Recently, as the WHO IARC has classified radio frequency electromagnetic fields as possibly carcinogenic (group 2B) to humans, there is increasing concern about the health effects of overexposure from electromagnetic fields. Especially, the workers are exposed to higher level of electromagnetic radiation than the general public. As a result, in Europe, the protection guidelines for the worker are developed and the exposure of the worker is strictly controlled. In this paper, the EU directive, standards and guidelines of the EMF exposure for the worker were reviewed, and the exposure assessment of EMF was performed for the arc welding. Based on that, we propose a way to introduce a national policy to protect the workers from EMF exposure in working environment.

본 논문에서는 임펄스 잡음과 다중경로 레일리 페이딩이 함께 존재하는 최악의 채널 환경에서 비동기 DS/CDMA BPSK 시스템의 오율식을 유도하고 수치계산 하여 BER 성능을 분석하였다. 그 결과, 비교적 낮은 신호 대 잡음 전력비 영역에서 시스템의 BER 성능은 임펄스 잡음의 영향으로 크게 열화되지만 페이딩의 영향은 거의 없다. 그러나, 임펄스 잡음의 영향이 작아지는 높은 신호 대 잡음 전력비에서는 페이딩에 의해서 BER 성능이 결정된다. 다중사용자의 간섭도 낮은 신호 대 잡음 전력비 영역에서는 BER 성능에 거의 영향을 미치지 못하지만 높은 신호 대 잡음 전력비 영역에서는 BER 성능을 좌우한다 그러나, 실제 이동통신 시스템에서는 비교적 낮은 신호 전력을 사용하므로, 임펄스 환경에서 페이딩을 경감하기 위한 방법이나, 다중사용자 간섭을 줄이기 위한 기법을 적용하더라도 성능 개선이 거의 되지 않는다.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the performance of M-ary PSK communication system according to the types of electromagnetic interference in an impulsive noise environment. We have introduced Gaussian, sinusoidal and rectangular waves as a electromagnetic interference. Using the derived equations, we evaluated the error performance of the BPSK and QPSK system in the presence of electromagnetic interference and impulsive noise. From results, we have obtained that the Gaussian wave produced the most significant performance degradation and that sinusoidal wave produced more performance degradation than rectangular wave. Therefore, without knowing the types of electromagnetic interference, it is best to regard it as Gaussian wave when designing a communication system. In addition, we could found out that the error performance degrades as impulsive noise becomes strong and the error performance can not be improved significantly even the electromagnetic interference becomes weak. Therefore, this describes that the impulsive noise affects dominantly to the performance degradation.

The denser and higher speed telecommunication systems get, the more electromagnetic waves and more heat they throw off. With power predictions lastly for the upcoming systems, they need the enforced method to optimize the technologies between shielding effectiveness and cooling characteristics. In the present study, the shielding effectiveness and cooling characteristics for en- closures with multiapertures considered as fundamental solution in telecommunication systems are performed both of experimentally and unmerically. The shielding effectiveness measured from ex- perimental work is compared with both of the analytical data for flat plates with multi-apertures and the cooling characteristics by the numerical solution. As results, the most significant influence on the shielding effectiveness of enclosures is determined by the porosities of apertures, and it is found that shielding effectiveness and cooling capabilities are significant varied, reciprocally,at which porosity is more than 80%.

This paper presents the reduction characteristics of electromagnetic penetration through a slit in conducting screen by loaded plate. The FDTD method is used in theoretical analysis. And the characteristics of penetrated electric fields are calculated in terms of length, width, shape, position, and height of the loaded plate to find out how the geometry of plate influences the reduction characteristics of the electromagnetic penetration and shielding effectiveness. The results show that the characteristics of penetrated electric field and shielding effectiveness depend on the geometry of loaded plate. In particular, the optimal geometry of loaded plate which minimize penetrated electric field are verified.

In this paper, a computational method of an action potential including the effect of extremely low frequency and mobile phone (external) electromagnetic fields is Proposed. The method is based on the Hodgkin and Huxley model, applies the effect of the electromagnetic fields on the action Potential in terms of a binding factor into the injection current of the model, and calculates the Strength-Duration curve from numerical experiments for a frequency range of electromagnetic fields. In the numerical experiments, the coupled ordinary differential equations of the action potential and the state variables are solved solf-consistently by using Runge-Kutta Fehlberg method. The range of the frequency considered is from 1Hz through 100Hz and of 900MHz, which is specific for a mobile Phone. The Strength-Duration curves resulted showed good agreements with the equation suggested by Hodgkin and Huxley.

This paper addresses EMC test results for the EQM Communications & Broadcasting Satellite(CBS) Ka-band Payload System. The aim of the EMC test is to verify that the payload system has no effect on the other system and is not affected by the external field. The compliance of EMC system requirements was verified by the analysis and measurement of the emission level from the payload system. The variation of performance by noise injection was measured to inspect the susceptibility of the payload system. The analysis and test results also showed that the electromagnetic interference has no serious effect on the overall payload system performance. It is confirmed that the EQM CBS Ka-band payload system can be operable in the space environment from the EMC performance's viewpoint. It is also obtained that better performance can be acquired by improving waveguide design and integration method.
