Electromagnetic Compatibility Analysis of High-Power Pulse Drive Source

Due to the widespread application in recent years, high-power pulse sources have received special attention from large companies and R & D institutions around the world. Compared with foreign mid-range and high-end products, China’s development in this field is relatively lagging behind and lacks mature mid-range and high-end products. The reason is not only because of lack of theoretical support, but more importantly, in the pursuit of indicators and design, the electromagnetic compatibility of the equipment has not been studied thoroughly, resulting in a large degree of distortion in the output waveform, resulting in a reduction in actual value. This paper introduces the sources of high-power pulsed electromagnetic interference of the main driving source, conducts a reasonable high-power electromagnetic compatibility driving source dynamic analysis, and proposes measures to improve electromagnetic compatibility.

Study of Electromagnetic Compatibility in Hospital Environments

This paper presents a study on the effects of radiation from electronic equipment in hospitals. This study was performed in Argentinean, Colombian and Spanish hospitals. The work consists of two parts: a survey to determine the hospital personnel’s knowledge of the problem and a technical part consisting of a measurements campaign to determine the levels of radiated electrical and magnetic fields in several hospitals due to the presence of electromagnetic interferences, such as the use of mobile phones. The study of this problem has been of special interest in countries such as the USA and Canada, and this paper attempts to convey the necessity of creating regulations that can be applied to the hospitals of the countries analyzed. More than fifty hospitals were studied in these three countries, considering the following aspects: the hospital personnel’s awareness of the problem, whether the hospitals have performed previous studies of this type, the appearance of problems in medical equipment due to this interference, the origin of the interference, and the failures that have appeared in computers due to electromagnetic interference. The results show that, most hospitals have a lack of knowledge regarding this issue and that field levels above those allowed by international regulations are present. Therefore, a regulation must be established to avoid the problem.

Analysis and Simulation of the Influence of Electromagnetic Fields on Living Beings near HV Power Lines Using the FDTD Method

Recent decades have seen rapid advances in the field of electrical engineering, such that our environment has become a sea of electrical and magnetic signals, raising questions about the possible effects of low-frequency electromagnetic fields on the environment and which are capable of modifying and destroying our ecosystem. Particular interest was given in this article due to a massive influx of population living near high voltage lines. The analysis and simulation of the influence of low frequency electromagnetic fields on living beings in the vicinity of high voltage sources 132 kV and 220 kV in urban areas in DR Congo is the subject of our research with a view to estimating the level of exposure of humans to low frequency electromagnetic fields. To carry out our research, we used the classic method of analyzing the field produced near a high voltage line based on Maxwell’s image theory, the Maxwell-Gauss theorem and Maxwell-Ampère theorem to model and quantify low-frequency electromagnetic fields in the vicinity of high-voltage lines. The 2D FDTD numerical formulation was developed from telegraphers’ equations and allowed us to obtain models of current and voltage induced by electromagnetic fields on living beings below and near HV lines. The different simulations carried out on the proposed models illustrate the effects of the electrical and geometric parameters of the pylons on the distribution of the electromagnetic field in the vicinity of the HV lines. The results obtained were compared to the safety limits recommended by the standards.

Research on electromagnetic relay's dynamic characteristics disturbed by uniform static magnetic field

Electromagnetic relay is a widely used apparatus which usually works in a magnetic disturbance environment. To evaluate its electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) in a static magnetic field, dynamic characteristics of a clapper relay in a uniform static magnetic field situation based on the finite element method (FEM) is studied. Influences of the magnetic field on dynamic parameters (delay time, pick-up time, end pressure, and final velocity) as well as a situation in which the relay cannot function normally are analyzed. Simulation reveals that the external magnetic field which weakens the relay’s air-gap field has a greater influence on the relay’s dynamic parameters than the one strengthening the field. The validity of the simulation is verified by measured results of coil current and armature displacement.

Design and Modeling of Electromagnetic Impedance Surfaces to Reduce Coupling between Antennas

We study the coupling problem of two waveguide antennas using the design of a two-dimensional inhomogeneous impedance structure with a fixed reflected field. Since this structure enables electromagnetic compatibility between antennas located on a plane, the behaviors of the electromagnetic field along the impedance structure are investigated. The method of moments is used to solve the integral equations and the numerical results are presented and analyzed. To reduce coupling between antennas, we need to take into account both the amplitude distribution of the field along the structure and in the openings of the antennas. In addition, while designing the structure, it is necessary to control the coefficient of decoupling.

Simulation and Modeling of Common Mode EMI Noise in Planar Transformers

The transformer is the key circuit component of the common-mode noise current when an isolated converter is working.The highfrequency characteristics of the transformer have an important influence on the common-mode noise of the converter.Traditionally,the measurement method is used for transformer modeling,and a single lumped device is used to establish the transformer model,which cannot be predicted in the transformer design stage.Based on the transformer common-mode noise transmission mechanism,this paper derives the transformer common-mode equivalent capacitance under ideal conditions.According to the principle of experimental measurement of the network analyzer,the electromagnetic field finite element simulation software three-dimensional(3D)modeling and simulation method is used to obtain the two-port parameters of the transformer,extract the high-frequency parameters of the transformer,and establish its electromagnetic compatibility equivalent circuit model.Finally,an experimental prototype is used to verify the correctness of the model by comparing the experimental measurement results with the simulation prediction results.

System-Level EMC Assessment for Military Vehicular Communication Systems Based on a Modified Four-Level Assessment Model

With the development of EMC technology, EMC assessment has become increasingly important in EMC design. Although numerous EMC assessment models are available today, few of them can provide a tradeoff between efficiency and accuracy for the specific case of military vehicular communication systems. Face to this situation, a modified four-level assessment model is proposed in the paper. First, the development of EMC assessment technology is briefly reviewed, and the theoretical mechanism of EMI environment is introduced. Then, the architecture of the proposed model is outlined, and the assessment methods are explored. To demonstrate the application of it, an example involving a communication system in a military vehicle is presented. From the physical layer to the signal layer, a hierarchical assessment on the entire system is successfully performed based on the proposed model, and we can make a qualitative EMC assessment on the EMC performance of the system. Based on a comparison with the traditional model, we conclude that the proposed model is more accurate, more efficient and less time-consuming, which is suitable for the EMC assessment on militaryvehicular communication systems. We hope that the proposed model will serve as a useful reference for system-level EMC assessments for other systems.
