Abstract?In this paper, we present an elegant method to include the prediction of radiated disturbances in electronic circuit-type simulators that allows performing electromagnetic (EM) radiation studies in both time and frequency domain. Indeed, circuit simulators are generally used to simulate conducted emissions for EM interferences analysis. Then, co-simulation based on numerical method platforms have to be investigated in order to consider radiated emissions. In the present work, the aim is to present a forward complementary tool that helps considering EM Compatibility (EMC) constraints from an early design stage by considering and generating radiated field distributions. The proposed method has been implemented in VHDL-AMS language using a top-down design flow. Determination of EM field emitted from the studied?structure has been carried out analytically using expressions of radiated magnetic field at the level of each trace of the circuit. This method has been validated by performance comparisons between simulation results and measurements above a rectangular current loop. In a perspective of predicting and reducing?electromagnetic interferences, integration of the developed generic module in any development and simulation environment, is an efficient solution to build a combined platform for both conducted and radiated emissions at the same time.

The journal is currently an open access journal.
The articles receive both rigorous peer-review and expedited online publication.
The journal encourages young researchers to submit their unpublished papers.
The authors retain their article’s copyright.
The authors retain publishing rights without restrictions.
Thus, authors may use their own articles for the following non-commercial purposes without asking our permission (and subject only to acknowledging first publication in Journal of Communications Technology, Electronics and Computer Science and giving a full reference or web link, as appropriate).
Authors cannot submit a manuscript for publication to other journals simultaneously. It is a waste of valuable resources because editors and referees spent a great deal of time processing submitted manuscripts. It is also unethical to republish similar research articles (text/figures/tables) again because journals have limited page space and it most likely violates copyrights which have already been transferred to the first journal. Therefore, all journals require a signed author's copyright transfer agreement stating the originality of the research work submitted through a manuscript. As stated above that authors should submit original, new and unpublished research work to the journal. The ethical issues such as plagiarism, fraudulent and duplicate publication, violation of copyrights, authorship and conflict of interest are serious issues concerning ethical integrity when submitting a manuscript to a journal for publication.
The contents of papers are the sole responsibility of the authors, and publication shall not imply the concurrence of the Editors or Publisher.
