Electromagnetic Susceptibility Testing Techniques for Airborne Equipment

Abstract

All airborne equipment is tested for self-generation of interference and for susceptibility to fixed levels of interference as defined by various military and industry specifications. The susceptibility tests fall into two broad categories, conducted and radiated, extending from 50 cps to 10,000 Mc, and often including special magneticfield and transient requirements. This paper will discuss the various types, methods, and limitations of the various tests.
