An EMC design approach for integrating COTS equipment into anexisting military aircraft

摘要

Using commercial off the shelf (COTS) computing equipment inmilitary aircraft applications may cause harmful electromagneticinterference (EMI) to other on-board systems, including communicationand navigation equipment. An electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) designapproach to successfully integrate COTS equipment into an existingmilitary aircraft is described. The following system design anddevelopment steps are outlined: (1) requirements definition, (2)preliminary EMC analysis, (3) EMC control measure design, (4) COTSequipment EMI characterization tests, and (5) system level EMCverification
