FSS are typically periodic media characterized by the capability to inhibit the electromagnetic wave propagation for each angle and each polarization in a specific frequency band. These complex structures present different degree of freedom, that can be used to optimize the performances of the application. On the other hand, the management of different degrees of freedom can result in the complexity increasing of the entire device-design procedure. The aim of this research is to analyse the optimization of FSS by means of MetaPSO, a novel implementation of Particle Swarm Optimization with the aim of a more efficient search over the solution space obtained with a negligible overhead in both complexity and speed.

Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) are versatile, energy efficient when compared to the conventional light sources. LEDs represent a transformational change in how light is produced. However, there are significant differences between conventional lighting sources and LEDs in terms of voltage and current operating requirements which may affect the power quality (PQ) of AC mains supplying the LED bulbs. Therefore, this paper investigates harmonic generations from LED bulbs available in the market. It is done by conducting laboratory tests on various LED lamps and tapping the load current behaviour under different conditions. Then frequency domain analysis is performed to investigate the generated harmonics. Harmonic levels of different wattage, various branded LED bulbs are experimentally evaluated and compared. The results show that most of the LED lamps produce high level of harmonics with reference to the IEC 61000-3-2 standard.

In this paper, a signal integrity aware TSV positioning method (SITP) is introduced. Grounded TSV proved to help eliminating TSV-to-TSV coupling. A trench based 3D IC placement method is developed, transforming 2D placement into 3D placement and perform signal TSV placement with flexible grounded TSV Insertion. IBM placement benchmark is used for original 2D placement. By evaluating wire-length and runtime, SITP automatically achieve high performance 3D IC placement with considerable TSV-TSV interference elimination.

In IEC CISPR 16-4-2 [1, 2] tight impedance requirements are given for artificial mains networks (AMN). Unfortunately, these tight requirements will support measurement uncertainty but still not guarantee low compliance uncertainty if the whole test set-up, up to the port of the equipment being tested, is not taken into account. In this paper the impact of the design of the AMN as well as the mains cable used is evaluated. Incorrect cascading of typical AMN elements: impedance stabilizing network, attenuator(s), high-pass filters and impulse limiter results in erroneous findings which affect measurement uncertainty. Introduction of impedance requirements on the mains cable used enhances the compliance uncertainty by 20 dB, which is demonstrated by simulations and measurements.

Shielding effectiveness and inner resonance of metallic frustum cone-like cabins illuminated by an intentional EMP are studied in this paper, with one coaxial feeding monopole antenna and some parallel slots on the cabin wall also considered. In our numerical simulations, hybrid FDTD method, integrated with surface mesh model, equivalent coaxial feed model, and thin wire model, are all implemented for handling such a complex three-dimensional (3-D) composite structure. Parametric studies are further carried out to show the shielding effectiveness and inner field resonance characteristics of the cabins with different geometries and the incident IEMP with different directions and polarizations.

In this paper, the effect of cylindrical shield to heating area and location of induction heating for breast cancer hyperthermia treatment with hyperthermia inductive heating are presented. To determine heat distribution in the breast, which electric loss density is analyzed for various aperture sizes and radius of shielded cylindrical. It is a technique to control magnetic field intensity and relocate the heating area by using a cylindrical metal shielding with aperture. In the simulation, the inductive applicator is a ferrite core with diameter of 7 cm and excited by 4 MHz signal. The simulations show that the heating area can be effectively controlled by using the cylindrical shield with adjustable aperture size. The heating efficiency is reduced as the aperture size decreases. If the small heating area is needed, it may require longer treatment time. Nevertheless, the efficiency of heat can be increased by varying the radius size of shielding plate. Moreover, we investigate the position of heating region by varying the orientation of the ferrite core in x direction. The effect of horizontal position of the ferrite core to the heating location is also studied. Simulations show that the heating position can be relocated by changing the orientation of the ferrite core with cylindrical shield. The advantage of the magnetic shielding system is that it can be used to applied for prevent the effects of hyperthermia cancer treatment by induction heating.

Today; with both RF and digital devices using the same voltage source on a PCB, power filtering is needed more than ever to isolate the noise between these two types of devices for proper operation. Especially the power/ground planes in packages or boards can be a major factor for noise coupling. Simultaneously switching drivers cause supply voltage fluctuations which can propagate both horizontally and vertically between the power/ground planes. The sensitive RF/analog signals have to be isolated from this digital switching noise, which gets coupled through the shared power distribution system. Hence, accurate estimation and improvement of the performance of power/ground planes is critical in a mixed-signal system. This paper introduces a new methodology to minimize the transfer impedance of the power distribution system. This will be achieved by a new design methodology, which we will call the virtual ground fence. At its basic level, the virtual ground fence consists of quarter-wave transmission-line stubs that act as short circuits between power and ground planes at their design frequency. An array of such stubs can then be considered as a ground fence. Power filtering is currently achieved mainly by using discrete decoupling capacitors at low frequencies. The virtual ground fence design is the distributed analog of this methodology at GHz frequency regime.

This paper shows a novel simulation method for bulk current injection (BCI) tests of I/O buffer circuits of mobile system memory. The simulation model consists of BCI probe, directional coupler, PCB, PKG, and IC. The proposed method is based on a behavioural I/O buffer model using a pulse generator as an input. A detailed simulation flow is introduced and validated through simulations performed on several injection probe loading conditions using a power decoupling capacitor and an on-chip decoupling capacitor.

This paper reports the integration of a hybrid system that consist of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) and an ultra-capacitor (UC) with the UPQC. Apart from performing load sharing with the grid, the overall UPQC is able to handle a wide range of power quality (PQ) problems; thus enhancing the functions of the UPQC and ensures higher network availability, reliability and stability. The UPQC is controlled by the Model Predictive Control (MPC), which has the capability to handle hard constraints. Illustrative examples to demonstrate the robustness and performance of the UPQC with the hybrid system are presented. The proposed hybrid system is generic in nature and can be used with other UPQCs to enhance their performance and capabilities.
