The type of system, the compliance specifications, and other pertinent technical and management information are described. The most significant ground rules applied to the analysis were redundancy of analytical approaches and independent review of all phases of the activity.

This is accomplished by examining some of the most successful codes developed for EMC to study their different modeling techniques. Students are introduced to the physics and functionality of several electromagnetic analysis codes which can be useful in EMC analyses.

The CE07 (EMI) specification requires the measurement of short duration voltage transients produced by equipment onto their power supply lines. In particular, the effects of various types of line impedance stabilization networks (LISNs) on the measurement process are investigated. Time domain responses using three different LISNs are obtained for those cases in which the equipment being tested or the power source generated fast voltage transients. The advantages and disadvantages of using LISNs in the test process are discussed, as well as those test approaches that can avoid erroneous test results. The specialized test equipment needed to perform the test is discussed. The results presented can be used to determine the LISN configuration which produces the minimum amount of measurement distortion.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":243730,"journal":{"name":"IEEE 1991 International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129822770","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}

The construction of the field cell is illustrated schematically. Measurements of emissions from a standard source made in a stripline TEM cell show good correlation with measurements of the same source made in a semi-anechoic chamber. The stripline TEM cell has several practical advantages over the coax TEM cell for preliminary measurements of electromagnetic emissions. These include lower cost, more convenient access, smaller size for a given working volume, and greater uniformity of response across the width of the cell. Its major disadvantage is greater susceptibility to ambient signals, but this can be overcome by using a shielded or partially shielded room.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":243730,"journal":{"name":"IEEE 1991 International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130352934","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}

The surface transfer impedance and the EMP response were measured using the procedures of MIL-C-24640 and MIL-C-85485A, modified to accommodate cable assemblies rather than samples of cables. Samples that used a metal band method of braid termination and samples that used a Metcal solder strap braid termination were evaluated and compared.
