Three criteria are proposed, in the form of rules, as the basis for improved and better-standardized surge coupler/filters: surge the intended lines and no others; do not materially change the impedances driving EUT input lines; and allow at least some power follow.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":408694,"journal":{"name":"National Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility","volume":"30 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":"125342029","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 tests were conducted on a 22 ft full-sized electrically representative model of the pod/HF probe. Three types of tests were conducted. Long arc attachment tests (MIL-STD-1757 test method T01) were performed to determine the lightning arc entry angle. Direct effects testing (method T02) was conducted to examine the extent of damage which could result from a direct attachment of a high-current lightning strike to the pod. Indirect effects testing (method T05) was conducted to assess the voltage levels induced on equipment cables that result from lightning strike attachment. The waveforms applied, test article configurations, and current injection points were chosen to represent worst-case conditions. Test operations and test results are discussed.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":408694,"journal":{"name":"National Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility","volume":"26 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":"114650639","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}

Scattering of the station's signal can lead to field strengths in excess of those stipulated by the station's licence; free-standing towers scatter the signal effectively if the tower height is comparable to the quarter-wavelength. In the paper, means of suppressing the scattered field from a free-standing power line tower by installing a so-called detuning device on the tower are investigated. Several detuner designs are studied by measuring the base impedance of a scale model tower on a ground plane. The measured results were reproduced with a computer model of the tower and detuner. The computer model was then used to study scattering from the detuned tower to determine the degree of reduction in the scattered field and the bandwidth over which an adequate reduction is achieved. Some standard detuner designs and some novel designs are compared.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":408694,"journal":{"name":"National Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility","volume":"22 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":"127950006","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}

Examples are given from hazards analyses performed on solid rocket motors. The transferability of the finite element modeling method to other electrostatic applications is briefly noted. The finite element technique has shown significant advantages in: solution accuracy; simplifying interaction during problem setup; ease of obtaining solution; display and interpretation of results; efficient use of computing time; and decreasing total solution time.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":408694,"journal":{"name":"National Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility","volume":"42 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":"133497683","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}

Each of these standards contains technically contrasting procedures for determining maximum acceptable limits to radar emissions. In contrast with MIL-STD-469, the RSEC document to NTIA approaches the radar EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) problem from the perspective of relative limits on spectral emission bandwidth. A theoretical examination of compliance difficulties with MIL-STD-469 is presented and contrasted with the RSEC. The analysis uses the method of determining the bounds of the spectrum of a continuous-wave pulse formulated by S.J. Mason and H.J.

To expand the capability of IEMCAP in the SHF/EHF region, the frequency range of the field-to-wire model was increased to 40 GHz. Since the field-to-wire model must account for shielded cables as well as bare wires, experiments were conducted in a mode-tuned reverberation chamber to measure the shielding effectiveness from 1 GHz to 40 GHz of various types of cables. A wide variety of experimental parameters were surveyed. These included cable type (coaxial cables, twisted pairs), shielding (single and double shields), cable length, termination impedance, and shield termination condition (circumferentially bonded shield, pigtail, ungrounded shield). The shielding measurements were made well outside the normal operating region of the cables under test.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":408694,"journal":{"name":"National Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility","volume":"1 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":"114273002","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}
