Radiated Emissions Extrapolation Issues

Abstract

In this thesis, the complicated problem of extrapolating radiated emissions from one range to another is tackled. A model employing a Method of Moments (MoM) formulation is presented to compare alongside measurements which had been previously completed in an OATS environment using a log periodic (LP) antenna as the source and an electric field probe to measure the radiated emissions. Measurements were performed at 3m and 10m ranges and varying heights. Results from the model are compared to the measured values to show the validity of the model. Finally, extrapolation of the measured data is presented and conclusions are made from the results
