The increases of operating frequency of electronic systems, electromagnetic interference (EMI) effect becomes a serious problem, especially in consumer electronics, microprocessor based systems, and data transmission circuits. Many approaches have been proposed to reduce EMI, such as shielding box, skew-rate control, and spread spectrum clock generator (SSCG). However, the SSCG has lower hardwa...

This paper presents a modeling of Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) for conducted noise reduction in Switching Power Converters (SPC) using Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) based controller. Buck boost Flyback converter is the preferred choice among variety of switching power converters due to its low component count, cost-effective structure as well as its large dynamic range. Converters should...

We propose a new similarity measure for iconic medical image registration, an Edgeworth-based third order approximation of Mutual Information (MI) and named 3-EMI. Contrary to classical Edgeworth-based MI approximations, such as those proposed for independent component analysis, the 3-EMI measure is able to deal with potentially correlated variables. The performance of 3-EMI is then evaluated a...

We propose a hybrid scattering parameter matrix for concurrent on & off – board EMI analysis of mixed RF-Digital Circuits. To start with, we first consider on–board EMI effects on digital circuits, particularly on an inverter to show the vulnerability of digital devices to RF interference and investigate both system and device level upsets due to adjacent EMI sources on Printed Circuit Boards (...

The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of training using internal imagery (IMI; also known as kinesthetic imagery or first person imagery) with that of external imagery (EMI; also known as third-person visual imagery) of strong muscle contractions on voluntary muscle strengthening. Eighteen young, healthy subjects were randomly assigned to one of three groups (6 in each group): int...

Testing electronic equipment for radiated emissions requires the accurate calibration of EMI sensor. The performance of the sensor depends on its Antenna Factor (AF), which is the ratio of the incident electric field on the antenna surface to the received voltage at the load end across 50 Ω resistance. The theoretical prediction of the AF of EMI sensors is a very attractive alternative if one t...

Main challenges in EMC/EMI modeling and simulation for modern and future wireless communication networks are addressed in this paper. It is emphasized that there exists a big difference between simulating analog and digital systems. A computationally-efficient approach for EMC/EMI analysis of wireless networks by behavioural -level numerical simulation is proposed.

added value of the methodology in terms of area, power, speed, electromagnetic interference (EMI), noise immunity, and so on; tradeoffs, which design parameters often worsen to achieve added values, such as speed versus power, and area versus EMI; and the cost of switching to the new methodology, including training time, development of new libraries, and time spent dealing with CAD tool immatur...

While more and universities in traditionally non-Anglophone countries are moving towards English medium instruction (EMI), those of the nominally Anglophone postcolonial world carrying on with business as usual. Higher education many has typically only ever been available through language former colonisers, so institutions British colonies now find themselves ahead global trend. This paper cons...
