The electromagnetic fields associated with HVDC converters and transmission lines constitute a unique environment for persons with implanted cardiac pacemakers. A measurement program has been conducted to assess the potential interfering effects of these harmonically rich fields on implanted pacemakers. The experimental procedures that were employed take into account the combined effects of the electric and magnetic fields. The effect of the resulting body current on the response of six pacemakers was assessed in the laboratory, using a previously developed model to relate body current to pacemaker pickup voltage. The results show that R-wave pacemaker reversion can be expected at some locations within the converter facility, but that a large safety margin for unperturbed pacemaker operation exists beneath the transmission lines.

In considering the problem of the response of a set of whips or monopole-type structures to an. EMP event, it is not always possible to neglect the interaction of nearby elements. Situations where mutual interaction must be considered occur where a large number of antennas are installed in close proximity as on board a ship and in circular arrays. Other possibilities are the "Antenna Farm" and a parking lot where there are light poles relatively near one another. This paper develops the theory for determining the open circuit voltages and short circuit currents for such a collection of "antennas" with special attention to the Circularly Disposed Array Antenna (CDAA) or Wullenweber. In most instances, the effects of interaction of nearby objects with an antenna in the presence of an EMP event may be neglected without serious error. However, in some cases, the field itself is quite well defined, more so than is the case of the "statistical event" used in most EMP assessments, and the elements of the victim field are sufficiently close that strong interactions may be expected. It is the latter situation which has recently become of interest and to which the methods outlined in this paper are directed. The solution is given in the frequency domain, but may be readily converted to the time domain by well-known methods.

This paper establishes test methods and procedures used to characterize the response of an Electroexplosive Subsystem (EES) when placed in an RF field in the frequency range of 250 kHz to 40 GHz. The complete test program consists of various tests required to collect the incremental results. The various tests may be performed in any order. RF impedance measurements are performed on each bridgewire of the electroexplosive device (EED) as a means of determining test frequencies.

Interactions between co-sited antennas on airframes can seriously limit the performance of control, guidance and communications systems. Much ground and in-flight data has been gathered and laboratory investigations have indicated where improvements can be made. Empirical formulae have been developed which are applicable for both in-band and out-of-band frequencies.

A study of the feasibility of developing a wire routing algorithm to minimize wire-coupled interference is discussed. An optimal wire routing algorithm is presented which generates a wire bundle (harness) configuration that minimizes the wire-coupled interference and satisfies certain physical constraints such as allowable bundle segment paths. The wire coupling model and the compatibility criteria are also discussed. It is shown that the optimal wire routing problem can be reduced to an iterative tree building algorithm. Implementation of the algorithm for a digital computer is briefly discussed and an example is presented.

Results of measurements of receiver intermodulation products are reviewed. A large number of products were identified, many of which could result in degradation of performance of communications receivers collocated with transmitters using the same or adjacent tuning ranges. Probable mechanisms are described and suggestions provided for ranking the relative significance of the various interactions.

NASA JSC and SAE Committee AE-4L have provided useful documents which define severe high-current test waveforms for lightning damage effects testing. The defined waveforms pose a challenge to laboratory simulation facilities when attempts are made to simulate the complex waveforms in their entirety. This paper discusses the need and impact of combined waveform testing. It also presents the results of successful efforts to combine a high-peak current, an intermediate current, a continuing current, and a high-current restrike.

The effects which corrosion can have on a gasketed joint is documented. This documentation is in the form of illustrating previous published work and the results of moisture and salt spray tests which were performed on gasketed joints. The results include conclusions and recommendations based upon the referenced previously published information and the testing reported in the paper. The recommendations list a series of gasket materials and surface plating which can be successfully used without experiencing excessive corrosion as a function of the required environment and level of shielding.

Currently there is considerable interest in developing a method to measure the radiated EM emissions and EM susceptibility of electronic equipment. Rectangular coaxial TEM cells developed at NBS for this purpose have been found to be quite satisfactory in establishing standard test field environment for such measurements. One must have a method to obtain the free space radiation characteristics of a test object from measurements taken inside such a cell. To do this we may consider a typical equipment under test (EUT) to consist of an electrically small box housing low frequency AC circuits. The current carrying conductors in each AC circuit may be replaced by equivalent electric/ magnetic dipoles with appropriate phases, and all such dipoles may be combined into a system consisting of three orthogonal electric and three orthogonal magnetic dipoles each excited with arbitrary phase.
