This paper proposes a track circuit interference identification model, which combines convolutional neural network (CNN) and transformer architecture to identify common types of electromagnetic interference in track circuit equipment. The model maps the time-frequency characteristics of the input monitoring signal into high-dimensional features through the deep learning model, and classifies the interference modes. Subsequently, a variety of common interference signals are generated for experimental verification, and the proposed model performs well on the test data. Ablation experiments show that the combination of convolutional neural network and attention mechanism can effectively improve the classification performance of interference.

The interaction of electric, electronic (E/E) and mechanical components defines the quality of a BEV’s powertrain. Component selection, their integration and calibration aim at meeting legal requirements for EMC and safety as well as competitive targets for efficiency, NVH and driving comfort. These tasks in particular need attention on electromagnetic events on the DC bus, the high-power electronics of inverters, the e-motors, and the drive shaft. Each component within this environment is defined by its electromechanical features with variabilities selected from a large set of operating parameters. Consequently, a complete powertrain and its controllers give rise to endless combinations for powertrain operation. How to understand and avoid risk laden and ineffective parameter options, how to find powertrain control parameters for safe, efficient and comfortable operation? And how to find solutions within competitive development timeframes? Particular issues include high voltage risks

Modern military aircraft represent some of the most complex electronic environments ever engineered. These platforms integrate advanced avionics, radar systems, data links, and communication networks that must function seamlessly in hostile, high-frequency environments. In these mission-critical contexts, electromagnetic interference (EMI) poses a silent but serious threat that can degrade signal integrity, cause crosstalk between systems, or even lead to mission failure. The combination of increasing data rates, higher frequencies, and more complex electromagnetic environments demands shielding solutions that can deliver superior performance while contributing to overall system weight reduction. This challenge has driven innovation toward advanced materials that maintain electrical effectiveness while dramatically reducing mass.
This SAE Aerospace Standard (AS) contains requirements for a digital time division command/response multiplex data bus, for use in systems integration that is functionally similar to MIL-STD-1553B with Notice 2 but with a star topology and some deleted functionality. Even with the use of this document, differences may exist between multiplex data buses in different system applications due to particular application requirements and the options allowed in this document. The system designer must recognize this fact and design the multiplex bus controller (BC) hardware and software to accommodate such differences. These designer selected options must exist to allow the necessary flexibility in the design of specific multiplex systems in order to provide for the control mechanism, architectural redundancy, degradation concept, and traffic patterns peculiar to the specific application requirements.

A battery electric vehicle (BEV) employs a traction inverter to control a traction motor. One popular configuration is to make a HV battery directly connected to the input of the motor inverter. As a result, the maximum motor voltage is limited by the state of charge (SOC) of the traction battery. When the battery voltage is low the maximum motor speed and power are limited. This voltage limitation can be solved by using a traditional boost converter-based inverter. However, this approach has several disadvantages. The motor winding terminals see a PWM voltage, which results in high frequency harmonics that lead to EMI, NVH and potential additional insulation stress. Also, there are PWM-induced common mode voltages that are known to produce bearing failures as well as EMI/EMC problems that are extremely difficult to eliminate. Finally, the topology is significantly more expensive due to the high number of active switching devices needed. To solve some of the limitations and issues

The application of millimeter-wave radar technology in autonomous driving has become increasingly widespread with the rapid development of intelligent transportation systems. However, millimeter-wave radar is easily affected by environmental noise, multipath reflections, and electromagnetic interference, resulting in a large number of invalid target signals that reduce the system’s detection accuracy and safety. We proposes a method for filtering invalid targets based on interference signal characteristics and an Adaptive Interactive Multiple Model Kalman Filter (IMM-KF) target tracking algorithm. First, we effectively filter out empty targets, ghost targets, and false targets through a threshold method and lifecycle assessment, achieving a filtering rate exceeding 99.8%. Second, the improved Adaptive IMM-KF algorithm, combined with the Hungarian algorithm, associates and tracks multiple targets. The root mean square error (RMSE) of our methods is reduced by 7.07% and 8.05% compared to

The article presents radio frequency electromagnetic emission measurement results from a Vehicle semi-anechoic chamber (VSAC) with different electric drivetrains under loading conditions. The measurements are conducted based on AIS 004 part-3 and CISPR 12 standard guidelines in which radiated broadband emissions in the frequency range of 30 MHz to 1 GHz using quasi-peak detector is measured [1, 2, 3]. Categories of vehicles such as Two-wheeler and three-wheeler drivetrains are selected for this study. Typically, the measurements are done with no road loading condition as per standard recommendation. However, in this paper, we studied the effects of loading conditions with the help of a chassis dynamometer. The study examines and discusses how various vehicle architectures behave under different conditions.

In the early 2010s, LightSquared, a multibillion-dollar startup promising to revolutionize cellular communications, declared bankruptcy. The company couldn't figure out how to prevent its signals from interfering with those of GPS systems. Now, Penn Engineers have developed a new tool that could prevent such problems from ever happening again: an adjustable filter that can successfully prevent interference, even in higher-frequency bands of the electromagnetic spectrum.
The ongoing energy transition will have a profound impact on future mobility, with electrification playing a key role. Battery electric vehicles (EVs) are the dominant technology, relying on the conversion of alternating current (AC) from the grid to direct current (DC) to charge the traction battery. This process involves power electronic components such as rectifiers and DC/DC converters operating at high switching frequencies in the kHz range. Fast switching is essential to minimise losses and improve efficiency, but it might also generate electro-magnetic interferences (EMI). Hence, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing is essential to ensure reliable system operations and to meet international standards. During DC charging, the AC/DC conversion takes place off-board in the charging station, allowing for better cooling and larger components, resulting in increased power transfer, currently up to 350 kW. The EMC requirements for this charging method are outlined in IEC 61851

This AIR was prepared to inform the aerospace industry about the electromagnetic interference measurement capability of spectrum analyzers. The spectrum analyzers considered are of the wide dispersion type which are electronically tuned over an octave or wider frequency range. The reason for limiting the AIR to this type of spectrum analyzer is that several manufacturers produce them as general-purpose instruments, and their use for EMI measurement will give significant time and cost savings. The objective of the AIR is to give a description of the spectrum analyzers, consider the analyzer parameters, and describe how the analyzers are usable for collection of EMI data. The operator of a spectrum analyzer should be thoroughly familiar with the analyzer and the technical concepts reviewed in this AIR before performing EMI measurements.

The aerospace industry is noticing significant shift towards More Electric Aircraft (MEA). The advancement of electrical technology the systems are being transformed towards electric compared to the conventional pneumatic or hydraulic systems. This has led to an increased demand in electrical power from 150 Kilo Watts in the conventional airplane to 1 Mega Watts in More Electric Aircraft. More electric systems, call for increased electrical wiring harness to connect various systems in the aircraft. These harnesses consist of power and data cables. Wireless communication technology is being matured for data communication, leading to reduction of wire harness for data. As of now, the length of wires in large commercial aircraft is over 100miles and it may not be surprising if the electrification of aircraft drive this too much longer.

The 2023 edition of NetModX featured 10 weeks of experimentation spanning 62 different technologies across 17 focus areas and five modernization priorities including “Future Vertical Lift, Long-Range Precision Fires, Network, Next Generation Combat Vehicle and Soldier Lethality,” according to the Army. A major goal sought by the C5ISR Center with NetModX is to take technologies that are nearing maturity from research labs directly into operational environments for assessments by active warfighters.
Due to the transformation of the automotive industry from conventional vehicles to electric vehicles, new challenges have emerged concerning Electromagnetic Compatibility. Though the Radiated Emission limits in global regulation are the same for both types of powertrains of vehicles, however, due to the phenomena of conversion of high voltage to low voltage, rapid charging/discharging, and different components involved in electric powertrain, the Radiated Emission from electric vehicles give a strikingly different trend which is challenging to combat. When compared with the conventional Spark Ignition vehicle, many other electronic components of the electric vehicle stay in the mode of Power ON while in the “Ignition ON” steady state. This resulted in us observing a significant shift in the amplitude and frequency throughout the frequency band of Radiated Emission measurement. This paper presents a comparative analysis of the changing trends of Radiated Emission from Spark Ignition

The technology in the automotive industry is evolving rapidly in recent times. Thus, with the development of new technologies, the challenges are also ever-increasing from an Electromagnetic Interference and Susceptibility (EMI/EMC) perspective. A lot of the latest technologies in Adaptive Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), which include Rear Drive Assist, Blind Spot Detection (BSD), Lane Change Assist (LCA) to name a few, and other features like Anti-Braking System (ABS), Emergency Brake Assist (EBD) etc. rely heavily on different types of sensors and their detection circuitry. In addition, a lot of other internal functions in the Engine Control Unit (ECU) also depend on such sensors’ functionalities.

The automotive industry is witnessing remarkable progress in various facets of vehicle design, encompassing powertrain. To further boost the performance and efficiency of electric vehicles, researchers and designers are venturing beyond conventional silicon-based solutions into cutting-edge technologies. Among these, the application of wide-bandgap materials, specifically silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN), in power-semiconductor devices for electric vehicles has gained significant popularity. Wide-bandgap-based voltage source converters crafted from SiC and GaN materials demonstrate superior efficiency when compared to their silicon counterparts. However, it is crucial to note that their performance largely hinges on their utilization at high switching frequencies.

In the realm of medical technology, the quest for reliability and safety is unending. As medical devices become increasingly sophisticated, so too does the challenge of protecting these devices from electromagnetic interference (EMI). The concept of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) has thus become a pivotal consideration for medical device manufacturers. At the heart of this concern lies high-attenuation shielding, a critical component in safeguarding sensitive medical equipment against the disruptive forces of EMI.
The development of electric vehicles has been progressed, rapidly, to achieve Carbon neutrality by 2050. There have been increasing concerns about Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) performance due to increasing power for power trains of vehicles. Because same power train system expands to some vehicles, we have developed numerical simulations in order to predict the vehicle EMC performances. We modeled a vehicle which has inverter noises by numerical simulation to calculate electric fields based on GB/T18387. We simulated the common mode noise which flows through the shielding braid of the high voltage wire harnesses. As a result, it is confirmed a correlation between the electric fields calculated by numerical simulation and the measured one.
