Abstract:

There exists safety concern for exposure to electromagnetic fields. The adverse health effect due to electromagnetic field has been summarized in documents of World Health Organization. To protect the human from electromagnetic fields, a two-tier approach has then been applied in our daily life. First, the exposure standards are developed based on the threshold of adverse health effect. The limit of induced physical quantities in the human body, such as induced electric field and specific absorption rate (SAR), are derived considering the reduction (safety) factor. The safety of the products should be assessed following the method of product standards. In this lecture, the relationship between these two types of standards is discussed including the rationale from engineering viewpoint from extremely low frequencies to millimeter waves. Recent standardization related to 5G wireless communications system is also summarized. In addition, the research necessity in this research field is mentioned.

 

Biography:

Prof. Harita received the B.E., M.E., and Ph.D. degree in communications engineering from Osaka University, Suita, Japan, in 1996, 1998, and 2000, respectively. From 1999 to 2001, he was a Research Fellow of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, and also a Visiting Research Scientist at the University of Victoria, BC, Canada, in 2000. In 2001, he joined the Department of Communications Engineering, Osaka University, as an Assistant Professor. In 2004, he moved to Nagoya Institute of Technology where he is currently a Full Professor and Director of Research Center. His research interests include electromagnetic safety, EMC, antennas, filters, risk management system for heat-related illness, methods in neuroscience, and related computational techniques. Prof. Hirata is an Associate Editor of the IEEE Trans. On EMC, an editorial board member of Physics in Medicine and Biology.

Webinar: An Overview Radiation Effects on Electronics @ Online
Mar 10 @ 12:00 – 13:00

 

The IEEE Reliability Society & Power Electronics Society is inviting all interested IEEE members and prospective members to a webinar

An Overview of Radiation Effects on Electronics

By Ken Coffman

 

DATE:       10 March 2022

TIME:        12 PM -1 PM

 

Abstract 

Traditionally, electronic systems for outer space applications used hermetic packages which were extensively screened. These parts were used in robust, low-volume and high-cost systems. Over the last decade, Low Earth Orbit (LEO) New Space (or Space 2.0) systems—driven by entrepreneurial billionaires—using lower-cost, higher-technology Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) components—components selected for radiation performance and carefully qualified for the intended satellite orbits. This raises questions. What are the mechanisms for radiation damage and what do they do to the electronics of our designs? This presentation is not comprehensive, but is a good starting point for understanding what happens to electronic components in space.
