Modeling and Dielectric Characterization of EMI/EMC Ground Test for the Evaluation of the Electric Propulsion Thruster Emissions

摘要

A new EMI test facility for electric propulsion (EP) thrusters has been developed at Aerospazio Tecnologie. The facility consists of a cylindrical dielectric vacuum tank placed in a semi-anechoic room, connected through a gate valve to a Large Vacuum Test Facility. The electromagnetic characterisation of the facility, along with subsequent measures of the radiated emissions of a Hall effect thruster, is presented.
