EMC Modelling of Radar Signal Susceptibility of Cardiac Pacemakers
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Cardiac pacemakers are vital for many persons sufferering from heart diseases, and a malfunction of those devices can have severe consequences for their wearers. Yet, in a signal environment evermore complex, the influence of external signals interfering with the normal operation of a pacemaker is getting stronger. We present an nonlinear analytical model of a pacemaker and use it to investigte the influences of external signals on the operation. The model is able to calculate critical input voltage levels for all kinds of periodic input signals.

Multipath Propagation of UWB Through-Wall Radar and EMC Phenomena
The UWB (ultra wide band) radar output signals can be substantially affected due to electromagnetic wave propagation through obstacles (such as walls) and multipath effects, too. Multipath effects are analyzed and simulated numerically for various cases with several antenna heights and distances. Delays (due to propagation through walls and various paths of direct and reflected rays) and the ri...
متن کاملErosive Pressure Dermatitis Associated with Cardiac Pacemaker
Erosive dermatitis is a skin reaction associated with implantable cardiac devices (ie, pacemakers and cardioverter defibrillators). We report a 65-year-old man with a history of several cerebrovascular attacks who developed an erythematous crusted erosive patch over the pacemaker site after implantation of two subsequent pacemakers. We suggest that physical irritation may be a trigger factor fo...

متن کاملRadar Signal Detection in K-distributed Clutter by Pade Approximation
In this paper, two suboptimum detectors are proposed for coherent radar signal detection in K-distributed clutter. Assuming certain values for several initial moments of clutter amplitude, the characteristic function of the clutter amplitude is approximated by a limited series. Using the Pade approximation, it is then converted to a rational fraction. Thus, the pdf of the clutter amplitude is o...
