Abstract

Abstract:

Aiming at evaluating and predicting rapidly and accurately a high sensitivity receiver’s adaptability in complex electromagnetic environments, a novel testing and prediction method based on dual-channel multi-frequency is proposed to improve the traditional two-tone test. Firstly, two signal generators are used to generate signals at the radio frequency (RF) by frequency scanning, and then a rapid measurement at the intermediate frequency (IF) output port is carried out to obtain a huge amount of sample data for the subsequent analysis. Secondly, the IF output response data are modeled and analyzed to construct the linear and nonlinear response constraint equations in the frequency domain and prediction models in the power domain, which provide the theoretical criteria for interpreting and predicting electromagnetic susceptibility (EMS) of the receiver. An experiment performed on a radar receiver confirms the reliability of the method proposed in this paper. It shows that the interference of each harmonic frequency and each order to the receiver can be identified and predicted with the sensitivity model. Based on this, fast and comprehensive evaluation and prediction of the receiver’s EMS in complex environment can be efficiently realized.

Key words: electromagnetic susceptibility (EMS), receiver, dual-channel multi-frequency, nonlinear response, frequency domain, power domain
