    No full text
    We present the concept of an on-line electric vehicle (OLEV) and its wireless power transfer mechanism and analyze the electromagnetic compatibility characteristics. As magnetic fields transfer 100kW of power to the vehicle, reduction of electromagnetic field (EMF) noise is a critical issue for protection of the human body. Also, with respect to electromagnetic interference (EMI) noise, a proper measurement method has not yet been established for this low frequency high power system. In this paper, low frequency magnetic field shielding methods and application of the shields to the OLEV system are presented. Furthermore, a standard low frequency magnetic field measurement is suggested as an EMI test

    The authors introduced the concept of OLEV system and its non-contact power transfer mechanism. The design of electromagnetic field is necessary not only for maximization of power transfer capacity and efficiency but also for minimization of EMF and EMI. With the optimization of power lines and pickup coils, the authors could successfully achieve the power transfer capacity of 100 kW with maximum efficiency of 83% satisfying the international guideline published by ICNIRP

    Isolation enhancement of a capacitively-fed MIMO antenna using a quasi-fractal parasitic element and defected ground structure

    Vehicular Internet of Things (IoT) is facilitated by efficient RF front ends with suppressed mutual coupling for enhanced spatial diversity and increased channel capacity. This paper presents a mutual coupling suppressed MIMO antenna with a hybrid decoupling technique for Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communications, enabling IoT in automotive systems. The single elements consist of a radiating patch with a cleaving circular slot to introduce a capacitive effect on the radiating structure. Afterwards, the single-unit design is further extrapolated to a 2 × 2 MIMO antenna. The mutual coupling is suppressed between antenna elements by introducing a quasi-fractal parasitic element and a defected ground structure (DGS). The MIMO antenna is designed to conform to the requirements posed by V2X systems in Dedicated Short-Range Communications (DSRC) and Intelligent transportation system (ITS) scenarios. The proposed MIMO antenna offers measured |S11| 28 dB) between its individual elements, a diversity gain (DG) close to the ideal value of 10 dB (9.99 dB), peak realized gain of 6.5 dBi, an ECC below 0.001, and a beam coverage area of 180° in azimuthal and elevation plane by dynamic port switching. Thus, the proposed MIMO antenna module is a considerable candidate for future V2X communication paradigms

    COMPLIANCE TESTING FOR HUMAN BODY MODEL EXPOSURE TO ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS FROM A HIGH-POWER WIRELESS CHARGING SYSTEM FOR DRONES

    Recently, a wireless charging system (WCS) for drones has been extensively studied, although standards for compliance testing of a WCS for drones have yet to be established. In this study, we propose methods for human exposure assessments of a WCS for drones by comprehensively considering the various positions of the system and the postures of human body models. The electromagnetic fields from a WCS are modeled and the internal quantities of the human body models, consisting of current density, internal electric field and specific absorption rate, are calculated. The incident fields around the WCS and the internal quantities are analyzed at 140 kHz, which is the operating frequency of the WCS applied. Results of an exposure assessment based on the confirmed worst-case scenario are presented. In addition, the internal quantities depending on the human body models and the material characteristics of the simplified models are also discussed using four different anatomical and simplified human body models.
