Spurious EM interactions within and between systems endanger and may disturb their proper functional performance. The prevention, elimination or suppression of such electromagnetic interference (EMI) to a satisfactory level constitutes the engineering discipline– EMC – ElectroMagnetic Compatibility. Its objective is preservation or recovery of expected performance of electronic systems at minim...

The higher frequency transient signals generated as a result of a power system fault or disturbance provide the basis for an alternative approach to power system containing connectors and cables result in unsuitable operation of the system. However one major challenge is the need to ensure that the transients to be neutralized by electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) issues and cabling routes. T...

Sensing intrinsic cardiac electrical activity is essential for the function of pacemakers and implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs). Examples of undesired triggering or inhibition of pacemaker output by extraneous signals were identified early after the introduction of noncompetitive, “demand” pacemakers. Hermetic shielding in metal cases, filtering, and interference rejection circuits...

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) rules the maximum emission levels and minimum immunity requirements for devices at scope to ensure their correct interoperability in a real operational environment [...]

A road map for the long term development of the partial element equivalent circuit (PEEC) method is presented. Emerging areas are pointed out together with a solution strategy. Special attention is given to speed up approaches, mesh generation, and time domain stability. The purpose with the road map is to facilitate a unified development of the method into an electromagnetic modeling method su...

This work is focused on the susceptibility of integrated circuits (ICs) to electromagnetic interference (EMI). The main issue is simulation and measurement on device level and circuit level. The work gives an overview of the overall electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) issues, and shows Direct Power Injection (DPI) measurement technique for conducted electromagnetic interference.

In order to study the electromagnetic compatibility of a power system, authors adopted an effective analysis software and proposed a new prediction method. First, simulated and analyzed the electromagnetic transient when switching the no-load bus in the 500kV substation by the ATP software and proved the simulation results were consistent with the actual results; Second, introduced the Gray pre...

The front-end electronics (FEE) noise characterization to electromagnetic interference and the compatibility of the different subsystems are important topics to consider for the LHC calorimeter upgrades. A new power distribution scheme based on switching power converters is under study and will define a noticeable noise source very close to the detector’s FEE. Knowledge and experience with both...
