Unification of Electromagnetic Specifications and Standards. Part 2. Recommendations for Revisions of Existing Practices

Abstract

This report documents Phase 2 of a program on unification of electromagnetic specifications and standards. During Phase 1, existing specifications and standards were reviewed against a general interference control mode. Alternative techniques to the incompatible ones identified in the review are discussed in this report. Analysis was supported by laboratory experiments in the areas of grounding techniques, cable shield terminations, and aperture coupling. Extensive discussions are included on the allocation of protection and methods of incorporating it in specifications for EMP, lightning, and other external sources. Areas that need further research are identified, including the need to characterize system-generated interference, and the issue of generalized standards and design guidelines. An appendix on bounding aperture coupling is also included.
