Filtering and Suppressing Transients
Another EMC resource from EMC Standards EMC techniques in electronic design Part 3 - Filtering and Suppressing Transients Helping you solve your EMC problems 9 Bracken View, Brocton, Stafford ST17 0TF T:+44 (0) 1785 660247 E:[email protected] Design Techniques for EMC Part 3 — Filtering and Suppressing Transients Originally published in the EMC Compliance Journal in 2006-9, and available from http://www.compliance-club.com/KeithArmstrong.aspx Eur Ing Keith Armstrong CEng MIEE MIEEE Partner, Cherry Clough Consultants, www.cherryclough.com, Member EMCIA Phone/Fax: +44 (0)1785 660247, Email: [email protected] This is the third in a series of six articles on basic good-practice electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) techniques in electronic design, to be published during 2006. It is intended for designers of electronic modules, products and equipment, but to avoid having to write modules/products/equipment throughout – everything that is sold as the result of a design process will be called a ‘product’ here. This series is an update of the series first published in the UK EMC Journal in 1999 [1], and includes basic good EMC practices relevant for electronic, printed-circuit-board (PCB) and mechanical designers in all applications areas (household, commercial, entertainment, industrial, medical and healthcare, automotive, railway, marine, aerospace, military, etc.). Safety risks caused by electromagnetic interference (EMI) are not covered here; see [2] for more on this issue. These articles deal with the practical issues of what EMC techniques should generally be used and how they should generally be applied. Why they are needed or why they work is not covered (or, at least, not covered in any theoretical depth) – but they are well understood academically and well proven over decades of practice. -

The frequency of the Mie reso- nances depends on the electric length of the strip. The simulated structure shows tunability over 20 GHz with -30 dB on/off ratio. This method of control can be applied for a design of tunable meta- material based on various dielectric resonant inclusions. 1. Introduction THz radiation can be used for nondestructive medical scanning, security screening, quality control, atmospheric investigation, space research, etc. [1, 2]. Artificially manufactured structures, known as metamaterials, allow obtaining desired electromagnetic properties in any frequency region. Metamate- rials operating in THz frequency range have been proposed in [3]. Controllable devices such as tuna- ble filters, switches (modulators) or phase shifters are required in order to control spectrum, power, and directivity of THz radiation. In this work we suggest and analyze tunable metamaterials based on resonant dielectric inclusions. 2. Metamaterial based on dielectric resonators There is a number of structures with negative values of dielectric permittivity and magnetic permeabil- ity. -
EE 210 Lab Exercise #10: RC Filters
EE 210 Lab Exercise #10: RC Filters EE210 crate, 0.01uF capacitor, ITEMS REQUIRED Breadboard Submit questions and plots at the ASSIGNMENT beginning of the next lab period Introduction An electronic filter is basically a circuit that only lets a specified range of frequencies “pass” to the output, while blocking all of the other undesired frequencies. Typically the signal to be blocked is considered “noise”, or an unwanted signal interfering with the desired signal. This undesired signal doesn’t have to be “noise” per say, it can also be any another signals that are combined with the desired signal, as in the case of communication systems. A filter can be considered a two-port network as shown below: Iin Iout + + Vin Filter Vout - - output The transfer function of the network is defined as H = , where the inputs and outputs may input be either voltage or current. The range of frequencies that a filter will pass is the “pass-band”, and the range of frequencies that the filter will reject is the “stop-band”. The cut-off frequency is defined as the frequency at which the transition between the pass-band and stop-band occurs. The four basic types of ideal filters are shown below in Figure 1. As will be seen in the exercise, a practical filter will not have the sharp transitions between the pass-band and stop-band. Figure 1: Transfer functions of 4 ideal filters 1 Passive RC Filters Passive RC filters are the most basic type of electric filter, consisting of a single resistor and capacitor in series as shown in Figure 2. -
Tunable Metamaterial with Gold and Graphene Split-Ring Resonators and Plasmonically Induced Transparency
nanomaterials Article Tunable Metamaterial with Gold and Graphene Split-Ring Resonators and Plasmonically Induced Transparency Qichang Ma, Youwei Zhan and Weiyi Hong * Guangzhou Key Laboratory for Special Fiber Photonic Devices and Applications & Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Nanophotonic Functional Materials and Devices, South China Normal University, Guangzhou 510006, China; [email protected] (Q.M.); [email protected] (Y.Z.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +86-185-203-89309 Received: 28 November 2018; Accepted: 20 December 2018; Published: 21 December 2018 Abstract: In this paper, we propose a metamaterial structure for realizing the electromagnetically induced transparency effect in the MIR region, which consists of a gold split-ring and a graphene split-ring. The simulated results indicate that a single tunable transparency window can be realized in the structure due to the hybridization between the two rings. The transparency window can be tuned individually by the coupling distance and/or the Fermi level of the graphene split-ring via electrostatic gating. These results could find significant applications in nanoscale light control and functional devices operating such as sensors and modulators. Keywords: metamaterials; mid infrared; graphene split-ring; gold split-ring; electromagnetically induced transparency effect 1. Introduction Electromagnetically-induced transparency (EIT) is a concept originally observed in atomic physics and arises due to quantum interference, resulting in a narrowband transparency window for light propagating through an originally opaque medium [1,2]. The EIT effect extended to classical optical systems using plasmonic metamaterials leads to new opportunities for many important applications such as slow light modulator [3–6], high sensitivity sensors [7,8], quantum information processors [9], and plasmonic switches [10–12]. -
Reconfigurable Metasurface Antenna Based on the Liquid Metal
micromachines Article Reconfigurable Metasurface Antenna Based on the Liquid Metal for Flexible Scattering Fields Manipulation Ting Qian Shanghai Technical Institute of Electronics and Information, Shanghai 200240, China; [email protected] Abstract: In this paper, we propose a reconfigurable metasurface antenna for flexible scattering field manipulation using liquid metal. Since the Eutectic gallium indium (EGaIn) liquid metal has a melting temperature around the general room temperature (about 30 ◦C), the structure based on the liquid metal can be easily reconstructed under the temperature control. We have designed an element cavity structure to contain liquid metal for its flexible shape-reconstruction. By melting and rotating the element structure, the shape of liquid metal can be altered, resulting in the distinct reflective phase responses. By arranging different metal structure distribution, we show that the scattering fields generated by the surface have diverse versions including single-beam, dual-beam, and so on. The experimental results have good consistency with the simulation design, which demonstrated our works. The presented reconfigurable scheme may promote more interest in various antenna designs on 5G and intelligent applications.

In this third part we will discuss about low-pass, high-pass and notch filters. The approach will be without mathematics, the goal will be to introduce readers to a physical knowledge of filters. People interested in a mathematical analysis will find in the appendix some books on the topic. Fig.2 ∗ The constant K low-pass filter: it was invented in 1922 by George Campbell and the Running the simulation we can see the response meaning of constant K is the expression: of the filter in fig.3 2 ZL* ZC = K = R ZL and ZC are the impedances of inductors and capacitors in the filter, while R is the terminating impedance. A look at fig.1 will be clarifying. Fig.3 It is clear that the sharpness of the response increase as the order of the filter increase. The ripple near the edge of the cutoff moves from Fig 1 monotonic in 3 rd order to ringing of about 1.7 dB for the 9 th order. This due to the mismatch of the The two filter configurations, at T and π are various sections that are connected to a 50 Ω displayed, all the reactance are 50 Ω and the impedance at the edges of the filter and filter cells are all equal. In practice the two series connected to reactive impedances between cells. -

E-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] 1 Abstract Metamaterials and plasmonics are powerful tools for unconventional manipulation and harnessing of light. Metamaterials can be engineered to possess intriguing properties lacking in natural materials, such as negative refractive index. Plasmonics offers capabilities to confine light in subwavelength dimensions and to enhance light-matter interactions. Recently, graphene-based plasmonics has revealed emerging technological potential as it features large tunability, higher field-confinement and lower loss compared to metal-based plasmonics. Here, we introduce hybrid structures comprising graphene plasmonic resonators efficiently coupled to conventional split-ring resonators, thus demonstrating a type of highly tunable metamaterial, where the interaction between the two resonances reaches the strong-coupling regime. Such hybrid metamaterials are employed as high-speed THz modulators, exhibiting over 60% transmission modulation and operating speed in excess of 40 MHz. This device concept also provides a platform for exploring cavity-enhanced light-matter interactions and optical processes in graphene plasmonic structures for applications including sensing, photo-detection and nonlinear frequency generation. -

In other words they “�lter-out” unwanted signals and an ideal �lter will separate and pass sinusoidal input signals based upon their frequency. In low frequency applications (up to 100kHz), passive �lters are generally constructed using simple RC (Resistor-Capacitor) networks, while higher frequency �lters (above 100kHz) are usually made from RLC (Resistor-Inductor-Capacitor) components. Passive Filters (http://www.amazon.com/gp/aws/cart/add.html?ASIN.1=B00EHIEGL0&Quantity.1=1& AWSAccessKeyId=AKIAIOB4VMPIMBIMN7NA&AssociateTag=basicelecttut-20) are made up of passive components such as resistors, capacitors and inductors and have no amplifying elements (transistors, op-amps, etc) so have no signal gain, therefore their output level is always less than the input. Filters are so named according to the frequency range of signals that they allow to pass through them, while blocking or “attenuating” the rest. The most commonly used �lter designs are the: 1. The Low Pass Filter – the low pass �lter only allows low frequency signals from 0Hz to its cut-o� frequency, ƒc point to pass while blocking those any higher.
