Broadband antennas like logperiodic and biconical antennas are used to receive radiated emissions from equipment under test for frequency range 30 MHz to 1000 MHz. This paper presents a case of calibration of antenna factors of 2 sets of broadband antennas (biconical and logperiodic antennas) and 1 set of tunable dipole antennas and their confirmation through measurement of site attenuation of 10 m open area test site using the same. The standard site method as described in ANSI C 63.5-1988 with modification has been used to compute the antenna factors for the frequency range 30 MHz to 1000 MHz. Instead of the attenuators mentioned in ANSI 63.5, an alternative method has been devised to determine site attenuation A1, A2 and A3, thereby eliminating the inaccuracies of the attenuators. The values obtained are found to be within +/- 2 dB of that given by the manufacturer of the antennas. The validity of calibration data has been further confirmed by measuring the normalized site attenuation of a 10 m open area test site of ERTL(E) for a frequency range 30 MHz to 1000 MHz employing these broadband antennas, following the procedure laid down in ANSI C63.4-1992. The results obtained are very encouraging and accurate. They are found within +/- 1.2 dB and +/- 2.4 dB of theoretical values in both horizontal and vertical polarizations respectively.

An Integrated EMC Mobile Test Facility (IEMTF) has been designed and developed for system level testing of an aircraft in lieu of dedicated Anechoic Test Facility (ATF). This facility essentially consists of Radiated Emission (RE), Radiated Susceptibility (RS), Bulk Current Injection (BCI), and Ground Plane Interference (GPI) test systems, housed in a mobile shielded shelter. In this paper the system level EMC requirements for aircraft testing have been derived from MIL-STD 464 and related documents. Accordingly the IEMTF has been designed to meet these requirements in the absence of a sophisticated ATF. The details of various test systems with their performance and calibration procedures required in the Open Air Test Site (OATS) for aircraft level EMC testing has been critically discussed in this paper.

We present a novel and simple method of deducing the resonant frequencies for a circular patch antenna mounted on a sphere. A particular case in this class of antenna namely hemispherical-circular antenna (/spl theta/=90 deg.) is investigated. It is shown that dominant mode resonance is tuned up in frequency by approximately 20%. The validity of this method is also evaluated. This class of MSA can be a very useful tool for EMC applications since this has a significantly high polarisation purity compared to other conformal antennas like planar circular patch antennas.

Calibrated antennas are must for a certified EMC laboratory. A study has been conducted for calibrating antennas in the frequency range 200 MHz-1 GHz, which are needed for 1 meter radiated emission testing-RE02 of MIL-STD-461C. Measurements were conducted to ascertain the antenna factor for conical log spiral antenna by adapting 'Identical Two Antenna Method of calibration'. These measurements were conducted in the frequency range of 200 MHz-1 GHz. The test results indicate the measured antenna factors within +/- 1 dB of the nominal values supplied originally by the manufacturer.

Performance of an electronic system is generally believed to be a function of components, circuit layout and enclosure design, i.e. hardware dependent. But this is not entirely valid for embedded systems. For such systems, in addition to hardware factors, design of firmware also impacts EMC performance of the system. This paper examines such firmware dependencies of system EMC performance and offers suggestions on software design for embedded systems for better EMC performance.

The external surfaces of a spacecraft exposed to Earth's magnetospheric plasma can build up differential voltages which can result in an electrostatic discharge (ESD). This discharge may induce transient electromagnetic interference (EMI) in the electronics circuitry and may give rise to switching anomalies or system failure under certain environmental conditions. This paper outlines the development of circuit model of a spacecraft for surface charging studies by assuming Maxwellian distribution function to represent the plasma particles in space. Analytical expressions for charging and discharging current sources of the geosynchronous Earth orbit (GEO) plasma have been obtained. A numerical solution procedure using method of moments and triangular patch modelling to determine the capacitance of conducting objects in free space has been developed. Differential equations of spacecraft charging have been derived and the surface charging of INSAT-2E spacecraft has been simulated.

We are aware of the near end and far end crosstalk in general. However, in this paper a general study is made of crosstalk induced on twisted pair transmission lines by a simulated power line type noisy source. A laboratory study of crosstalk induced by power parallel lines on the twisted pair transmission line is made. The influence of the ground plane location on the above crosstalk due to capacitive coupling is brought out both practically and theoretically. The capacitance is theoretically calculated by applying the finite element method (FEM) to the electric field intensity. Theoretically calculated results are almost in agreement with laboratory experimental results. It is concluded that closer the twisted pair transmission line to the ground the lesser is the induced crosstalk.

This article describes how to gain a noise tolerable computer process synchronisation (e.g. a mutual exclusion problem in a real time system). The algorithm ensures the avoidance of busy wait for processes while sharing common resources such as disk drive, floating-point processor etc., without using any hardware fixes to control noise/EM disturbances. This software technique is a very useful tool in designing system with high fault tolerance and system reliability.
