AFOSR COE- Science of Electronics in Extreme Electromagnetic Environments
Abstract
The AFOSR/AFRL Center of Excellence on the Science of Electronics in Extreme Electromagnetic Environments was awarded in 2015 to the University of New Mexico. Predicting the effects of extreme electromagnetic interference (EEMI) on complicated modern CMOS-based computer electronics is a very challenging problem. Even in well-controlled laboratory experiments, there exist several variables that fall outside the domain of accessible knowledge of the target system. For instance, in the case of a typical personal computer, which comprises several electronic subsystems from different equipment manufacturers, the proprietary nature of the manufacturers integration methodologies, subsystem operation, and interaction with other subsystems, curtails detailed understanding of the interaction of EEMI energy with electronics. Manufacturers are often even more tight-lipped about the specifics of the input conditions that drive their products to erroneously behave outside of their intended operating margins and impact software execution. Unfortunately, this happens to be at the crux of understanding the EEMI-induced disruption in computer electronics.
