Missile intersystem EMC testing

The intersystem EMC testing of missiles is described. Systems compatibility to a world wide electromagnetic environment is demonstrated by using mini computer control, broadband emitters, a unique data acquisition system, an infrared data link and a minicomputer data reduction system. Also, redesign information is acquired which will provide EM hardened missiles. The simulation facility used to provide an EM environment from 100 KHz to 15 GHz is described giving the emitter power output, modulations, sweep capabilities, log periodic and horn antenna, transmission line transverse electromagnetic mode test chamber and a minicomputer for close loop control of emitters, power and frequency controller, data acquisition and reduction.
