Evaluating the shielding effectiveness (SE) of physically small enclosures presents a critical challenge in electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). IEEE Standard 299.1 outlines a reverberation chamber (RC) method, which in practice is often implemented with a vector network analyzer (VNA) and calibrated antennas with known efficiency. This letter investigates a simplified two-antenna method in an RC that eliminates the need for antenna efficiency characterization and allows flexible instrumentation, such as using a signal generator and receiver instead of a VNA. For comparison purposes, a VNA is employed in this letter. Measurement results under four shielding conditions using a straight monopole antenna confirm that the proposed method achieves comparable SE performance to the standardized method, with reduced setup complexity, making it suitable for generic EMC laboratories with limited resources.

Mobile communication systems are essential for expanding the operational range of industrial drones. However, electromagnetic (EM) noise from onboard electronics can be a source of intrasystem EM interference (EMI), which may lead to receiver sensitivity degradation. This issue is particularly critical in industrial drones, for which miniaturization and weight constraints limit the application of conventional EMI countermeasures. The impacts of non-Gaussian EMI vary depending on its temporal and spectral structures, and such impacts on various wireless systems have been reported. The degree and nature of impacts are often highly dependent on the specific communication scheme. In this letter, we focus on an intrasystem EMI problem specific to a drone platform, evaluating the effects of frequency-domain characteristics of EMI that are typical of noise generated by onboard drone equipment on long-term evolution (LTE) communication performance. White noise from the power module and clock-driven harmonic noise from the control module were modeled and evaluated using a wireless communication simulator. The results showed that both noise types degrade receiver sensitivity, with clock-driven harmonic noise having stronger impacts when the total in-band power is equal. Since this degradation occurs during downconversion and demodulation, the findings apply beyond the 800-MHz band. These results highlight the importance of considering not only total noise power but also spectral composition in EMI mitigation strategies. The proposed simulation-based EMI analysis can be an efficient approach to evaluating EMI effects in mobile communication systems, particularly during the early design phase of compact and lightweight electronic devices. While the results are specific to the evaluated drone, the proposed simulation-based EMI analysis provides a broadly applicable framework for assessing EMI effects in mobile communication systems.

This letter presents a lightweight current capture device for electrostatic discharge (ESD) testing. The device contains a magnetic field sensor, which is mounted on the tip of the ESD generator. A two-step analog integration is performed to correct the frequency response of the sensor from 1 to 800 MHz, thus ensuring the reliable capture of ESD current. The ESD current waveform is different for different test scenarios. The proposed device can measure the waveform for each discharge scenario. The measured results in the frequency and time domains are presented in this letter.

This letter presents a compact absorptive–transmissive (AT) frequency-selective rasorber (FSR), providing more than 90% absorption of electromagnetic (EM) waves from 3.88 to 8.43 GHz and a good insertion loss at 9.48 GHz. The structure is simple, consisting of a top lossy layer and a bottom frequency-selective surface (FSS) layer, isolated by an air spacer. The design methodology of the proposed structure and its detailed analysis using S-parameters are discussed. The lossy layer consists of four octagonal rings symmetrically placed at corners and connected through a common larger-sized central octagonal ring of copper with resistors. The FSS layer consists of a single dielectric octagonal ring cut over uniform copper. Based on the equivalent circuit model, the EM characteristics of FSR are presented. The effect of resistance and the height of substrate on the EM performance of the rasorber are analyzed. Finally, the rasorber is fabricated and measured to experimentally validate the performance of the proposed design.
