Test Level in Reverberation Chamber EMC Immunity Assessment Based on the Quantile to Average Ratio

Abstract

As more and more advanced electronics are incorporated into devices and vehicles, there is a need to improve and refine the test methods for performance assessment of electromagnetic compatibility. Traditional standards in reverberation chamber electromagnetic compatibility immunity assessment define the test level according to a calibration based on an average of maximum received electrical field probe readings. In this paper, we propose a converging approach based on the average, in combination with an additional offset to generate a quantile defined test level.
