Development of a Space Vehicle Electromagnetic Interference/compatibility Specification. Volume 3 - System Specification

Abstract

This specification represents a new approach to controlling electromagnetic interference. In this approach the system integration contractor will be responsible for the development of discrete specification limits to be utilized on the program to which this specification is applied. The specification limits imposed upon subsystem contractors will be developed by the use of a computer program, available from the procuring agency, which is designed to consider the total system electromagnetic environment in the computation of these limits. The integration contractor will be required to mathematically model those circuits which represent required emitters and receptors of electromagnetic energy on the space vehicle. There are contained herein, a list of available computer models into which must be inserted particular parameters of the spacecraft subsystems. These functional models, when inserted into the computer program, will develop discrete specification limits based upon the requirements of the particular system modelled.
