It is accepted that the electromagnetic interference should be addressed with statistical analysis. Usually the impact of electromagnetic interference on different electronic samples is evaluated and the average immunity level is used as a reference. However, this method does not provide enough information to know the probability of failure to the electromagnetic interferences of an electronic ...

This article presents some new experimental data for study the shielding effect of electromagnetic wave. The frequencies of electromagnetic wave are mainly focused on emission of daily electrical equipments, which are normally called “low frequency electromagnetic waves”. In this work, a water pump with maximum magnetic field intensity of ca. 2300 mG was applied as emission source of the electr...

Electromagnetic wave surface velocimeters ESVs measure the Doppler shift in electromagnetic waves reflected from the water surface. They provide nonintrusive water surface velocity measurements from bridges and river banks. Comparisons with laboratory and field tests show very good agreement over a wide range of elevation and planview angles. Laboratory testing shows comparable results between ...

The advent of negative index materials has spawned extensive research into metamaterials over the past decade. Metamaterials are attractive not only for their exotic electromagnetic properties, but also their promise for applications. A particular branch-the metamaterial perfect absorber (MPA)-has garnered interest due to the fact that it can achieve unity absorptivity of electromagnetic waves....

Ball lightning that is a natural phenomenon behaves curiously and moves variously according to a huge amount of eyewitness reports. The ball lightning could be reproduced by an alternative experiment that was the result of a localized spherical plasma object (fireball) caused by microwave interference and discharge inside the cavity. In the experiment, the motion of the plasma fireball was exce...

Directional control of received infrared radiation is demonstrated with a phased-array antenna connected by a coplanar strip transmission line to a metal-oxide-metal (MOM) tunnel diode. We implement a MOM diode to ensure that the measured response originates from the interference of infrared antenna currents at specific locations in the array. The reception angle of the antenna is altered by sh...

This paper reviews the most common sources of electromagnetic interference (EMI) with cochlear implants (CI). Particular attention will be given to the description of the mechanisms of electromagnetic interaction with CI; main disturbances caused to CI; relevant scientific investigations; and existing requirements and tests for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) immunity applicable to CI.
