This letter examines the current-sharing behavior of a single-cell lithium iron phosphate (${mathrm { LiFePO}}_{4}$ ) battery connected in parallel with a zinc-aluminum varistor, aimed at protecting against fast-front impulse currents. Through experimental data analysis and ATP-EMTP simulations, the study explores the transient behavior of the protective varistor stack and the cylindrical ${mathrm { LiFePO}}_{4}$ battery under surge events. Key factors considered include the determination of charge transferred to both the varistor and the battery as well as the voltage across their terminals. The findings highlight the challenges associated with surge protection against fast-front transients that threaten the reliability and lifespan of modern energy storage systems, particularly in safeguarding against lightning strikes and electromagnetic pulses.

To reduce the electromagnetic interference (EMI) effects in a highly integrated vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication system, a harmonic-suppressed multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) antenna is proposed in the dedicated short-range communication (DSRC) band of the 5.85–5.925-GHz range. The unit element of the MIMO is a circular patch antenna fed in a gap-coupled manner via a pair of $lambda $ g/4 resonators. Widely used polarization diversity and defected ground structure (DGS) concepts are used for a 4-port antenna system to have improved isolation between individual antennas and hence better MIMO performance in addition to the unique harmonic suppression property. As the number of V2X-compliant vehicles on the road continues to increase, the proposed MIMO antenna is expected to help mitigate EMI in heavy traffic areas with numerous IoT devices.

Complying with the harmonized standards, that is, the principally applied rule-based electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) approach, does not always ensure EMC in practice. It is also just a presumption of conformity with the Essential Requirements, as stated in the European Directive for EMC. There is a need for a robust and durable methodology that accounts for factors which are not covered by current EMC standards: the risk-based EMC approach. The term “risk-based EMC” along with the associated terminology is commonly interpreted differently by manufacturers, technicians, and users. This letter clarifies this often misused terminology. First, a comparison between the so-far implemented rule-based EMC approach and the up-and-coming risk-based EMC approach is made. Then, the application of risk-based EMC via a risk management-based methodology is proposed. The goal of this research is to provide an overview on the need of risk-based EMC, list the so-far used (or misused) terminology, and create a common platform of risk management-based methodology, which will act as a guidance tool for EMC engineers when it comes to clear and consistent communication and application of EMC engineering.

This letter presents a study on the limitations of Gaussian mixture models (GMMs) for symbol detection in digital communication systems. Although GMMs have proven to be adequate for symbol detection at medium signal-to-interference ratios, the results of this study reveal a critical flaw in the conventional assumption that Gaussian models can accurately represent the received symbol distributions under all circumstances in harsh environments. This statistical approach proves to be inadequate at high levels of electromagnetic (EM) interference, resulting in an inability to accurately differentiate between symbols. The methodology is tested in a triple modular redundant system subjected to reverberant EM disturbances, with diverse PAM-4 as an encoding technique.
