These were found to correlate with the deviation in the height of the receive antenna in the site attenuation procedure relative to the theoretical height. It is recommended that the deviation of the receiver antenna elevation be calculated during site attenuation measurements. . This parameter may be used to quantify the anomalies of the OATS, give an objective measure of site to site repeatability and validate the volumetric site attenuation process.","PeriodicalId":93568,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility : [proceedings].

This lack of repeatability tends to make EM1 engineers reluctant to place too much reliance on shielding effectiveness measurements. This paper describes a new standard radiator that can be used in making shielding effectiveness measurements that are repeatable. This source is physically small, battery powered, and operates over a frequency range of 10 MHz to >1 GHz. The radiator produces a standard dipole radiation pattern, and radiates sufficient energy to test most shielded enclosures. Introduction The need to predict the performance of an EM1 shielded device has become more important than ever. As the speed of computers and other devices increase, existing 'rule-of-thumb' shielding designs are no longer sufficient. Traditional methods to quantify the effectiveness of designs to control EM1 are becoming outmoded. One of the major contributors to this problem is measuring the performance of shielded enclosures or boxes. It is becoming accepted throughout the industry that shielding effectiveness measurements have limited use. However, shielding effectiveness measurements continue to be used by many people as a measure of 'goodness' of a particular shielded enclosure or box. This paper will describe a new standard source that may be used in evaluating the shielding effectiveness of enclosures. It will also discuss some of the problems associated with shielding effectiveness measurements and show how this new radiator improves the the repeatability of measurements. This new standard radiator was developed 'ointly between the National Institute of Standards and Tecknology (NIST), the U.S. Navy, and Digital Equipment Corporation. This new radiator is physically small (IO cm diameter), battery operated, operates over a frequency range of 10 MHz to above 1 GHz, and has no metal connection between the radiator element and the control unit. Di ita1 has successfully used this radiator to correlate the &AI performance changes with enclosure modifications, for both large and small enclosures. Shieldina Effectiveness The term 'Shielding Effectiveness' is commonly misused by most engineers and managers. Shielding effectiveness is really a relative term, having meaning only when Mark Seth Seth Industries, Inc. two similar constructions are compared. Unfortunately, they have become very familiar with the term, and they feel very comfortable using shielding effectiveness values without considering the difference between the tested configuration and the target configuration. It is not uncommon for an engineer to measure the radiation from a particular circuit board, note the difference between the received level and the desired limit, and decide on the number of dB of shielding effectiveness needed to meet the desired limit. Since the presence of the shield will change the radiation source characteristics, and since the shieldi","PeriodicalId":93568,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility : [proceedings].

Surface transfer impedance measurements of multi-wire cables are generally less ideal than those of simple coaxial samples, but they are generally adequate for characterizing the overall quality of the cable's shield. At low frequencies or when the sample is electrically short, the measurements of multi-wire cable assemblies are equivalent to simpler samples. Geometric and material nonuniformities introduce uncertainties in the high frequency measurements. Since multi-wire cables have many possible configurations, it is important to remember to measure the properties of the shield, not the wires.","PeriodicalId":93568,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility : [proceedings].
