The automatic electromagnetic field generating system
Abstract
The technical study and the design approaches adopted for the definition of the automatic electromagnetic field generating system (AEFGS) dedicated to EMC susceptibility testing are presented. The AEFGS covers the frequency range 10 KHz to 40 GHZ and operates successfully in the two EMC shielded chambers at ESTEC. The performance of the generators/amplifiers subsystems, antennas selection, field amplitude and susceptibility feedback and monitoring systems is described. System control modes which guarantee the AEFGS full operability under different test conditions are discussed. Advantages of automation of susceptibility testing include increased measurement accuracy and testing cost reduction.
