A pattern dependent NSA equation is developed incorporating antenna pattern factors for any types of antennas for which mathematical expressions of the patterns exist. For resonant dipoles, biconicals and log-periodics the decibel differences from the existing standard have been found to be small, leading to increased confidence in the utility of the present standard.","PeriodicalId":312828,"journal":{"name":"1999 IEEE International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatability.

Testing may be for immunity or for the determination of the vehicle's antenna factor in the 150 kHz to 6 MHz frequency range. For this frequency range the environmental E-field is vertically polarized as is the TEM cell field, therefore the TEM cell should be useful for vehicle antenna factor measurements. A method is presented for overcoming the one third height 'rule-of-thumb' for TEM cells which allows useful antenna factor measurements and an estimation of the field the vehicle is subjected to in immunity tests. The DUT causes an impedance discontinuity and the estimation of the corrected field strength, based on the decrease of the 'free space' between the septum and the enclosure, is evaluated.","PeriodicalId":312828,"journal":{"name":"1999 IEEE International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatability.

These conductors can either be in the presence of electromagnetic sources or also be part of the source itself. The current is expressed in terms of a scattering expansion which turns out to be an expansion in the curvature of the conducting geometries. This geometric formalism allows one to perturbatively determine characteristic parameters of arbitrary transmission line structures.","PeriodicalId":312828,"journal":{"name":"1999 IEEE International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatability.

In order to find out typical magnitudes of this margin coupling measurements to the interior of several objects have been carried out both in mode-stirred and anechoic chamber (AC). The results show that the maximum coupling in the anechoic chamber is 10-15 dB higher than the coupling measured in the mode-stirred chamber. Also, the assumption of isotropic field conditions in the mode-stirred chamber is strongly supported by the measurements. Finally, it is shown that the statistical distribution of the equipment's internal field when rotating the stirrer in an MSC is not the same as when the angle of incidence is varied in an AC.","PeriodicalId":312828,"journal":{"name":"1999 IEEE International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatability.

Measured fields tended to be similar to free-space predictions, except (1) within regions closer than about 7 m from the source, (2) within a below ground corridor, and (3) within a wood-furniture-filled corridor. Generally, the results supported the usage of the free-space minimal-separations, except in below ground corridors.","PeriodicalId":312828,"journal":{"name":"1999 IEEE International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatability.

In this paper, the MLFMA is used to predict the input impedance of a modules-on-backplane structure. Experimental results are used to validate the algorithm. Comparison with other numerical techniques (the classical method of moments, the finite element method, and the finite-difference time-domain method) shows that the MLFMA is the most effective technique in solving large-scale EMC problems.","PeriodicalId":312828,"journal":{"name":"1999 IEEE International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatability.
