Simple susceptibility model of two wires to predict EM wave pickup in an EMI/EMC environment

Abstract

EMI is everywhere, inside and outside of all electrical equipment. Man-made EM1 is on the increase daily, due to the increased use of electrical and electronic equipment. The successful detection and elimination of EMI require a systematic search for EM1 sources as well as knowledge of interference susceptibilities of the equipment. Familiarity with the environment in which the equipment will work as well as possible alternative environments are fundamental to effective EMI reduction to a required minimum level. In this paper we designed a simple two wire model to predict EMI when this model is illuminated by a distant source antenna. The proposed model is being fabricated at Indian Institute of Technology, India. Measured and simulated results are shown. Simulations were being carried out at Kalpana Chawla Space Technology Cell, IIT Kharagpur, India.
