It includes the EMC/TEI+IPEST testing instrumentation and related EMC applications in other areas of environmental engineering and instrumentation. There is a definite need to encourage young electrical/electronic engineers to consider entering the field of environmental and EMC engineering. These fields are often absent in college curriculums, therefore, the young graduate engineer is unfamiliar in these areas and is reluctant to consider them as a career. A wide variety of engineering areas are involved in providing the required instrumentation to properly measure the various parameters encountered in EMC and other environmental testing. An area which is presently being expanded in the environmental test field is that of computer application in acquisition, processing and storing data. This activity provides openings for engineers with the ability to supply microprocessing, software, computer interface and data analysis. Hughes is presently investigating the possibility of installing a centralized desk top computer system in the environmental laboratory. Every instrument used in conjunction with this system will be accessible to software. The investigation includes the possibility of using this system universally throughout the laboratory functions. This paper describes these various testing activities and instrumentation applications in the environmental engineering department of the Hughes Ground Systems Group at Fullerton, California.","PeriodicalId":283257,"journal":{"name":"1979 IEEE International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1979-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115695317","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}

It is found that even though the lengths of these exposed sections of a shielded wire may constitute only a very small portion of the total line length, they may, depending on the terminal impedances of the shielded line, constitute the dominant coupling mechanism for the braided-shield cable. For situations in which pigtail coupling is dominant, the shield simply serves to reduce the exposed section of the interior wire from what it would be if no shield were present. Thus, the shield provides some reduction in coupling, but the effectiveness of the shield is shown to be as much as 30 dB less than it would be if the pigtail lengths were minimized. Experimental results are given to support these conclusions.","PeriodicalId":283257,"journal":{"name":"1979 IEEE International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1979-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127334822","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}

In order to relate these measurements, the transfer impedance concept can be used. Approximations relating surface transfer impedance to shielding effectiveness are derived for basic shield geometries. The independence of surface transfer impedance from geometry and incident field type is then exploited so that shielding effectiveness data for basic shield geometries may be extended to calculate the electromagnetic shielding for more general geometries.","PeriodicalId":283257,"journal":{"name":"1979 IEEE International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1979-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124801793","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 demonstrate that the computer program NCAP can also be used to calculate RFI effects in linear bipolar integrated circuits (ICs) of greater complexity. The IC reported upon is the μA741 operational amplifier (op amp) which is one of the most widely used ICs. The μA741 op amp was used as the active component in a unity gain buffer amplifier. The computer program NCAP was used to predict how amplitude modulated RF signals are demodulated in the op amp to cause undesired low frequency responses. The predicted and measured results for RF frequencies in the .050 to 100 MHz range are in good agreement. Contained in the paper is a complete set of NCAP parameter values for all the transistors in the μA741 op amp. These parameter values may be used as typical data for similar transistors in other bipolar integrated circuits.","PeriodicalId":283257,"journal":{"name":"1979 IEEE International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1979-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129314634","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}
