A medium-power high-frequency (HF) transmitter, installed in the Ben-Gurion (Tel-Aviv) International Airport was a source of concern, due to the possible radio frequency interference effects to essential airborne COMM/NAV systems, when most needed. An analysis based on a realistic scenario is presented, indicating that although the receivers' performance will be somewhat degraded, they will operate satisfactorily and provide a reliable COMM/NAV performance in flight and for landing. These results have been substantiated by actual measurements of COMM/NAV airborne receivers.<<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":"125986362","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}

These fields were used to measure the aperture impedance of hardened and degraded windows and doors of the electromagnetic pulse (EMP) testbed aircraft (EMPTAC). Measurements were made using wing root (normal SPEHS) as well as antenna excitation. Above 1 MHz. aperture impedance is dominated by the aperture's transfer inductance. Values of aperture impedance were comparable to, but did not exactly match, those measured using the aperture tester technique. The SPEHS technique has great potential because it facilitates shielding and conductive penetration measurements when the aircraft is pressurized and/or in flight.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":243730,"journal":{"name":"IEEE 1991 International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility","volume":"4 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":"124455484","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}

To evaluate the susceptibility of the ICs with open pins, the ratio of the output voltage of ICs with pins clamped through a series resistor to a power supply (no open pins) to the output voltage of ICs with open pins is proposed as an index, in the case that pulsive noise is applied to input line assigned to signal input. The influence of the open pins and these pins clamped through resistors to power supply on the noise immunity is quantitatively clarified. The cause of noise immunity degradation due to the existence of open pins and the cause of weakness of the clamping effect are detailed. The optimum method for clamping open pins is proposed.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":243730,"journal":{"name":"IEEE 1991 International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility","volume":"62 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":"121689465","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 test equipment used to generate the fields has parameters which vary as a function of frequency, such as antenna factors, cable loss, reflection coefficient of the measurement site, amplifier gain, etc. The output voltage of the signal generator is increased or decreased as the frequency is swept to compensate for these parameters and produce a constant-amplitude electric field. The method is implemented using a programmable spectrum analyzer, in which the voltage corresponding to the electric field measured in a characterization run is stored in a data file. Another program compares this voltage with that corresponding to the desired field strength, and stores the difference in a second data file. Using a third computer program, this voltage difference is used to control the input to a programmable signal generator to generate a constant-amplitude electric field.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":243730,"journal":{"name":"IEEE 1991 International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility","volume":"137 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":"134217275","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}
