At NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), the Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) requirements are defined in the General Environmental Verification Specification (GEVS), GSFC-STD-7000 [1]. These requirements were based on the requirements of MIL-STD-461C [2]and the test methods of MIL-STD-462 [3]. GEVS EMI requirements were reviewed and revised over a one year period by the GSFC Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Working Group, using MIL-STD-461F [4] as a starting point and incorporating appropriate tailoring to address the specific needs of GSFC platforms. This paper describes the results of that working group effort to update the EMI requirements in GEVS for GSFC platforms.

Experimental setups used in electromagnetic compatibility tests can be used as platforms for fault injections. Faulting an equipment is a mean for a malevolent attacker to extract secret information. Compared to other fault injection setups, those based on EMC tests provide three advantages: non-invasivity, absence of synchronization, and frequency selectivity. This injection technique therefore allows the attacker to perform analysis with little knowledge of the targeted equipment. To assess the potential of this attack, a characterization of its effects is needed. This is the purpose of this paper. More precisely, our contributions are twofold: First of all, we observe that the faults are reproducible. Second, we show that the fault model is compatible with known attacks.

In this contribution a novel stochastic modeling strategy to analyze the influence of parameter variability on differential signaling over on-chip interconnects is presented. The method starts from an accurate computation of the differential line's per unit of length transmission line parameters, adopts a parameterized macromodeling scheme, and invokes the so-called stochastic Galerkin method (SGM). Parameter variability of the line itself and of the terminations are studied and compared to a traditional Monte Carlo (MC) approach, as such demonstrating excellent accuracy and efficiency of the proposed new technique. For the first time, an SGM is constructed for and applied to differential on-chip interconnects, and it is illustrated that this novel stochastic modeling strategy is very well suited to analyze common-mode noise induced by random imbalance of the line's terminations.

A model to substitute conductor surface roughness in printed circuit boards by a layer with an effective material (lossy dielectric) is proposed and tested using the 2D finite-element method (FEM) electromagnetics numerical simulations. The results of numerical modeling of a multilayered structure corresponding to a stripline transmission line with substituted roughness are compared with the experimental results obtained on a TRL-calibrated test vehicle with significant roughness on conductors made of a standard (STD)-roughness copper foil.

An electromagnetic susceptibility test in a reverberation chamber has been simulated numerically. The electromagnetic environment of the chamber was simulated using a previously introduced method that samples the plane wave spectrum of the random fields at fixed incidence angles determined from spherical sampling theory. The sampling scheme gives excitation fields that have ideal statistics over the volume occupied by the equipment under test (EUT) while reducing the computation time over traditional approaches. A refinement of the technique has been introduced that exploits the reciprocity principle to further reduce the computational load when simulating electromagnetically large EUTs with a limited number of test points of interest. Up to 1000 000 samples of the random chamber fields were considered. The simulations show that the current coupled onto a wire that is partially shielded by a conducting box with a large aperture exhibits strong resonances. The resonant frequencies appear to be determined mainly by the box dimensions, with aperture resonances also contributing. Statistical testing shows that the induced wire currents follow an ideal Rayleigh distribution independent of the frequency of the excitation.

Electrostatic field distribution measurement using a silicon micro-mirror array fabricated by Micro-ElectroMechanical Systems (MEMS) process has been presented. The deflection of each micro-mirror by electrostatic field was measured optically using a two-dimensional optical scanner and a position sensitive detector (PSD). The obtained electrostatic data showed good agreement with Coulomb's law and the system was applied to a human body model.

There are presently two (2) methods used by industry to grade the ability of EMI gaskets to seal seams in the chassis used to house Electronic equipment. These are the “Shielding Effectiveness” test method contained in MIL-DTL-83528 and the “Transfer Impedance” test method contained in SAE, ARP-1705. This paper describes (1) the development of the two methods for testing gaskets; (2) the faults and advantages of the two methods, (3) provides mathematical equations that can be used to predict the actual shielding obtained from a gasketed maintenance cover as a function of the transfer impedance of the gasketed cover; (4) illustrations that show that the shielding obtained from a gasket is a function of the joint surfaces as well as the conductivity of the gasket; (5) the effects a moisture soak has on the shielding offered by gasketed joints; and (6) the effect the storage in an office environment can have on the conductivity of a silver elastomeric gasket.

Electromagnetic properties of copper and Fe55Ni45 alloy (Permalloy) composite materials have been studied by measuring the relative complex permeability (μr = μr'- jμr”), and permittivity (εr = εr'- jεr”) spectra over the microwave range, as well as the a.c. electrical conductivity σac spectra. The variation of σac and εr with particle content shows the insulator-metal transition due to the percolation effect. The effective cluster model can be applied to the percolation effect in permittivity. The permeability spectra in Permalloy composites, which contain the percolated particles, can be affected by the eddy current effect. The permeability relaxation frequency of Permalloy composites shifts to the higher frequencies by the oxidation of embedded particle surfaces.
