How to perform a MIL-STD-461 RS103, radiated susceptibility, electric field
This application note explains how the MIL-STD-461 RS103, radiated susceptibility, electric field test can be performed with RadiMation®
The exact requirements and test methods for the RS103 are specified in the MIL-STD-461.
Necessary equipment
The following devices are necessary to perform the CS109 test:
- Signal generator
- Amplifier
- Antenna
- Field probe
Define the test level
Create a correction file for the test level
First create a correction file in RadiMation® and specify the test level (See 'Table XI RS103 limits.').
Store the test level as correction file on disk.
This correction file with the test level will be used during EUT testing.
EUT Testing
EUT Testing equipment
The configuration of the eut test site should contain the following devices:
# | Device name | Tab in testsite configuration window | note |
---|---|---|---|
Signal Generator | Devices 1 | The signal generator to use | |
Amplifier | Devices 1 | The amplifier to use | |
Field Sensor 1 | Field probes | The field sensor to use |
Configure the EUT test
To perform the test on the EUT, create a radiated immunity multiband test.
Create a test setup configuration file for the following frequency ranges:
Frequency range | Polarization |
---|---|
2 MHz to 30 MHz | Vertical |
30 MHz - 18 GHz | Both (Horizontal and vertical) |
18 GHz - 40 GHz | Both (Horizontal and vertical) |
The radiated immunity multiband test, can be configured by selecting from the menu:
Start | The start frequency of the test. For example 2 MHz. |
End | The stop frequency of the test. For example 30 MHz. |
Frequency Step | The frequency step, see Table III. |
Dwell Time | The dwell time. |
Frequency Change Mode | Constant. |
Modulation | The modulation to use see below. |
Test equipment | The equipment needed for the radiated susceptibility test. |
Location Type | Antenna height, distance, polarization and angle. |
Test Level | Specify the Electrical field closed loop method test level. Also configured a "Variable field" |
Inputs | No inputs are needed. |
At TestLevel click Add to add a new Test level and select TestLevel - Electrical field closed loop method
Description | The description of the test level. |
Test level | Variable field, and specify the correction file for the applicable test level. When the level is one value this value can be specified with Constant field |
Tolerance | Specify the tolerance to use. |
Probes | Check Probe 1 to measure with the first probe. |
When all settings are configured press Start Test to run the test.
