The safety of human exposure to an ever-increasing number and diversity of electromagnetic field (EMF) sources both at work and at home has clearly become a public health issue. To date many $in$ $vivo$ and $in$ $vitro$ studies revealed that EMF exposure can alter cellular metabolism, endocrine function, immune activity, reproductive function, and fetal development in animal system. The major parameters found to be altered in cells or individuals following EMF exposure include an increase of free radicals, DNA damage, cancer risk, developmental defect, and reproductive dysfunctions. Epidemiological studies reported EMF can increase life-threatening illnesses such as leukemia, brain cancer, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, clinical depression, suicide, and Alzheimer's disease has been identified. These effects of EMF exposure differ according to duration of exposure, frequency of waves, and strength (energy) of EMF. In the present review, we briefly introduced the physical properties of EMF and summarized the effect of EMF on human and wildlife animals according to types of EMF, duration of exposure at cellular and organism levels.

This paper presents a method to perform a more efficient electromagnetic wave analysis inside a large building by external electromagnetic waves. Topological analysis and the PWB method are introduced for electromagnetic wave analysis. In addition, a Performance-Enhanced PWB method, which complements the performance of the PWB method is proposed. A large virtual structure was selected and an analysis environment was set up to perform the electromagnetic wave analysis inside a large building from external electromagnetic waves. A commercially available software, Wireless Insite, was used to verify the accuracy of the the Performance- Enhanced PWB method. As a result of comparing the two results in terms of accuracy, time, and memory, We conclude that the Performance-Enhanced PWB method proposed in this paper is a more efficient method in a large bulding.

The international community recognizes North Korea's nuclear and missile provocation as a real threat. This is due to the analysis and evaluation that has developed nuclear electro magnetic pulse of domestic and overseas North Korea experts, intelligence agencies related to electro magnetic pulse. Electro magnetic pulse experts are concerned about North Korea's nuclear electro magnetic pulse in the following aspects. First, industrial, military, medical, and living facilities in modern society are constructed with electrical and electronic systems. So, All electrical and electronic appliances will become neutralization if North Korea's nuclear electro magnetic pulse was set off over the world(i.e. Korean Peninsula, United States etc). Second, North Korea will judge that possibility of criticism by the international community is low from the point of view of an attacker. Because nuclear electro magnetic pulse aim to destroy only the electronic equipment of the opposite nation and cause damage rather than taking life. Finally, nuclear electro magnetic pulse is more threatening than weapons like mass destruction because it does not need to hit targets accurately and can strike a wide area with nuclear weapon of the low technology levels. In this respect, we will analyze and evaluate nuclear and missile development and make a prospects about nuclear electro magnetic pulse developed by North Korea.

Studies on nondestructive evaluation methods using electromagnetic waves have been commonly conducted to evaluate necking defects in bored piles. However, the propagation of electromagnetic waves are affected by water contents of surrounding materials. This study aims to investigate a suitability of electromagnetic waves for evaluating necking defects in bored piles embedded in sandy soils through laboratory experiments. Laboratory experiments are performed with a model pile having a necking defect. The diameter and length of model pile are 600 mm and 1 m, respectively, and the model pile is embedded in sandy soils with different water contents of 10%, 20%, and 30%. For the propagation of electromagnetic waves, a transmission line is configured in reinforcement cage using an electrical wire. The generation and detection of electromagnetic waves are conducted using a time domain reflectometer. Experimental results show that the peak amplitude of electromagnetic waves reflected at the necking defect decreases with an increase in the water content in sandy soils. In addition, the velocity of electromagnetic waves reflected from the toe of the model pile decreases win an increase in the water content. However, estimated locations of the necking defects are almost the same to that of the actual location of the necking defect. This study demonstrates that electromagnetic waves may be an effective method for evaluating necking defects in bored piles embedded in sandy soils

In this study, an electromagnetic pulse shielding effect was obtained by applying the arc metal spraying method to the ordinary concrete. For this study, to evaluate the electrical properties in the thickness of the metal sprayed coating, 8 types of metals(Cu, CuAl, CuNi, CuZn, Al, Zn, ZnAl, AlMg) were sprayed as coatings with a thickness of 100, 200 and 500㎛. The electrical conductivity on the surface was measured with a 4-pin probe, and an electromagnetic wave shielding effect test was performed according to KS. Based on the test results, 200 ㎛ was proposed as an optimal metal coating thickness for electromagnetic pulse shielding, and it was thermally sprayed on a 300×300×100mm concrete specimen to analyze the electromagnetic wave shielding performance. However, in the area of adhesion strength, the maximum was 1.11MPa, which was found to be less than 74% of the target performance.

With the growing use of smartphones, many secure applications are performed on smartphones such as banking, payment, authentication. To provide security services, cryptographic algorithms are performed on smartphones' CPU. However, smartphone's CPU has no considerations against side-channel attacks including Electromagnetic Analysis (EMA). In DesignCon 2012, G. Kenworthy introduced the risk of cryptographic algorithms operated on smartphone against EMA. In this paper, using improved experimental setups, we performed EMA experiments on androin smartphones' commercial secure applications. As a result, we show that the weakness of real application. According to the experimental setups, we picked up the operation of w-NAF scalar multiplication from the operation of Google's Play Store application using radiated EM signal. Also, we distinguished scalar values (0 or not) of w-NAF scalar multiplication.

In this paper, the system level EMC radiated emission test results of KoDSat(Korea Demonstration Satellite), its affects upon the Launch vehicle and H/W improving methods regarding its over exceed value of EMC specification are discussed. Regarding its over exceed value, we estimated that DAU of KoDSat generated the exceeded EMC noise source, and these test results were analyzed using the EMC2000 tool to find out how did it affect the FTS(Flight Termination Subsystem) of KSLV-1(Korea Small Launch Vehicle). To diminish the EMC noise source of UHF(430.1Mhz) band level, we redesigned the DAU power board to be applied the various schemes for EMI noise reduction such as grounding, shielding and EMI filtering, and also verified these reworks to analyze its diminishing affects in UHF band level by means of performing the DAU box level EMC test and performing the second KoDSat's system level EMC test.

21세기를 접하면서 산업전자 분야의 비약적인 발전과 함께 과학문명은 눈부시게 발전해 나아가고 있다. 이것의 원천은 바로 전기(Electric)이다. 우리는 풍요로운 삶 자체를 전기 공급에서 누리고 있으며 또 비극적인 사태를 맞이할 때도 있다. 즉, 전기기기를 이용하면 원하건 원치 않건 전자기파가 발생이 된다 이것이 자연현상이며 전자기파는 IT, BT, CT를 비롯하여 산업 전체에 많은 영향을 미치고 있다. 일반적으로 우리가 말하는 전자기파 장해의 기본 요소는 노이즈원(잡음원), 경로매체, 피해장치 등으로 구성되는 데 잡음원(Noise Source)은 각종 시스템에서 구성되고 있는 전자기 에너지의 발생원으로 볼 수 있으며 이 발생원에서 경로매체(금속:전도성, 대기중:전파성 등)를 통하여 피해장치(전기전자통신기기류)에 방해를 주고 있는 상태를 전자기파 장해라고 설명할 수 있다. 전자기파 잡음원에서 경로를 거쳐 전자기파에 대하여 피해장치가 안정된 상태로 동작하도록 규정하는 용어 즉, 전자파 양립성 또는 적합성 (EMC : Electro Magnetic Compatibility))이란 용어를 가지고 전기 전자 통신기기에서 발생되는 불필요한 전자파와 전자파 내성시험을 만족하도록 의무화하고 있다. EMC 는 EMI (불요 전자파 또는 전자파 간섭 : Electro Magnetic Interference) + EMS (전자파 내성 : Electro Magnetic Susceptibility) 2가지 시험을 함께 전자파 적합성 (EMC) 시험으로 표현되고 있다. 전자파 적합성 시험의 목적으로 EMl는 전도성 또는 전파성에 대한 주파수 대역(잡음)을 보호하기 위한 것이 목적이고 EMS는 프로세서가 내장된 기기류의 오동작을 방지하기 위하여 감응평가를 하는 것이다. 즉, 감응(Susceptibility)이란 어떤 장비나 시스템이 전자기파 장해에 쉽게 영향을 받는 것을 뜻하는 데 전자파 장해를 견디면서 본래의 기능을 충분하게 발휘하며 동작할 수 있는 능력을 말한다.

Ni-Mn-Zn ferrite, Ni_0.5-xMn_xZn_0.5Fe₂O₄ (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.5), was synthesized using the sol-gel method to investigate the crystal structure, microstructure, magnetic properties, high-frequency characteristics, and electromagnetic (EM) wave absorption characteristics as a function of Mn substitution. As the Mn content increased, a continuous decrease in saturation magnetization (M_S) was observed with little change in coercivity (H_C). Samples for each composition (x) exhibited strong EM wave absorption performance with first and second strong EM wave absorption regions satisfying minimum reflection loss, RL_min < -40 dB in the 1.5~2.5, 6~11 GHz range, respectively. The EM wave absorption in Ni-Mn-Zn ferrite depends on magnetic loss, and adjusting µ' and µ'' spectra by Mn substitution or H field allows control of the EM wave absorption frequency.
