The electromagnetic compatibility design of the orbital test satellite
Abstract
The design and specifications to ensure electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) on the Orbital Test Satellite are discussed. The satellite system is described and the overall EMC control philosophy outlined. The design of the power subsystem, the bonding requirements, and the harness design are given. The system was analyzed by mathematical modeling on a computer using SEMCAP (Specification and EMC Analysis Program). Testing philosophy and results are given, which outline major problem areas encountered. An overall assessment of the margins obtained are presented. The impact on the project of electrostatic charging is described briefly.
