Recently, I was asked by the American Journal of Physics to provide a review of the 122 page book, “Are Electromagnetic Fields Making Me III? How Electricity and Magnetism Affect our Health” by Bradley J. Roth. Given the topic of the book, I thought that a number of you in the EMC community would be interested and I asked their permission to reprint it here. They graciously agreed. Hence, the following review is “Reproduced from American Journal of Physics 90, 718 (2022); https://doi.org/10.1119/5.0107970 with the permission of the American Association of Physics Teachers.”

The energy transition contributes to a more sustainable use of electricity. Consequently, the loads that are connected in the electricity grid change from conventional linear loads towards non-linear time-variant loads, which are usually more energy efficient. This has resulted in many conducted electromagnetic interference problems, of which the interference on static energy meters is an impactful case as it can result in higher energy bills for consumers. This issue occurs when highly pulsed loads are connected to the static energy meter. For example, coming from a commercial off-the-shelf water pump, where errors up to 2675% are found, or from switching multimedia equipment resulting in a power generation of more than 600 W without any power generating equipment connected. Therefore, this article compares the interference waveforms with the waveforms as included in the relevant directives and standards. It is found that the test standards only cover frequency domain test methods, while the interference waveforms are more wide-band. Furthermore, those test methods do not cover the wide variety of waveforms that occur in the residential environment were the static energy meter is placed in.

Owing to the greater integration capability, flexible multilayer foil (FMLF) technique has a great potential to promote the evolution of passive integration techniques. To understand the mechanism of this technique is essential for its applications and popularization. To this end, this paper reveals the fundamentals and terminal configuration principles to realize various functional electromagnetic integration units with FMLF technique. A regular FMLF winding is taken as the research object, from theoretical analyses on the associated distributed electromagnetic component (DEMC) circuits, the lumped electromagnetic component (LEMC) circuits with different terminal configuration modes are derived. Moreover, A FMLF winding prototype is built for experimental verifications. The LEMC circuits are demonstrated through the comparative analyses between practically measured and LTspice based simulated impedances or port characteristics.

It's a busy time of year getting ready for all the Standards activity planned for the 2023 IEEE International Symposium on EMC+SIPI in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Standards play a big part of the symposium week with numerous workshops, tutorials, demonstrations, committee meetings, and more taking place over five full days. We welcome the contribution below from Tom Braxton a member of the IEEE EMC Society Standards Advisory and Coordination Committee (SACCom). His article describes the importance of the EMC Society's collaboration with global Standards Development Organizations (SDOs).

The purpose of the “SPOTLIGHT” column is to highlight the top downloaded papers for the Transactions on Electromagnetic Compatibility and Electromagnetic Compatibility Magazine, pre-selected based on the statistics of the IEEE Xplore digital library (http://ieeexplore.ieee.org), by presenting their corresponding abstracts. A balance of the top downloaded paper abstracts is published quarterly, giving the technical and scientific community the opportunity to be informed about the contributions of a wide range of EMC topics, their authors, and affiliations, and making the EMC field better known. Moreover, one of these issues is dedicated to presenting the abstracts of the finalists for the best papers nominated as part of the IEEE International Symposia on Electromagnetic Compatibility.

DC blocking capacitors are commonly used to separate the DC biasing voltages of two separate circuits operating at different voltage levels. Employing the DC blocking capacitors may seem straightforward, but as operating frequency increases, it can be a challenge to select the right capacitor value due to signal integrity, loss, and reflection issues. The impact of the DC blocking capacitor on the performance of RF circuits has been well studied, but not so for its effects during an ESD event. The first paper, “Investigating the Effect of the DC Block Capacitor on Residual Current in a System-Level ESD-Protected Circuit”, investigates the relation between the residual current and DC blocking capacitor value during the ESD event so that the optimal capacitance can be calculated.
