MEASUREMENT AND ANALYSIS OF IGNITION INTERFERENCE - 150 KC TO 10 KMC

Abstract

Previous work in measurement and analysis of ignition radiation is summarized. Results are given for screen room measurements of a mock-up ignition system over the frequency range of 150 kc to 10 kmc. Resistive high-tension leads are compared with regular low resistance ignition leads. Measurements were also made on a 1962 model car over the same frequency range and are compared with a proposed International Limit for ignition interference. Waveforms of current flow through one spark plug and spectrum analyzer displays of radiation are shown and discussed. Recommendations are made for ignition interference limits. (Author)
