MIL-STD-461 EMC

RS105 Radiated Susceptibility, Transient Electromagnetic Field

MIL-STD-461, RS105

What It Evaluates

Applies a fast EMP-like transient electromagnetic field to equipment enclosures.

Generate a 50 kV/m pulse with a 1.8–2.8 ns rise time and 23 ±5 ns full-width half-maximum duration. Center the equipment in the calibrated TEM or parallel-plate working volume and bond it as installed.

When It Applies

Applicability depends on platform, installation, interfaces, procurement requirements, and the controlling revision.

Typical Applicability

Begin at approximately 10% of the required amplitude, increase to the full level, and apply at least five pulses at no more than one pulse per minute. Monitor during and after every pulse and repeat orthogonal orientations as needed to maximize electric- and magnetic-field coupling.

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.
