3、nse from IHS-,-,-By initially selecting a 9 Db margin, the probability of complying with the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) specification during system test is high.Implementation Method:Radiated and conducted emission specifications established for the customer are based on overall theoretical
4、 requirements which will meet the system specifications. The following design practices for subsystems allow for measurement error, combined effects, and manufacturing tolerance. This assures that an adequate margin will be realized when the final system performance is evaluated.In those cases where
5、 an outside agency imposes the allowable emissions levels, the included margins must be taken into consideration so that excessive constraints are not applied. When a specific requirement is identified as a major cost driver for design, margin allocations should be reviewed for possible relief.Condu
6、cted Emissions:Out-of-specification conducted emission on power, control, and signal lines can usually be controlled by a low-pass filter to reduce or eliminate unnecessary high-order harmonics. On digital circuits, a compromise must be made between the need for square pulses and the suppression of
7、high-order harmonics.Radiated Emissions:Radiated emission can be reduced by cancellation, cross polarization, or by either magnetic or electric field shielding.In some cases, radiated emission can be reduced by using a balanced design so that the external magnetic or electric fields are cancelled or
8、 cross-polarized at a particular sensor.Shielding can be added if the additional weight can be tolerated. Otherwise, increasing the separation distance between the emitter and a sensor may be adequate.Low frequency magnetic and electric field emissions must consider the inverse cube relation between

The risk of higher cost and the impact on the schedule, late in the program, must be weighed against the cost of providing a reasonable design margin during the design phase of a program.Related Practices: N/AAdditional Info: Approval Info: a71 Approval Date: 2000-04-06a71 Approval Name: Eric Raynora71 Approval Organization: QSa71 Approval Phone Number: 202-358-4738Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-
