Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of aircraft high-intensity radiation field protection design, and in particular to a field-circuit combined high-intensity radiation field conduction interference assessment method for aircraft onboard equipment. Background Art
[0002] High-intensity radiated fields (HIRF) refer to the electromagnetic environment created by radiation from high-power transmitters such as radar, radio, navigation, and broadcast television on the ground, ships, offshore platforms, or aircraft. With the widespread use of composite materials in aircraft structures and the increasing integration of onboard equipment, the impact of HIRF on aircraft safety has become increasingly prominent. HIRF environments expose aircraft equipment to potential electromagnetic damage, primarily due to interference coupling between strong external electromagnetic fields and onboard equipment. Electromagnetic energy from the external HIRF environment enters the aircraft interior through apertures such as windshields, windows, and doors, or through composite airframe structures, generating induced electromagnetic fields within the cabin. These induced electromagnetic fields can couple through apertures into electronic equipment, radiating interference to internal modules, board-level circuits, and components. They can also induce currents in equipment cables through field line coupling, conducting interference to internal circuits. When radiated interference or conducted interference exceeds the sensitive threshold of equipment and components, electronic equipment will experience performance degradation and malfunction. In severe cases, components may even be damaged or burned. Specific phenomena include malfunction of the control system's control surfaces, sudden changes in engine speed, interference with radio communications, and incorrect display of navigation parameters such as indicated heading and altitude. When HIRF interference is severe, flight accidents such as loss of control and crashes of the aircraft may also occur.
[0003] Therefore, it is extremely necessary to evaluate and analyze the impact of the HIRF environment on the internal circuits of key aircraft onboard equipment during the aircraft design phase. In particular, it is necessary to evaluate and analyze the impact of the HIRF environment on the conducted interference of airborne equipment, which is the main interference coupling path, by focusing on field line coupling.

[0014] Beneficial effects: The present invention transfers the HIRF effect simulation results at the aircraft level and the cable transfer impedance and shielding effectiveness characteristics at the equipment level to the internal circuit HIRF interference response at the circuit level through a field-circuit combination method, thereby achieving the purpose of accurately predicting the aircraft HIRF effect from top to bottom.
