The bulk current injection (BCI) and direct power injection (DPI) method have been established as the standards for the electromagnetic susceptibility (EMS) test. Because the BCI test uses a probe to inject magnetically coupled electromagnetic (EM) noise, there is a significant difference between the power supplied by the radio frequency (RF) generator and that transferred to the integrated circuit (IC). Thus, the immunity estimated by the forward power cannot show the susceptibility of the IC itself. This paper derives the real injected power at the failure point of the IC using the power transfer efficiency of the BCI method. We propose and mathematically derive the power transfer efficiency based on equivalent circuit models representing the BCI test setup. The BCI test is performed on I/O buffers with and without decoupling capacitors, and their immunities are evaluated based on the traditional forward power and the real injected power proposed in this work. The real injected power shows the actual noise power level that the IC can tolerate. Using the real injected power as an indicator for the EMS test, we show that the on-chip decoupling capacitor enhances the EM noise immunity.

전자장치의 복잡도 증가와 전원 전압 감소 추세에 따라, 내부 또는 외부에서 발생되는 노이즈에 대한 칩 또는 모듈의 전자기 내성 평가는 필수적이다. 칩 레벨 EMS 표준 시험방법으로 IEC 62132-4의 Direct Power Injection(DPI) 방법이 있지만, 실제 칩 내성은 모듈 상 보드 PDN 구조에 영향 받는다. 이 논문에서는 PLL의 내성을 평가하고 보드의 PDN 구조에 따른 잡음 전달 특성을 비교하였다. 여러 PDN을 만들기 위해 다양한 값의 커패시터들과 LDO 사용 유무 조건이 적용되었다. IC의 전자기 요구사항과 IC 및 보드로 구성된 모듈의 전자기 요구사항 간 불일치를 평가하기 위해, PDN들에 따른 노이즈 전달 특성을 분석하는 것은 강건한 EM 특성을 갖도록 설계하는데 중요한 정보를 줄 수 있음을 보였다. DPI 측정 결과는 LDO 사용에 따라 PLL 저주파 영역의 내성이 크게 개선되었음을 보여주며, DPI에 따른 PLL의 주파수 변화를 TEM cell 스펙트럼 측정으로도 확인 할 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 자기공진방식 무선전력전송 표준인 A4WP (alliance for wireless power) 주파수 6.78 MHz에서, 1 m 거리 무선전력전송 안테나를 최적화하고 이에 따른 시뮬레이션 및 측정 결과를 비교하였다. 전력전송 거리는 시스템 형태, 안테나의 크기, 공진기내 코일과 코일사이 간격인 피치(pitch) 등 다양한 요인에 따라 영향을 받으며, 전자계 시뮬레이션을 통해 이를 확인하였다. 시뮬레이션을 통해 고정된 거리에 대하여 최적화된 무선전력전송 안테나를 설계하였으며, 거리에 따른 전송손실인 ${\mid}S_{21}{\mid}$ 값을 계산하였다. 설계된 안테나를 제작하여 측정치를 시뮬레이션 값과 비교한 결과, 최대 1.3 m 거리에서 시뮬레이션은 전송손실 1.6dB 및 효율 69 %, 측정결과는 전송손실 1.5dB 및 효율 70 %를 나타내었다.

Radionuclides were deposited at forest areas in eastern parts of Japan following the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant incident in March 2011. Ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi have important effects on radiocaesium dynamics in forest ecosystems. We examined the effect of colonization by the EM fungus Astraeus hygrometricus on the uptake of cesium (Cs) and potassium (K) by Pinus densiflora seedlings. Pine seedlings exhibited enhanced growth after the EM formation due to the colonization by A. hygrometricus. Additionally, the shoot Cs concentration increased after the EM formation when Cs was not added to the medium. This suggests that A. hygrometricus might be able to solubilize Cs fixed to soil particles. Moreover, the shoot K concentration increased significantly after the EM formation when Cs was added. However, there were no significant differences in the root K concentration between EM and non-EM seedlings. These results suggest that different mechanisms control the transfer of Cs and K from the root to the shoot of pine seedlings.

Wireless power transfer (WPT) efficiencies for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems are formulated with a goal of achieving their maximums using Z matrices. The maximum efficiencies for any arbitrarily given configurations are obtained using optimum loads, which can be determined numerically through adequate optimization procedures in general. For some simpler special cases (single-input single-output, single-input multiple-output, and multiple-input single-output) of the MIMO systems, the efficiencies and optimum loads to maximize them can be obtained using closed-form expressions. These closed-form solutions give us more physical insight into the given WPT problem. These efficiencies are evaluated theoretically based on the presented formulation and also verified with comparisons with circuit- and EM-simulation results. They are shown to lead to a good agreement. This work may be useful for construction of the wireless Internet of Things, especially employed with energy autonomy.

In this paper, we implemented and analyzed a wireless power transfer (WPT) system with a CSPR topology. CSPR refers to constant current source, series resonance circuit topology of a transmitting coil, parallel resonance circuit topology of a receiving coil, and pure resistive loading. The transmitting coil is coupled by a magnetic field to the receiving coil without wire. Although the electromotive force (emf) is small (about 4.5V), the voltage on load resistor is 148V, because a parallel resonance scheme was adopted for the receiving coil. The implemented WPT system is designed to be able to transfer up to 1 kW power and can operate a LED TV. Before the implementation, the EMF reduction mechanism based on the use of ferrite and a metal shield box was confirmed by an EM simulation and we found that the EMF can be suppressed dramatically by using this shield. The operating frequency of the implemented WPT system is 30.7kHz and the air gap between two coils is 150mm. The power transferred to the load resistor is 147W and the real power transfer efficiency is 66.4 %.

We designed an antenna structure with the circular polarization metamaterial superstrate which increases the directivity of the primary antenna as a lens. The metamaterial superstrate removes the necessity of the array antenna and complicated feed. Plus, it provides the Fabry-perot cavity with the circular polarization. With regard to the primary antenna, a CRLH antenna is adopted to have the size-reduction from the conventional half-wavelength patch antenna.

The temperature distribution of an electromagnetic pump was analyzed with a flow rate of 1380 L/min and a pressure of 4 bar designed for the sodium thermo-hydraulic test in the Sodium Test Loop for Safety Simulation and Assessment-Phase 1 (STELLA-1). The electromagnetic pump was used for the circulation of the liquid sodium coolant in the Intermediate Heat Transport System (IHTS) of the Prototype Gen-IV Sodium-cooled Fast Reactor (PGSFR) with an electric power of 150 MWe. The temperature distribution of the components of the electromagnetic pump was numerically analyzed to prevent functional degradation in the high temperature environment during pump operation. The heat transfer was numerically calculated using ANSYS Fluent for prediction of the temperature distribution in the excited coils, the electromagnet core, and the liquid sodium flow channel of the electromagnetic pump. The temperature distribution of operating electromagnetic pump was compared with cooling of natural and forced air circulation. The temperature in the coil, the core and the flow gap in the two conditions, natural circulation and forced circulation, were compared. The electromagnetic pump with cooling of forced circulation had better efficiency than natural circulation even considering consumption of the input power for the air blower. Accordingly, this study judged that forced cooling is good for both maintenance and efficiency of the electromagnetic pump.

This paper analyzes the effects of metamaterial slabs with negative permeability when applied to a two-loop wireless power transmission (WPT) system, both in theory and electromagnetic (EM) simulations. The analysis of magnetic flux focusing provided here assumes quasi-magnetostatics or magnetostatics. The slab structures with negative permeability have been realized using the periodically arrayed ring resonators (RRs) at 13.36MHz. Some examples with ideal lossless slabs of -1, -2, and -3 showed a great enhancement of WPT efficiencies when compared with the free space cases. However, practical lossy slabs made of planar copper RRs did not show significant enhancement of WPT efficiencies due to the relatively high losses in the ring resonator (or in the slab consisting of RRs) near the resonant frequency.
