Summary on Grant Application Form
The proposed research id the university of Hull contribution to the LINK Personal Communications project on 'EMC Aspects of Future Radio-Based Mobile Tele-communications Systems'. It is anticipated that as radio-based mobile communications become more prevalent, operating in increasingly electronics based environments the potential for electromagnetic interference between radio and non-radio systems will increase. The overall aim of the programme is to identify and characterise the likely risks in terms of emissions and coupling mechanisms and to formulate and disseminate guidelines to mitigate against such effects. The Hull contribution is primarily concerned with the characterisation of emissions from future radio-based mobile communications systems, both individually and in various congested radio environments and identifying the features of such emissions which are likely to cause problems of an EMC nature. In order to assess these EMC effects, we propose to use extensive simulations of multiple distributed sources of modulated RF emission. The RF fields likely to exist in congested radio environments may therefore be determined on a carrier-cycle time scale within the typical susceptibility bandwidths of non-intentional receiving systems which may be significantly greater than the bandwidths of the radio systems themselves. The Hull contribution will also investigate non-radio emission characteristics and assist in the planning and execution of the measurement programme to be carried out by other collaborators. There will be particularly close collaboration with the University of York, who will assess the coupling of the fields modelled by this part of the study into the physical structures of typical wired systems.
