As with most other EMC standards, standards for the avoidance of radio frequency ignition hazards, such as BS6656 [1], have an apparently-deterministic set of go/no-go thresholds to assess whether a hazard is present in a given circumstance. These standards are in fact based on intuitive consensus judgements by members of a committee which discriminate between concatenated sets of circumstances...

The C-Band All-Sky Survey is a project to map the full sky in total intensity and linear polarization at 5 GHz. The northern component of the survey uses a broad-band singlefrequency analogue receiver fitted to a 6.1-m telescope at the Owens Valley Radio Observatory in California, USA. The receiver architecture combines a continuous-comparison radiometer and a correlation polarimeter in a singl...

We describe the steps involved in performing searches for sources of transient radio emission such as Rotating Radio Transients (RRATs), and present 10 new transient radio sources discovered in a re-analysis of the Parkes Multi-beam Pulsar Survey. Followup observations of each new source as well as one previously known source are also presented. The new sources suggest that the population of tr...

AIM To compare 5-year survival of patients with a single hepatocellular carcinoma≤3 cm randomly assigned to receive percutaneous ethanol injection or radiofrequency ablation. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 285 patients (192 males, mean age 70 years), with a single hepatocellular carcinoma (mean diameter 2.2 cm) were randomly assigned to receive percutaneous ethanol injection (n=143) or radio...

background: the health effect of rapidly increasing everyday exposure of humans to radiofrequency radiation is a major global concern. mobile phone jammers prevent the mobile phones from receiving signals from base stations by interfering with authorized mobile carriers’ services. in spite of the fact that mobile jammer use is illegal, they are occasionally used in offices, shrines, conference ...

Cognitive radio is the restorative technology to authorize the efficient usage of restricted natural resource radio frequency spectrum for the wireless devices. The technology empowers the telecommunication industry by renovating the traditional static spectrum access approach to dynamic spectrum access to stimulate the unlicensed users to access underutilized licensed band; without creating an...

This guide applies to all types of static power converters used in industrial and commercial power systems. The problems involved in the harmonic control and reactive compensation of such converters are addressed, and an application guide is provided. Limits of disturbances to the ac power distribution system that affect other equipment and communications are recommended. This guide is not inte...

In order to enhance the reliability of the indoor visible light MIMO wireless communication system and improve the ability of anti-interference between channels of the system, this paper introduces the new model of Space Shift Keying in the radio frequency communication into the visible light MIMO communication. The simulation analysis shows, the MIMO system of SSK has almost similar performanc...

We use a flux-biased radio frequency superconducting quantum interference device (rf SQUID) with an embedded flux-biased direct current SQUID to generate strong resonant and nonresonant tunable interactions between a phase qubit and a lumped-element resonator. The rf SQUID creates a tunable magnetic susceptibility between the qubit and resonator providing resonant coupling strengths from zero t...

RFI (radio frequency interference) is a possible threat to coming spaceborne L-band radiometer missions. Ground based and airborne campaigns report some level of interference that must be detected and possibly mitigated. Methods to do so are discussed and demonstrated.
