A review on techniques and modelling methodologies used for checking electrom...nooriasukmaningtyas
The proper function of the integrated circuit (IC) in an inhibiting electromagnetic environment has always been a serious concern throughout the decades of revolution in the world of electronics, from disjunct devices to today’s integrated circuit technology, where billions of transistors are combined on a single chip. The automotive industry and smart vehicles in particular, are confronting design issues such as being prone to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Electronic control devices calculate incorrect outputs because of EMI and sensors give misleading values which can prove fatal in case of automotives. In this paper, the authors have non exhaustively tried to review research work concerned with the investigation of EMI in ICs and prediction of this EMI using various modelling methodologies and measurement setups.
TIME DIVISION MULTIPLEXING TECHNIQUE FOR COMMUNICATION SYSTEMHODECEDSIET
Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) is a method of transmitting multiple signals over a single communication channel by dividing the signal into many segments, each having a very short duration of time. These time slots are then allocated to different data streams, allowing multiple signals to share the same transmission medium efficiently. TDM is widely used in telecommunications and data communication systems.
### How TDM Works
1. **Time Slots Allocation**: The core principle of TDM is to assign distinct time slots to each signal. During each time slot, the respective signal is transmitted, and then the process repeats cyclically. For example, if there are four signals to be transmitted, the TDM cycle will divide time into four slots, each assigned to one signal.
2. **Synchronization**: Synchronization is crucial in TDM systems to ensure that the signals are correctly aligned with their respective time slots. Both the transmitter and receiver must be synchronized to avoid any overlap or loss of data. This synchronization is typically maintained by a clock signal that ensures time slots are accurately aligned.
3. **Frame Structure**: TDM data is organized into frames, where each frame consists of a set of time slots. Each frame is repeated at regular intervals, ensuring continuous transmission of data streams. The frame structure helps in managing the data streams and maintaining the synchronization between the transmitter and receiver.
4. **Multiplexer and Demultiplexer**: At the transmitting end, a multiplexer combines multiple input signals into a single composite signal by assigning each signal to a specific time slot. At the receiving end, a demultiplexer separates the composite signal back into individual signals based on their respective time slots.
### Types of TDM
1. **Synchronous TDM**: In synchronous TDM, time slots are pre-assigned to each signal, regardless of whether the signal has data to transmit or not. This can lead to inefficiencies if some time slots remain empty due to the absence of data.
2. **Asynchronous TDM (or Statistical TDM)**: Asynchronous TDM addresses the inefficiencies of synchronous TDM by allocating time slots dynamically based on the presence of data. Time slots are assigned only when there is data to transmit, which optimizes the use of the communication channel.
### Applications of TDM
- **Telecommunications**: TDM is extensively used in telecommunication systems, such as in T1 and E1 lines, where multiple telephone calls are transmitted over a single line by assigning each call to a specific time slot.
- **Digital Audio and Video Broadcasting**: TDM is used in broadcasting systems to transmit multiple audio or video streams over a single channel, ensuring efficient use of bandwidth.
- **Computer Networks**: TDM is used in network protocols and systems to manage the transmission of data from multiple sources over a single network medium.
### Advantages of TDM
- **Efficient Use of Bandwidth**: TDM all

Using recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) for pavements is crucial to achieving sustainability. Implementing RCA for new pavement can minimize carbon footprint, conserve natural resources, reduce harmful emissions, and lower life cycle costs. Compared to natural aggregate (NA), RCA pavement has fewer comprehensive studies and sustainability assessments.
2. INTRODUCTION:
Material which is made from the extremely fine fibres of the Basalt,
which composed of Pyroxene, minerals plagioclase and Olivine.
Similar to the Carbon Fibre and the Fibre Glass, which is having better
Physico mechanical properties than the fiber glass, but which is being
significantly cheaper that the Carbon Fiber.
Used as the fiber proof textile in automotive industries and in the
Aerospace and can be used as a composite to produce the products such
as the tripods.
Basalt Rock fibers has no toxic reaction with the air or water, are
noncombustible and the explosion proof.
The Basalt base composites can be replacing steel and known reinforced
plastics. One Kg of basalt reinforces is equals to 9.6 Kg of the steel.
There seems to be something quite poetic in using a fiber made from the
natural rock to reinforce a material, which may quite reasonably being
described as the artificial rock.
Raw material for producing basalt fiber is the rock of a volcanic origin.
3. BASALT ROCK FIBRE - SCOPE
Low cost, high performance fibers offer the potential to solve the
largest problem in the cement and concrete industry, cracking and
structural failure of concrete.
Because of the higher performance (strength, temperature range, and
durability) and lower potential cost predicted for basalt fibers.
Have potential to cost effectively replace fiber glass, steel, Fiber,
poly propylene, poly ethylene, polyester, aramid and carbon fiber
products in many applications.

7. 3. Continuous Basalt Fiber:
Only one component of basalt, which is an environmentally safe.
Cost of basalt raw material is very low
There is no need for primary enrichment, fusion and Homogenization,
as all of those was made for free by nature; to make CBF basalt
should be heated up only one time; further processing of CBF into
materials does not require energy; it is made with application of cold
technologies.

8. 4. Basalt Reinforcing Mesh:
Basalt reinforcing mesh is designed for reinforcing road and
highway overlays to prolong the pavement lifespan by reducing
the effects of reflective cracking caused by traffic loading, age
hardening and temperature cycling.
Pavement life between maintenance can be prolonged
significantly.
Basalt reinforcing mesh makes it possible to reduce thickness of
asphalt concrete pavement up to 20%.

10. PROPERTIES OF BASALT FIBERS:
Thermal Resistance:
Basalt fibre has excellent thermal properties to that of glass fibres. It
can easily withstand the temperature of 12000C to13000C for hours
continuously, without any physical change, which is similar to S2
glass fibres and carbon fibres. Unstressed basalt fibres and fabrics can
maintain their integrity even up to 12500C, which makes them
superior compared to glass and carbon fibre.
Mechanical Strength:
Basalt fibre has tensile strength 3000-4840 M Pa, which is higher
than E glass fibre. It has higher stiffness and strength than E glass
fibre. Basalt fibre has slightly higher specific gravity, 2.6 – 2.8 g/cc,
than other fibres.
11. PROPERTIES OF BASALT FIBERS:
Chemical Resistance:
Basalt fibres have very good resistance against alkaline environment,
with the capability to withstand pH up to 13-14. It also has good acid
and salt resistance.
Corrosion and Fungi Resistance:
Basalt fibre has better corrosion resistance. It does not undergo any
toxic reaction with water and air or gases also. Moisture regain and
moisture content of basalt fibres exist in the range of less than 1%.
Basalt materials have strong resistance against the action of fungi and
microorganisms.
12. PROPERTIES OF BASALT FIBERS:
Abrasion Property:
Basalt material is extremely hard and has hardness values between 5 to
9 on Mohr’s scale, which results in better abrasion property. Even
continuous abrasion of the basalt fiber woven fabrics over the propeller
type abraders do not result in the splitting of fibre by fracture and
results only in breaking of individual fibres from
Woven structure which eliminates possibility of causing hazards.
Ecological Friendliness:
Basalt fibres have natural raw material, which is basalt rock it does not
cause any damage to the health. Basalt fibre has no biological hazards
and solves waste disposal problems. It does not clog incinerator as
glass. Hence, it is incinerator friendly.

23. MANUFACTURE:
Basalt fiber is made from a single material, crushed basalt, from a
carefully chosen quarry source
The basalt is simply washed and then sent to be melted down.
The manufacture of basalt fiber requires the melting of the quarried
basalt rock at about 1,400 °C (2,550 °F).
The molten rock is then extruded through small nozzles to produce
continuous filaments of basalt fiber.
There are three main manufacturing techniques, which are
centrifugal-blowing, centrifugal-multi roll and die-blowing.
The fibers typically have a filament diameter of between 9 and 13
µm which is far enough above the respiratory limit of 5 µm to make
basalt fiber a suitable replacement for asbestos.
They also have a high elastic modulus, resulting in excellent specific
tenacity—three times that of steel.
25. CONCLUSION:
Basalt can be used in manufacturing and made into fine, superfine
ultrafine fibres. Basalt is an alternative raw material for fibre forming
because of its relatively homogeneous chemical structure, its large scale
availability throughout the world, its freedom from impurities and of
course, its ability to form fibres in the molten state. Basalt Rock fibres
have no toxic reaction with air or water, are non-combustible.
When in contact with other chemicals they produce no chemical reactions
that may damage health or the environment.
So it is ecological friendly material. Basalt rock fibres have new range of
material in building construction, road construction, concrete industry and
agriculture field.
As per case study, concrete beam reinforced with BFRP bars achieved
tensile strengths that are consisting with the relevant properties of the
constituent materials.
Concrete beams reinforced with BFRP bars behave in ductile manner
exhibiting large deflection at failure.
Basalt is well known as a rock found in virtually every country round the
world. Basalt rock is more in India (especially in Maharashtra). The cost
of basalt is 10 times lower than that of raw materials for fiberglass. Basalt
is more available than any other raw material.
