Susceptibility testing is done as in a normal TEM cell. Emission testing models test object radiation as due to an equivalent set of multipoles (in essence electric and magnetic dipoles). The multipole components are determined through a sequence of measurements. Once found, the multipole model can be used to predict test object radiation both in an ideal free space and above a perfect ground screen. In this manner time-consuming emission measurements, such as those required by FCC Rules Part 15 Subpart J or VDE 0871, can be simulated numerically.

First, the electromagnetic characteristics of the leak detectors were measured. Then the performance of the leak detectors was determined in the laboratory using a set of calibrated apertures whose shielding effectiveness had been predicted using polarizability theory. The leak detectors were used to measure the shielding effectiveness of hardened and unhardened apertures on a large commercial aircraft.

The onboard computer in the automated monitoring system is then used to analyze the data to determine frequencies which are being used. The frequencies found to be active are due to either illegal operation, interference problems, or data integrity problems in the database or the allocation plan. This method is intended for radio spectrum enforcement, since it identifies those radio frequencies, out of a much larger set, requiring further investigation, making the task of radio spectrum enforcement more manageable.

The choice of types of receivers and detectors that ensure a maximum probability of detection is considered.

The problem of estimating the overall shielding effectiveness when these subassemblies are placed inside the shielded enclosure is discussed. An optical black-hole (i.e. reflectionless aperture) principle is used to obtain estimates (within 10 dB) of the shielding effectiveness of enclosures having dimensions that are large compared to a wavelength. Empty enclosures are considered, as well as enclosures filled with subassemblies, groups of which are characterized as domains. Formulas are given for cavity buildup for an empty enclosure and for an enclosure containing a domain comprising of a cable between two subassemblies. A limiting case is discussed for which this approach may not apply.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":408694,"journal":{"name":"National Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131301660","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}

Its key features are a Tektronix 7912HB transient digitizer with 750 MHz single-shot bandwidth for voltage measurement, and a broadband time-domain electric-field sensor. The system is modeled in four parts: (1) a source of charge, (2) a spark gap, (3) a target, and (4) a voltage-transient digitizer. For a source, P. Richman's (1985) DUAL-RLC human body model was used. A zero-resistance spark gap is assumed. The target is essentially a current-to-voltage converter-typically, a distributed 2 Omega resistor. These were combined with a simple one-pole model of an oscilloscope to build a SPICE simulation model of the system. The body capacitance was set to an initial condition of 2 kV, and a transient analysis was performed to simulate the image, i.e., the displayed waveform, on the oscilloscope. A bandwidth of 750 MHz was seen to be adequate to observe both the risetime and the peak of the ESD current, given the above model parameters.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":408694,"journal":{"name":"National Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133858037","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}
