interference can come from unlicensed as well as licensed
sources, using the FCC database of licensed radiation sources
to identify the regions to bypass will not achieve the desired
goal. Rather, an analysis of the received spectrum is used to
assess the presence of signals. Details regarding measurement
equipment, procedures, accuracy and repeatability are given.
Index terms: EMI measurements, in-vehicle, radio coverage, FCC-compliant,
external EMI.

structure for the generation of a known field, the TEM-horn cell.
The achieved sensor transfer function (amplitude and phase) allows

Discharge radiated fields) through the application of a simple
deconvolution procedure to the sensor output voltage time history.

Abstract: In this paper, an EMC macro-model for a multiple power-supply-pin
LSI was investigated. The model was devised for a microcontroller
operated with three kinds of power-supply groups: Core, I/O, and
Analog circuits. For each power pin and a ground pin associated
with it, the model consisting of a linear equivalent circuit and
an internal current source was derived from measurements. Based
on the model, impedance and current simulations were carried out
for two power/ground pairs core circuits that are electrically
connected to each other. It was verified that the simulated impedance
and current using the proposed model were in good agreement with
measurements up to 500 MHz.

Proceedings of 2004 International Symposium on Electromagnetic

Abstract: In this paper, we proposed a method to realize a highly
localized exposure in young rat heads for a bio-effect test of
electromagnetic exposure from 1.5 GHz mobile telephones. Paying
attention to the ability of electric flux concentration of ferroelectric
material, we wound its flex sheet around the head part of a plastic
rat holder, which is generally used to restrain the rat for obtaining
a fixed exposure level, in order to induce a strong magnetic field
inside the holder. Numerical simulations with an anatomically
based young rat model showed that a ratio of 7 of the average
specific absorption rate (SAR) in the brain to that in the whole
body was realized. An exposure experiment with solid young rat
phantoms also showed the validity of the method.

Abstract: In this work, we propose the use of resistive sheets
to improve the shielding effectiveness of enclosures with apertures.
It is found that a significant reduction of electromagnetic leakage
is possible by using loading techniques inspired by the transmission
line interpretation of current distribution on apertures at the
resonance frequency of the aperture. Results from numerical simulations
as well as from laboratory measurements are presented to validate
the concept presented.
