Conducted and radiated susceptibility to DO160 G - section 20

Objectives

• For designers, anticipation of what will happen to the product during testing, and the possibility of specifying test benches with regard to emission requirements.
• For test technicians, checking set-ups and test equipment
• For project and program managers, to be able decide whether a test report can be used for the compliance matrix.
• Take into account the details required for drafting a reproducible procedure

Who should attend

• Hardware engineers needing to understand or conduct tests on equipment or systems.
• Technicians following tests or equipment and systems.
• Project managers and program managers validating the testing of equipment for which they are responsible.
• Technicians or engineers writing test procedures.

Prerequisites

Presentation

In susceptibility testing, the validity of the test for qualification depends on many factors, a product may be declared "compliant" even it will be easily disturbed in a real-life situation. This course outlines the critical points for conducting a dimensional test, drafting a correct test, providing test equipment and defining filter requirements for equipment and test benches.

This training is practically oriented. Conducted and radiated emissions will be measured. The influence of set-ups will be observed.
