A modern fighter aircraft is an electronics-intensive weapon platform with attendant EMI problems. The problem is exacerbated by the use of digital fly by wire flight control system, electronics nose wheel steering and brake management systems, and digital engine control systems. All these systems are safety critical and malfunctioning of these systems due to EMI from onboard electronics systems or due to external electromagnetic environment would lead to loss of aircraft. The Indian Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) which incorporates all the modern technologies has to be designed to ensure that the EMI problems are minimised. EMC engineering was adopted as part of the overall aircraft design, fabrication and testing. This includes formulation and implementation of a comprehensive EMI control plan incorporating various EMC guidelines at subsystem level and system level. Special EMC features include a hybrid grounding system using Single Ground Reference Point (SGRP) concept wherein the return current (power and signal) do not flow through the aircraft structure resulting in elimination of the troublesome common mode ground loop coupling at low frequencies. EMC analysis and prediction techniques were used at the early project definition phase for optimum location of all antennas to minimise mutual interference between various RF system onboard aircraft. Test Plan at LRU level conforming to MIL-STD-461C was strictly enforced and waivers were granted only after aircraft level analysis of the effect of waiver on other system. Aircraft level intra system and inter system EMC Tests are now in progress. As a result of systematic EMC analysis, design and test methodologies at various levels, very few EMI problems were observed during aircraft system integration and testing phase which is now in an advanced stage. However, a few problems which were discovered during the system integration were solved using the EMI Fix method. This paper describes the EMC design and analysis techniques adopted, the EMI tests conducted during the system integration phase of LCS, the EMI problems faced during the system integration, analysis of the problems and the solution to the EMI problems.","PeriodicalId":104361,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the International Conference on Electromagnetic Interference and Compatibility","volume":"85 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124446011","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As the sophistication/complexity of the system increases their \"transient vulnerability\" also goes up. Most of the semiconductor devices and other sensitive electronic equipment are easily damaged with transients of high amplitude with fast rise time, with threshold energy levels in the range of microjoules and millijoules, originating from inductive switching loads, nuclear EMP, lightning EMP and ESD. Hence, it is very essential to protect the airborne systems from these \"unanticipated change in voltages\" (transients), by hardening the system input power supply lines, I/O data and communication lines utilizing various transient suppression techniques.

Whilst this has revolutionized life of mankind, it has also posed the question of possible hazardous effects of electromagnetic fields (EMFs)-essentially associated with all current carrying circuits-on all living beings, including humans. The majority of studies of ill-effects of EMFs on humans have been revolving around the time varying (AC) EMFs of extremely low, or power, frequencies. However, no clear understanding of the cause-effect relationship of the phenomena has been established. In most cases the proper identification of source(s) of EMFs, their implications and basis of selection for a given study and experimental set-ups, as also the monitoring and measurement of fields, have not been properly discussed. This paper presents a comprehensive picture of the types of electric and magnetic fields at the power frequency-the causing factor. Then, the electromagnetic effect is explained in relation to the fundamental property of electromagnetic induction of all time-varying fields. A special feature of the paper is the details of a typical set-up used in an experimental study. The paper also lists the lacunae, and the various factors and parameters, that must be considered, especially in the Indian context, for fuller studies of EMFs vis-a-vis humans.","PeriodicalId":104361,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the International Conference on Electromagnetic Interference and Compatibility","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116856388","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work rectangular loop like filler is considered as a constituent of the filled conductive composite to provide conduction which results in absorption loss of the material to improve the SE value of the conductive composite. The SE value of RFCP is computed from the reflection loss which is determined from the reflection coefficient of the RFCP and absorption loss. Methods of computation of reflection coefficient and absorption loss are well described in this paper. The computed SE value is compared with the SE of available filled composite in which the fillers are randomly distributed and also with the regularly distributed flakes type filler. It has been found that in the microwave range RFCP exhibits a better SE value.","PeriodicalId":104361,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the International Conference on Electromagnetic Interference and Compatibility","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124807740","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For EMI tests on PCs the peripheral ports require to be loaded with the appropriate peripheral. The printer port of the PC requires to be loaded with a printer. Since the Centronics port has been standardized for PCs equipped with a parallel port for a printer, it is necessary to load this port with a Centronics printer. When a printer is connected to the port during the conduct of the EMI test, it is difficult to differentiate the EMI generated by the PC, from that generated by the printer. Consequently it is not possible to quantify the EMI generated by the PC without recourse to software routines. It therefore becomes necessary to terminate the ports without additional EMI being generated. This paper describes the design of a termination for the Centronics port which will reduce the possibility of improper interpretation of the measurements obtained through EMI tests on PCs. This technique also helps to obtain repeatable results while testing PCs for EMI.","PeriodicalId":104361,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the International Conference on Electromagnetic Interference and Compatibility","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128701752","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
