Methodology for EMC Evaluation.
Abstract
This report is concerned with the development of a quantitative model for predicting and evaluating the effectiveness of electrical-electronic systems from the point of view of their electromagnetic compatibility characteristics. The prediction is based upon techniques for computing protection margins in all cases where undesired electromagnetic interaction between components is possible. Methods of controlling the interaction to achieve compatibility are discussed in terms of quantitative analytic models which are usable for establish limits and installation practices where appropriate. The report is divided into two parts. Part I discusses various models for generation of both conducted and radiated interference. Using these and associated susceptibility characteristics of receivers, appropriate coupling models are defined. From this work Part II develops a methodology for predicting electromagnetic compatibility 'protection margins.' As a part of this approach, reference is made to a set of 'nominal' conducted and radiated levels. Using these levels, many of the detailed computations that would otherwise be necessary can be avoided. (Author)
