Objective
The aim of this project is to study the electromagnetic compatibility aspects of interconnection cables between equipment, as they are very often the paths through which interferences couple with the devices and affect their performance.
A theoretical and experimental characterisation of electrical interconnections, and an evaluation of the signal distortions introduced by different interferences, will be carried out.
The main objectives of the research are: the development of analytical and numerical procedures for the determination of lossy and non-homogeneous parameters of interconnection cables, and an experimental validation of these procedures; development of field-to-transmission line coupling models for non-homogeneous interconnections of general geometric shape; introduction of radiation losses in numerical calculation methods based on the transmission line approximation and comparison with the classical method; formulation of a general technique describing the transmission line behaviour at its terminations, including non-linear loads, suitable for integration into CAD software; characterisation of non-linear devices by means of voltage measurements; development of frequency and time-domain expressions for the ground impedance.
Modelling and numerical procedures will be combined with experimental validation using experimental facilities from the laboratories of different partners. Previous work has been performed in this field both in INTAS member states and in NIS institutions that are partners in this programme. The profile and expertise of the partners in the research are complementary and the research work will benefit from the synergetic action of all teams.
The expected results of this collaboration are: a direct economic impact on the electrical and electronics industry in the NIS by developing numerical tools for the design of the protection of sensitive equipment, the strengthening of existing relations between NIS institutions and those of INTAS member states as well as the creation of a nucleus of a future network based on existing contacts of partners in the project.
