Commission E: Electromagnetic Environment and Interference

Description

Commission E emphasizes (1) the scientific theory and engineering aspects of effects associated with naturally occurring and artificially induced electromagnetic-interference phenomena and (2) electromagnetic compatibility theory and practice for applications. Its activities provide venues for exchanging theoretical and technological knowledge and economic considerations for achieving electromagnetic spectral harmony. In particular, Commission E promotes research and development in:

• Radio-communication systems (IoT, 5G, NextG, MIMO, MISO) in the presence of noise and/or interference;
• Radiofrequency systems (radar, passive sensing, calibration, surveillance, telemetry, etc.) in the presence of noise and/or interference;
• Radiofrequency spectrum, medium utilization, and convergence (cognitive and cooperative techniques, electromagnetic spectral harmony);
• Scientific basis and effects of natural and anthropogenic emissions on system performance;
• Electromagnetic modeling of systems and environments (artificial, composite noise, terrestrial and planetary noise of natural origin);
• Electromagnetic compatibility in computational electromagnetics, education, measurement technologies, standards, and radiation hazards;
• High-power electromagnetic effects of transients on electronic systems;
• Signal and power integrity.
