Coupling of these fields to electronics can cause upset and/or burnout of components. New military systems require surviv ability to EMP in a vein similar to other environmental con siderations. Hardening/protection of electronics is accom plished with the use of a variety of specialized components and mitigation techniques. This presentation addresses the develop ment and fielding of an instrumentation system and an improved test methodology for assessing the EMP hardness of a military system or facility. Proper operation of most EMP protective measures are not verifiable during normal operations, and thus require special hardness surveillance (HS) activities as a part of hardness maintenance. The development of a cost-effec tive EMP HS measurement set is the culmination of a number of Government and industry EMP testing programs extending over a period of more than a decade. The MIDAS-700 is a self-contained, mobile, integrated data, acquisition system which advances the EMP HS technology. It was specifically developed as a flexible measurement set which can evaluate all types of EMP protec tion measures, rapidly, a t low cost and with a minimum of downtime on the system under test. A MIDAS-700 is currently deployed in Europe in support of a NATO test program to perform verification testing, and to establish hardness maintenance baselines on key NATO groundbased facilities. This presentation includes an account of the operational characteristics of MIDAS-700 during this exten sive set of surveillance tests. Background Recent modifications to Department of Defense policy regulations require that military systems which perform critical missions in nuclear conflicts must include survivability and hardness features. Most newly developed and deployed systems include nuclear survivability as part of their performance specification. Once a system is deployed, commanders may be required to provide periodic evaluations of the level o f surviv ability of equipment for which they are responsible. Nuclear detonations produce short-lived, intense (e.g., 50 kV/m) electrom agnetic fields over very large area. Unlike the thermal and blast e ffects of a detonation which cause damage over ranges of a few miles, EMP effec ts from a high-altitude detonation may be experienced hundreds to thousands of miles from the point of detonation (Figure 1). The EMP fields generate currents and voltages which can cause disruption, upset and component damage within electronic systems. Most new military systems require survivability to EMP. Hardening or protection of electronics is accomplished with a variety of specialized components and mitigation techniques which include electromagnetic shielding, filtering and transient protection. However, these hardening measures can be degraded during the deployment and operation of a system. Degradation can result from w","PeriodicalId":244612,"journal":{"name":"1986 IEEE International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1986-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122709226","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 system consists of a square horn lined with high loss wedge absorber driven by a tapered horn section lined with flat high loss absorber. The ta pered section is fed by an electrically small source antenna and the square section houses a directional probe antenna which is moved longitudinally along the axis of the horn to detect the standing wave created by the electromagnetic wave reflecting from the test sam ple mounted in the end of the square horn and the uniform incident wave formed by the tapered horn at the source end.

The synthesised modulation envelope at the fundamental tuned frequency of culprit emitter is also transferred to harmonically/sub harmonically related frequencies of culprit emitter to construct the composite emission spectra. The slope for fall of power per decade for harmonics/ sub harmonics is synthesised. The value of spurious emission level taken from technical literature is modified to take care of worst deviation. In an exactly similar fashion the victim receptor response spectra is synthesised. The culprit emission spectra and victim response spectra are graphically convolved to find the off-frequency rejec tion potential of the victim receptor to unwanted signal. For many emitter/receptor combination the F-D templates are super imposed for predicting compatibility. The model is parameter sensitive. The synthesi sed slopes when replaced with measured slopes will reduce the statistical deviations. The model utilises the statistical descriptions of the individual contributors of interference, Peculiarities of Co-Site Situation And Mobile Tactical Environments The fluid situations in mobile battle field scenario coupled with probabilistic nature of various parameters of potential sources of Electromagnetic Interference make the analysis and prediction task very cumbersome and complex. The complexity is increased further by the very fact that it is difficult to pin-point exact location of emitters/receptors, antenna heights, antenna beamings and power output in case of variable output facility provided to counter EGM. Hence the analysis and prediction by dynamic changes as a result of contingency planning when superimposed on planned connectivity will have to be based on worst case analysis. The worst co-site problem implies that antennas may be in each others fresnel region or induction field. The high power environments (like radars) complicate the situation by making receptors and emitters to operate in non-linear mode. The worst case co-site situation and high power environments result in interactions like Intermodulation, Desehsitization, Cross Modulation and Spurious emissions/responses. All these interactions contribute to inter rering power levels which vary considerably, necessitating statistical approach. These interactions can occur simultaneously thus complicating the Analysis problem. The front-end-burn-outs, case penetrations and radiations from local oscillator are not considered. The above mentioned problems were catalytic in evolving a composite spectra approach for analysing complex pro blems and predicting frequency-distance criteria for Electromagnetic Compatibility.
