An Overview of the Intrasystem EMC Analysis Program with Graphics

Abstract

It is well known that as computer programs become more complex, the user interface must be simplified to enhance the data interpretation. This paper will provide a brief overview of the Intrasystem Electromagnetic Compatibility Analysis Program called IEMCAP, and the improvements made by Kaman Sciences Corporation (KSC) to streamline the basic IEMCAP output. The composite electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) code will be referred to as the Intrasystem Electromagnetic Compatibility Analysis Program with Graphics (IEMCAP-G). The basic IEMCAP code and its output will be introduced, followed by a discussion of the improvements made to the IEMCAP output. The improvements include: output matrices, extraction of data, antenna position graphics, and line plots. These modifications aid the EMC engineer in determining potential electromagnetic interference (EMI) problems and their solutions.
