METHODS OF TESTING ELECTRONIC SYSTEM SUSCEPTIBILITY TO ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE

Three test methods for evaluating automotive electronic system susceptibility to interference caused by incident electromagnetic radiation are analyzed: the stripline, bulk current injection, and TEM cell methods. The three methods are examined in a simple test set-up. The relationship between HF source voltage, the current in the wiring harness, and the continuous voltage or the current, the same results are obtained in principle for the so-called Stripline and B.C.I. methods. The TEM cell gives different results. It is impossible to make any definitive judgment on all the parameters which will have to be subject of more in-depth studies. The test set-up must be more and more sophisticated so as to progress towards a real electronic unit.
