A comprehensive resource that explores electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) for aerospace systems

Handbook of Aerospace Electromagnetic Compatibility is a groundbreaking book on EMC for aerospace systems that addresses both aircraft and space vehicles. With contributions from an international panel of aerospace EMC experts, this important text deals with the testing of spacecraft components and subsystems, analysis of crosstalk and field coupling, aircraft communication systems, and much more. The text also includes information on lightning effects and testing, as well as guidance on design principles and techniques for lightning protection.

The book offers an introduction to E 3 models and techniques in aerospace systems and explores EMP effects on and technology for aerospace systems. Filled with the most up-to-date information, illustrative examples, descriptive figures, and helpful scenarios, Handbook of Aerospace Electromagnetic Compatibility is designed to be a practical information source. This vital guide to electromagnetic compatibility:

• Provides information on a range of topics including grounding, coupling, test procedures, standards, and requirements

• Offers discussions on standards for aerospace applications

• Addresses aerospace EMC through the use of testing and theoretical approaches

Written for EMC engineers and practitioners, Handbook of Aerospace Electromagnetic Compatibility is a critical text for understanding EMC for aerospace systems.

Introduction to E³ Models and Techniques in Aerospace Systems

1.1 Introduction and Topics of Interest

1.1.1 Background

This chapter renders an overview and perspective of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and electromagnetic environmental effects’ (E³) theoretical considerations for current, near-term, and future aerospace systems. Our starting point extends in part from the current MIL-STD-464C, MIL-STD-461, and MIL-STD-3023 (all discussed in Section 1.5) baseline threats and technologies that include analytical models, testing techniques’ measurements, shielding, numerical techniques, transients, antennas, power modulators, printed circuit board, cables, subsystems, individual limited-size systems, etc. By providing relevant academic and industrial educational resources (conferences, courses, journals, etc.), the EMC and E³ community supports the creation of standards and the development of new components and systems.

The role of EMC and E³ for aerospace systems is to not only maintain high standards, but also to improve the reliability and survivability of complex time-dependent networks that are susceptible to catastrophic failures. Survivability is enhanced by increasing the timeliness of delivery and reliability of long messages, improving reception for multiple multicast networks during link failure, and increasing robustness of heterogeneous networks through advanced communication techniques such as network coding.

It is absolutely essential that certified aerospace EMC and E³ hardware and software are trustworthy. In addition to this mainstream bread-and-butter activity, it is also desirable and necessary to probe in the near term and future and prepare the theoretical foundations upon which to build robust analytical and testing techniques to meet new requirements. The need for new EMC and E³ techniques arises because of increasingly complex emerging systems that, in large measure, will focus on:

1. Testing techniques for autonomous systems that rely on dimensional analyses and stability theory
2. Air-to-ground and space-to-ground and space-to-atmosphere communication and radar networks that contain combinations of random nondirect and direct communication electromagnetic propagation links
3. New-generation aircraft that employ increasingly susceptible electronic components that may require advanced nonlinear control analyses and control systems, and advanced signal analyses that can identify and manage chaos signals and high-power microwaves (HPM) waveforms.

We assert that the EMC and E³ technologies discussed in detail in Sections 1.2–1.5 meet the aforementioned “a-to-d” challenges.

1.1.2 Autonomous Systems

As pointed out in Section 1.2, an autonomous system is composed of three major functions: perception—sensing the environment, decision-making—selecting the best course of action, and execution—implementing the best cou...
