Transfer Function Method for Predicting the Emissions in a CISPR-25 Test-Setup

Abstract

The CISPR-25 standard is used in the automotive industry to characterize the electromagnetic radiation of electronic components. The setup is comprised of an electronic device, a cable harness, a metallic table, and an antenna. Dimensions stretch from a couple of meters for the setup to fractions of a millimeter for printed circuit board features. Numerical prediction of radiated emissions (RE) is of great usefulness for prediction of potential electromagnetic compatibility nonconformities in the early design process, but extremely difficult to be done for this setup as a whole. In this paper, we demonstrate how RE can efficiently be computed based on a setup as commonly used to model conducted emissions only, i.e., electric control unit and harness on infinite-ground plane. Applying Huygens principle and using it to generate a fixed transfer function between a particularly chosen Huygens surface and the antenna, we arrive at a novel computing scheme for RE. The scheme is applied for the antenna model and antenna factor-based calculations and demonstrates agreement with measurements within 5 dB range.
