The magnetic components of the fields produced by mag netic and electric dipole antennas are calculated for various geometries which are used in making measurements of elec tromagnetic emissions at frequencies below 30 MHz. When the effects of a perfectly-conducting ground plane are included, the calculated fall-off with increasing antenna separation agrees very closely with measurements made at an open-field site using loop antennas.

Abstract : Spurious response EMI for the front end of a superheerodyne receiver follows a simple mathematic formula; however, the application of the formula to predict test frequencies produces more data than can be evaluated. An analysis technique has been developed to graphically depict all receiver spurious responses usig a nomograph and to permit selection of optimum test frequencies. The discussion includes the math model used to simulate a superheterodyne receiver, the implementation of the model in the computer program, the approach to test frequency selection, interpretation of the nomographs, analysis and prediction of receiver spurious response EMI from the nomographs, and application of the nomographs. In addition, figures are provided of sample applications. This EMI analysis and prediction technique greatly improves the Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) test engineer's ability to visualize the scope of receiver spurious response EMI testing and optimize test frequency selection. Keywords include: EMI; Receiver spurious response; EMC; and Nomographs.

The microwave antenna temperature due to the earth in the satellite antenna beam has been computed for a series of longitudes for a satellite in geostationary orbit and for frequencies of 1 to 50 GHz. An earth-coverage beam is assumed for simplicity, but the technique is applicable to arbitrary beam shapes. Detailed calculations have been performed to account for varying land-ocean fractions within the field of view. Emission characteristics of the earth's atmosphere and surface are used with an accurate radiation transfer program to compute observed brightness temperatures. The value of 290 K commonly used for antenna temperature in satellite communication noise calculations is overly conservative, with more realistic values lying in the 60 to 240 K range.

For each new deep-space mission it is necessary to select the radio frequencies that will be used for uplink and downlink communication. The frequency selection has the objective of avoiding or minimizing the possibility of radio interference between existing and planned missions. This paper presents a comprehensive procedure for the selection of frequencies for deep-space communications. The procedure includes the possible effects of several existing missions on a new mission. This is shown through an example of frequency selection of a new National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) deep-spce mission using actual mission data.
