DO-160
The RTCA DO-160G is also known as ISO 7137. It is also the same as EUROCAE ED-14G.
RTCA DO-357 is the userguide that provides additional explanations regarding the contents of DO-160G.
The DO-160 revision G is released at December 8, 2010. It consists of several sections, numbered from 4.0 to 26.0.
RadiMation® also does support the 1 Hz on/off modulation. The 'Software Pulse modulation' setting can be used for such low frequency pulse modulations.
Section 18
Title of section 18: Audio Frequency Conducted Susceptibility
- Chapter 18.0: Audio Frequency Conducted Susceptibility - Power Inputs.
Testing in accordance with Section 18 can be performed by using RadiMation®.
Section 19
Title of section 19: Induced Signal Susceptibility
- Chapter 19.0: Induced Signal Susceptibility.
Several test procedures are described in Section 19. Of those tests, the following can be performed by using RadiMation® in accordance with Section 19:
- Magnetic fields induced into the equipment
- Magnetic fields induced into interconnecting cables
- Electric fields induced into interconnecting cables
Section 19 also contains a test procedure which cannot be performed by RadiMation® yet:
- Spikes induced into interconnecting cables
Section 20
Title of section 20: Radio Frequency Susceptibility
- Conducted Susceptibility is similar to MIL-STD CS114
- Radiated Susceptibility is similar to MIL-STD RS103
Testing in accordance with Section 20 can be performed by using RadiMation®. However the reverberation chamber procedure as described in chapter 20.6 is not yet fully supported by RadiMation®.
Section 21
Title of section 21: Emission of Radio Frequency Energy
- Chapter 21.4: Conducted RF emissions
- Chapter 21.5: Radiated RF emissions
Testing in accordance with Section 21 can be performed by using RadiMation®. However the reverberation chamber procedure as described in chapter 21.6 is not yet fully supported by RadiMation®.
Other sections
