Tools and techniques for estimating high intensity RF effects

摘要

The authors describe some of the tools and techniques used forestimating and measuring coupling and component disturbance. A finitedifference-time domain (FD-TD) modeling mode code, TSAR (temporalscattering and response), used to predict coupling is described. Thiscode has the capability to quickly generate a mesh model to representthe test object. Some recent applications as well as the advantages andlimitations of using such a code are described. Some of the facilitiesand techniques developed for making low-power coupling measurements andfor making direct injection test measurements of device disturbance areoutlined. Some scaling laws for coupling and device effects arepresented. A method to extrapolate these low-power test results tohigh-power full-system effects is described
