The establishment of organ banks for long-term storage could become feasible if rapid, uniform electromagnetic thawing of cryopreserved organs can be accomplished. Internal and external temperature measurements of the organ during thawing will be nec essary to provide real-time data on tissue heating rate and distribution. This information will be use ful for both optimization of thawing system design and as an input for system power control. But because conventional measurement techniques which are useful at cryogenic temperatures are not suitable for use with EM thawing systems, several alternative methods for making temperature measurements have been inves tigated. These alternative methods include techniques where temperature probes are implanted in the bio logical tissue and techniques employing non-invasive temperature sensors. From a clinical standpoint, a non-invasive temperature sensor would be the best alternative for measurements in cryopreserved organs. It would minimize introduction of foreign materials into the organ and would also reduce long term costs by eliminating the need to implant separate sensors in each organ. On the other hand, temperature probes can provide localized temperature data which a ■noninvasive measurement technique might not. Also, probes are more nearly feasible in the current measurement technology than are non-invasive techniques. In this paper, the requirements of a cryogenic temperature sensor suitable for use in the presence of an electro magnetic field will be discussed and both non-invasive and probe measurement techniques will be considered.

Many problems in EMC involve structures which are, either exactly or approximately, rotationally sym metric. This property can be used to advantage in a method of moments formulation of a problem, In this paper current and potential capabilities of available body of revolution (BOR) computer codes are described and examples are given. Applications of these codes include radiation and scattering from BORs, coupling through apertures in BORs, and mutual coupling between antennas near a BOR. Also these codes are useful for analyzing bodies that only partially satisfy rotational symmetry. An example is a wire arbitrarily located in the vicinity of a BOR. Another example is coupling through arbitrarily shaped apertures in a BOR.

A computer program for the analysis of random effects in planar arrays is described. The method of moments is applied iteratively in conjunc tion with a random sampling process, to obtain mean far field beam patterns and their expected variation. Block-Toeplitz impedance redundancies and the zeros of the excitation matrix are utilized in a special effi cient solution routine. Separate array analysis at fundamental and harmonic frequencies yields the ex pected ratio of harmonic to fundamental levels. The theory of the computer program is outlined and typical results are presented. Significant gain degradation is predicted at harmonic frequencies.

The microprocessor has developed over the last few years into a computer built on a few low cost chips. This has facilitated the use of firmware techniques in many areas where, previously, computer applications were too expensive. Thus it is finding widespread use in digital instrumentation and signal processing; this paper describes a microprocessor in such an application. While sinusoids have traditionally been used in spectral analysis, the bipolar Walsh functions, which also constitute an orthonormal set, are increasingly coming into use in this field. In evaluating the coefficients of a Walsh series, a Walsh spectral analyser has only to accumulate sampled values of the signal. The multiplications involved in Fourier analysis are eliminated, thus simplifying the hardware and increasing the speed. A digital Walsh spectral analyzer, to generate the first 64 coefficients of a periodic signal, has been designed and built.

An extension of the method of moments (MM) technique predicting the radiation characteristics of extended HF and VHF off-surface radiators on aircraft, is presented. In this analysis, the aircraft fuselage is approximated as a body of revolution. Protruding appendages on the body (such as rotors on helicopters) are treated as parasitic elements. A computer algorithm implementing this approach is used to calculate the power radiated by helicopters equipped with off-surface radiators. The effects of lossy ground planes in vicinity of the aircraft are considered and compared with published range data.

Graphite and boron epoxy composite aircraft structures are vul nerable to lightning strike damage if not properly designed. Conven tional lightning protection design concepts need to be modified by placing special emphasis on light weight, low cost, and ease o f mainte nance aspects o f the design. This paper introduces two new design concepts: (1) the isolation concept — the complete isolation of advanced composite structure from lightning current paths and (2) the conductive concept — the use o f graphite composite structure to safely conduct lightning currents. Through the proper use o f these and other design concepts developed by the industry, advanced com posite aircraft structures can be adequately protected from lightning hazard. Laboratory simulated lightning test data supporting these two design concepts are presented. The applications o f these design con cepts including the DC-10 composite rudder design are also discussed.

Missies in flight are often immersed in an elec tromagnetic environment. Whether desirable or not, this EMC situation may cause undue influences on per formance of on-board subsystems. To measure these effects, it invariably becomes necessary to experimen tally test real-life systems on an antenna range. To cover all threats, large frequency bands as well as high field intensities are needed. Thus the use of near-zone transmitting antennas are often required. The simulation validity of such a test arrangement is a cause for concern, since in flight, the missile experiences plane wave incidence. Are there then significant differences in system response when caused by the near-zone source fields compared to plane wave fields? More importantly, how far away does the source have to be to achieve valid simulation? Since the cost of the test facility depends directly on the power needed, which in turn depend on the separation distance, the answers to these questions are therefore of cri tical concern.
