A Refresh on HIRF Equipment Susceptibility Above 8GHz

Abstract

This paper presents the results of a test campaign conducted on five aeronautical equipment up to 40GHz. The sensitivity of such recent equipment to radiated fields was assessed experimentally. The test conditions were engineered to produce equipment responses and upsets that are analyzed and put into perspective. The results and analysis do confirm the philosophy and spirit of the HIRF advisory circular AC20-158 [1].
