Abstract

Abstract-Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) is becoming a crucial issue in the era of modern electronic systems. For EMI measurement, it is required to place a sensor to receive the radiation from the equipment in a suitable test environment. The performance of the sensor depends on its Antenna Factor, which is the ratio of the incident electric field on the antenna surface to the received voltage at the load end. Here, a Method of Moment-based numerical technique has been used to evaluate the performance of a sensor in different test environments with different wave impedances. The evaluation of the sensor has been performed in terms of the Antenna Factor. The results are presented for free space environment of impedance 377â„¦ and Gigahertz Transverse Electromagnetic (GTEM) Cell of characteristic impedance 50â„¦. The results show well agreement with experimental data.
