Abstract

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a major source of electromagnetic interference, capable of causing damage, malfunctions, or disruptions in electronic devices. As a result, ESD immunity testing is a critical component of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) standards. In this study, the radiation emitted from the ESD gun body over 2 GHz is characterized and modeled using Huygens' principle. The equivalent field source was validated across three different environments, demonstrating accuracy with errors of less than 10 dB. A coupling path visualization technique was then employed to identify critical coupling paths, providing guidance for the strategic placement of absorbers. Simulation results showed that applying absorbers to the identified critical areas could reduce coupling by up to 20 dB.
