ATS-6 spacecraft - An EMC challenge
Abstract
A series of analytical, measurement, and experimental EMI tests were performed on ATS-6. The EMC problems encountered included: (1) wiring pickup and reradiation, (2) input rectification and bias offset, (3) harmonics, (4) component degradation, (5) unbalanced shield ground, (6) inadvertent pickup, and (7) electro-explosive devices. The test program consisted of materials evaluation (with regard to shielding effectiveness, cost, weight, etc.), sun sensor RF susceptibility, cable shielding material evaluation, RF integrity of solar panels and power harnesses, anechoic chamber tests, bonding and grounding, and shielding and thermal control.
