Statistical properties of electromagnetic environment in wireless networks affecting its intranetwork electromagnetic compatibility and safety are studied. The analysis is based on the standard propagation channel model, a Poisson model of random spatial distribution of transmitters, and a thresholdbased model of the victim receptor behaviour (radio receiver or human body). The distribution of ...

This paper deals with the modeling of integrated circuits for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) analysis. With reference to complex integrated circuits that usually include huge core logic blocks, analog and mixed signal circuits as well as power sections (smart-power system-on-chip), the paper shows a new behavioral model whose parameters can be derived on the basis of scattering parameters ...

This work presents the analysis of radiated EMI problems associated with DC-DC buck converters and the solutions for minimize the reverse recovery of the Drain-Bulk diode of the synchronous switching MOSFET. The DC-DC buck converter topology is used in computers and telecom applications because of its high power efficiency and multiple DC levels. For reducing the reverse recovery and its relate...

Dynamic current activity extraction plays a very important role in estimating the electromagnetic compatibility of integrated circuits. For that purpose, the Integrated Circuit Electromagnetic Model (ICEM) is being developped by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). This article introduces a mixed-mode simulation methodology, based on the VHDL-AMS language, which dramatically red...

RFID is a promising technology in the healthcare area in order to improve patient safety and increase efficiency and reduce costs in the daily healthcare work. This paper analyzes the available literature regarding both interference of RFID systems in medical equipment and the interferences of medical equipment on RFID systems. The conclusion of this analysis is that is necessary to develop sta...

A nonlinear detector simulation technique that can be used together with the discrete technique for a rapid radio receiver electromagnetic compatibility and electromagnetic interference (EMC/EMI) simulation up to the baseband signal processing path at the system level is proposed. The technique presented allows one to simulate an amplitude modulation (AM) detector in the large signal mode as we...

Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is defined as the capability of equipment or system to function satisfactorily in its electromagnetic environment without introducing intolerable disturbances anything that same [1]. EMC regulatory requirements for instrumentation and control (I&C) were not developed effect until last few years. Therefore, there a considerable number plant has been qualif...
