This method, referred to as spread spectrum clock generation, or SSCG, is applicable to most microprocessor based systems. A unique waveform used to frequency modulate a digital clock signal results in a spectrum with sideband harmonics that are nearly uniform in amplitude when measured with an EMI receiver. This has the effect of spreading the energy of a discrete frequency harmonic over a wider bandwidth, thereby reducing the amplitudes of the harmonics. Attenuation as high as 13 dB is presented using an experimental setup, an actual SSCG integrated circuit, and theoretically computed results.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":154914,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121485990","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}

IEMCADS is a computer-aided below decks room arrangement module that will be integrated into the EMENG system. EMENG will deliver enhanced capabilities for preventing electromagnetic interference (EMI) early in the ship design process.

This dependency reduces the measurement repeatability.

This method uses band limited white Gaussian noise which is upconverted by performing double sideband, suppressed carrier modulation with an RF or microwave signal. This method is performed in a high Q chamber so that the test sample is uniformly radiated on all sides by the field as in a mode-stirred chamber. Testing was performed on an ARC-182 radio with the IBS method in order to determine if the IBS method could find susceptibilities on equipment with extremely narrow failure bandwidths. The results of the testing were compared with the results of an RS103 test performed in accordance with MIL-STD-462D on the same ARC-182 radio.
