In the 1981 presentation, ESD impulse waveforms were re ported as measured from two conditions: Human-direct; and, human through small hand-held metallic objects that were intervening in the discharge path. Using a co m patible measurement approach, this effort expands the study to be inclusive of metallic-mobile furnishings found typically in the office and/or data processi.ng environment, such as desk chairs and push-carts. Cursory sample measurements were additionally taken to illustrate impulse waveform variability at selected amplitudes, describing different effects due to different Electrostatic Discharge locations on the surfaces of a desk chair. Other sample measurements provide indication of other impulse results if the desk chair were to be replaced by a stool-type \"lab chair\". As in the previous publication, the conceptual goal of this effort was to develop information derived from actual ESD events that would facilitate the design of an ESD test generator which could produce impulse waveforms in reasonable but realistic simulation of actual ESD events for these ESD \"furnishings\" event conditions. Retrospective Overview As reported in the 1981 publication, the impulse charac teristics of ESD dynamically varied as the initializing (charge) amplitude was varied. The dramatic alterations encountered in the waveshapes as the initializing level was incrementally increased confirmed the hypothesis that waveform measurements derived from incrementally varied amplitudes were required to fully characterize the ESD event continuum. Generally, it was found that the impulse waveforms derived from lower-level initial amplitudes exhibited ultra-fast risetimes between 200 picoseconds (the limit of the measurement capability) and 500 picoseconds, while the impulse waveforms derived from higher static levels exhibited risetimes in the approximate range between one nanosecond and several tens of nanoseconds. The waveform components providing the ultra-fast risetimes were also found to be confined to exceptionally small pulse widths, typically in the area of a few hundred picoseconds, developing intense currents between the general range of a few tens of Amperes to over 100 Amperes. The more-conventional ionization-based impulses developing risetimes of one nanosecond (or more) exhibited peak currents up to a few tens of Amperes with base widths up to approximately 500 nanoseconds, although typical values were usually less than 200 nano seconds. The development o f multiple impulses within the framework of what was considered a 'single' ESD event was investigated in the previous effort, as was the duty cycle (or, periodicity) among events within the time envelope of 'one' event. Although the suggestion that ESD events were encountered with risetimes as fast as 200 picoseconds was reco","PeriodicalId":280076,"journal":{"name":"1982 IEEE International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility","volume":"154 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1982-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128201436","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 objective of this paper is to describe such a method developed recently at the National Bureau of Standards, Boulder, Colorado. Basically, an unintentional leakage source is con sidered to be electrically small, and may be charac terized by three equivalent orthogonal electric and magnetic dipole moments as shown in figure 1. When an unknown source object is placed at the center of a transverse electromagnetic (TEM) cell shown in figure 2 , its radiated energy couples into the fundamental waveguide mode and propagates toward the two output ports of the TEM cell. With a hybrid junction inserted into a loop connecting the cell output ports such as that given in figure 3, one is able to measure the sum and difference powers and the relative phase between the sum and difference outputs. Systematic measure ments of these powers and phases at six different source object positions, based on a wel 1-developed theory, are sufficient to determine the amplitude and phases of the unknown component dipole moments, from which the detailed free-space radiation pattern of the unknown source and the total radiated power can be de termined. Results of an experiment using a spherical dipole radiator are given to illustrate the theory and measurement procedure.
