MIL-STD-461 EMC
RS101 Radiated Susceptibility, Magnetic Field
MIL-STD-461, RS101
What It Evaluates
Applies low-frequency magnetic fields to equipment enclosures and electrical interfaces.
Covers 30 Hz–100 kHz using a 12 cm, 20-turn radiating loop positioned 5 cm from the test surface. Calibrate at 1 kHz and 110 dBpT, with the monitoring measurement within ±3 dB.
When It Applies
Applicability depends on platform, installation, interfaces, procurement requirements, and the controlling revision.
Typical Applicability
Operate the equipment and scan each face and connector, repositioning the loop to cover every 30 × 30 cm area. At susceptible frequencies, apply the full limit at a minimum of three frequencies per octave while searching for the worst coupling location; an AC Helmholtz coil may be used when size constraints permit.
Setup Notes
Setup notes and technical limits must be entered from verified source requirements.
This tool provides preliminary planning information only. Final MIL-STD-810H, MIL-STD-461, and RTCA DO-160 requirements must be reviewed and tailored by qualified engineers based on the product, lifecycle, platform, environment, and contract requirements.
