Compliance Emissions Measurements to MIL-STD-461G Using FFT Receivers 

Jason Smith, President 

Absolute EMC 

MIL-STD-461G now lists receivers with Fast Fourier Transforms (FFT) technology as acceptable to be used for final measurements. There are some caveats to using this technique. While this technology has the potential to reduce testing time and efforts greatly, while improving overall results, one has to understand it to implement it correctly.  

Jason will discuss what is required to make full compliance measurements using an FFT receiver. This presentation is for anyone performing MIL-STD testing on their products to understand how testing is performed correctly. This is not only limited to military applications as the basic techniques may also be applied to commercial emissions testing.

CALL FOR PAPERS: The 22st Annual DoD Electromagnetic Environmental Effects (E3) Program Review will be held 01-05 April 2018 at Naval Weapons Station (NWS) Charleston in Charleston, SC. Abstracts for the “General Session” are now being accepted. Abstracts should be no longer than one page. Abstracts should be submitted to disa.usna.os.mbx.e3coordinator@mail.mil.  Twenty-minute timeslots will be allocated for presentations.  The General Session will accommodate unclassified presentations that are approved for public release.  Presentations will have to go through the individual’s agency for PAO approval. 

The Program Review is an information exchange forum for DoD Components, the Federal Government, and Industry E3 and Spectrum Management and related professionals to collaborate, network, and meet to discuss policy and regulations, acquisition trends, operational supportability, and emerging technology. It also features dozens of technical presentations, several training seminars, and many working groups, ad hoc meetings, and exhibitions. The proposed theme of this year’s event is TBD.  Presentations in any of the following topics, and others, will be acceptable. 

• JEMSO     
• Modeling & Simul./Database Tools 
• Electromagnetic Environmental Effects     
• Spectrum Management  
• Radiation Hazards     
• Emerging Spectrum Technology 
• Direct Energy Weapons     
• E3 Testing and Evaluation 
• Military and Commercial EMC Standards     
• Dynamic Spectrum Access

Aerospace industry is under the continuous pressure due to an increasing demand for new services and technologies,  higher integration level of electronics and reducing overall mass and volume of systems. New technologies and trends are calling for new approaches and methods to achieve compatibility between a huge variety of equipment. In the view of traditional verification approach from equipment to subsystem to system level, the extended use of commercial off  the shelf components and the miniaturization into the Cube Sat standards present new challenges to the EMC society. In order to avoid retesting, fixing or redesign of already integrated systems, EMC engineers are seeking to improve the means of forecasting possible compatibility issues and validating subsystem designs. To achieve these goals a close  collaboration of industry, academia and agencies is required.

The main goals of the Workshop are to:

• Establish a forum opportunity for EMC researchers and engineers involved in aerospace
• Give a wide picture of the present state of EMC technology and trends
• Encourage awareness of, and foster discussion in future developments which will allow the EMC community to keep the pace of spacecraft and aircraft design advances and challenges

The “2019 Joint International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility and Asia-Pacific International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility, Sapporo” (EMC Sapporo & APEMC 2019) will be held at “Sapporo Convention Center”, Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan, from June 3 to 7, 2019. EMC Sapporo & APEMC 2019 is the 8th “International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility” organized by IEICE-CS, and the first joint symposium under technical co-sponsorship by Asia-Pacific EMC (APEMC). We would like to invite all engaged in research and development in the various fields of electromagnetic compatibility to participate in this Symposium.

This EMC Symposium series has a long history and it has been held every 5 years. The first of its series was held in Tokyo in 1984, which was the first IEEE EMC Symposium held outside USA sharing sponsorship with IECE. Ever since the second in 1989, this symposium series has been sponsored by IEICE.
