Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Electromagnetic (EM) emissions from integrated circuits, transmission lines, and cables of electronic devices (EDs) may interfere with other EDs and with elements of the same system, which can cause noncompliance of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and disturbance of signal integrity in electronic product design. The future challenges in the EMC of EDs are driven by the increasing bandwidth and decreasing transient times of EM fields and signals, as well as the continued miniaturization of the components.

Topics of primary interest include but are not limited to:

  • Near-field measurements of spurious emissions from the printed circuit boards and cables of electronic devices;
  • Statistical processing of the registered data in time-frequency domains using cyclostationary properties;
  • Localization and identification of noise sources on the surface of the PCB and inside the enclosure of the electronic device;
  • Prediction of the emitted electromagnetic interference propagation in the environment of the ED;
  • The influence of emissions on inter-system and intra-system EMC, in particular on the beat error rate (BER) of the communication links.

Control of EMI in High-Technology Nano Fab by Exploitation Power Transmission Method with Ideal Permutation

There are many high-power electrical cables around and within semiconductor foundries. These cables are the source of extremely low-frequency (ELF < 300 Hz) magnetic fields that affect the tools which operate by the function of electronic beams. Miss operation (MO) happens because the ELF magnetic fields induce beam shift during the measurement or process for cutting-edge chips below 40 nm. We present the optimal permutation of power transmission lines to reduce electromagnetic influence in high-technology nano fabs. In this study, the magnetic field was reduced using a mirror array power cable system, and simulation results predicted the best permutations to decrease the electromagnetic interference (EMI) value to below 0.4 mG in a working space without any shielding. Furthermore, this innovative method will lower the cost of high-technology nano fabs, especially for the 28 nm process. The motivation behind this paper is to find the ideal permutation of power transmission lines with a three-phase, four-cable framework to decrease the EMI in high-technology nano fabs. In this study, the electromagnetic interference was diminished using the ideal-permutation methodology without investing or using additional energy, labor, or apparatus. Moreover, this advanced methodology will help increase the effectiveness and reduce the costs of nano fabs. The mathematical and experimental results of the study are presented with analysis.

This paper proposes a cyclostationary based approach to power analysis carried out for electric circuits under arbitrary periodic excitation. Instantaneous power is considered to be a particular case of the two-dimensional cross correlation function (CCF) of the voltage across, and current through, an element in the electric circuit. The cyclostationary notation is used for deriving the frequency domain counterpart of CCF—voltage–current cross spectrum correlation function (CSCF). Not only does the latter exhibit the complete representation of voltage–current interaction in the element, but it can be systematically exploited for evaluating all commonly used power measures, including instantaneous power, in the form of Fourier series expansion. Simulation examples, which are given for the parallel resonant circuit excited by the periodic currents expressed as a finite sum of sinusoids and periodic train of pulses with distorted edges, numerically illustrate the components of voltage–current CSCF and the characteristics derived from it. In addition, the generalization of Tellegen’s theorem, suggested in the paper, leads to the immediate formulation of the power conservation law for each CSCF component separately. Full article

This article investigates the influence of random microwave discontinuities on the characteristics of long transmission paths. This is most important for dynamic measuring stands, accompanied by multiple space movement of long transmission paths with their bending or twisting during the measurement process. In modern active electronically scanned arrays this issue also becomes relevant, due to increased requirements for the accuracy of beam shaping. The aim of this study is to develop a theoretical background and perform experimental verification for taking into account the effect of random microwave discontinuities on the transmission path characteristics. A method for correcting the effect of such irregularities is considered based on electrical length control by measuring the input reflection coefficient. Relations for the magnitude and phase of the path’s input reflection coefficient depending on the S-parameters of a long four-terminal network terminated with mismatched load are obtained and plotted. Using theory of sensitivity, the mathematical expressions of conditions were obtained to achieve maximum accuracy of measuring the electrical length of a long microwave path. The possibility of dynamic error correction in antenna measurements with a long test path caused by random microwave irregularities along it has been experimentally proved. Full article

The theoretical and experimental evaluation of the cyclostationary random data transferring process corrupted by the individually and jointly cyclostationary crosstalk interference is presented. The interference and the message signals were measured by the real time digital oscilloscope. Autocorrelation functions were evaluated by synchronous cyclic averaging procedure. The analyzed periodic two-dimensional impulse response of the time-varying filter allows to obtain the output random process with the same cyclic frequency at the output of the filter by separation of orthogonal stationary waveforms constituting the input cyclostationary random process (CSRP). The filtering of the measured random process was implemented by the cyclic Wiener filter. The evaluation of the two-dimensional autocorrelation function and eye diagrams at the output of the cyclic Wiener filter showed significant reduction of the independent interference components in the estimated message signal.
