Susceptibility of printed circuit boards in complex electromagnetic environment

Abstract

The susceptibility of printed circuit boards (PCB) in a reverberation chamber can be simulated by using the superposition of random plane waves to obtain the corresponding Hill's model. The aim of this work is to avoid simulating the entire reverberation chamber by 3D methods. Magnitudes and resonances measured in RC are compared to FDTD and MTL results with a Hill's model of plane waves transposed in the time domain. Then, we use this model to study the susceptibility of the printed circuit board (PCB).
