The electronic current transformer (ECT) acquisition card is widely used in smart grids with many advantages. However, with the continuous improvement of the power grid and localized intelligent electronic devices, the electromagnetic environment under the operating conditions of gas insulated switchgear (GIS) substations is becoming more complicated. The reliability and safety of the ECT acquisition card will be endangered due to the complicated electromagnetic environment. In order to solve these problems, this paper investigates the electromagnetic disturbed mechanism of the ECT acquisition card. The effects of different grounding methods on the electromagnetic interference of the ECT acquisition card were studied. A platform based on IEC 61000-4-4 was built, and the electromagnetic interference (EMI) of the ECT acquisition card with different grounding methods was measured. The results show that the lower grounding impedance of the ECT acquisition system increased the internal EMI. Further, the high frequency electrical fast transient/burst coupling mechanism was analyzed. The parasitic parameters of the acquisition card were extracted based on the critical circuit by using the finite element method. Then, the high-frequency EMI coupling model of the ECT acquisition card was established.

With the gradual increasing of the transmission voltage level, the situation of interference on secondary side equipment in smart substations is becoming more serious. The authors tested the interference waveforms caused by the circuit breaker’s operation at the smart substation, which showed the severity of the electromagnetic (EM) environment. This paper takes the electronic current transformer acquisition card as an example. The influence of EM interference sources on the reliability of the acquisition card is analyzed. Then, standardized electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) immunity tests of the international electrotechnical commission (IEC) for different interferences are implemented. Typical output characteristics of acquisition cards for different tests are analyzed. Innovatively, this paper proposes a quantitative evaluation method of output waveform disturbance to evaluate the acquisition card’s performance. This disturbance distortion is of great significance to the EM environment estimation of the acquisition card.

In high-speed transmission circuits, signal integrity is an inevitable problem. This paper describes the air-isolated PCB connector design used in the aerospace electronic equipment. First based on the small size and light weight of aerospace electronic equipment and the combination of high-speed connector design method we proposed the concept of air-isolated.

The high-speed interconnection solutions have been used in almost all electronic products, so connector's signal transmission quality has also become a critical factor in the design of high-speed applications. Thus, in the design of high-speed connector applications, the impedance matching, cross talk, propagating delay and alignment shape of connector are important factors to be considered. The impedance matching is the prerequisite for solving the signal integrity, this paper proposes the impedance matching rule of high-speed connector through theoretical calculation and software simulation, thereby effectively resolving the problem of signal integrity which impedance mismatching leads to.

This paper demonstrates a new technology that can infer a person's emotions from RF signals reflected off his body. EQ-Radio transmits an RF signal and analyzes its reflections off a person's body to recognize his emotional state (happy, sad, etc.). The key enabler underlying EQ-Radio is a new algorithm for extracting the individual heartbeats from the wireless signal at an accuracy comparable to on-body ECG monitors. The resulting beats are then used to compute emotion-dependent features which feed a machine-learning emotion classifier. We describe the design and implementation of EQ-Radio, and demonstrate through a user study that its emotion recognition accuracy is on par with state-of-the-art emotion recognition systems that require a person to be hooked to an ECG monitor.
