Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of electromagnetic testing, and more particularly to a system-level HIRF radiation and conduction sensitivity comprehensive test device and method. Background Art
[0002] High-intensity radiated field (HIRF) refers to the electromagnetic environment generated by radiation from various emission sources. It has the characteristics of long action time, wide bandwidth, and strong interference field. It may cause serious harm to aircraft electronic and electrical equipment and systems, affecting its flight safety. It is a mandatory requirement for the airworthiness of civil aircraft.
[0003] Aircraft HIRF testing mainly includes two test methods: high-level testing and low-level equivalent testing. Due to the greater risks of high-level testing, low-level equivalent testing is currently widely used in aircraft HIRF airworthiness testing at home and abroad. Aircraft-level HIRF low-level coupling testing is mainly divided into the following two categories:
[0004] 1) Below 400MHz, HIRF energy mainly interferes with airborne equipment through conductive coupling of interconnecting cables, and the low-level sweep current (LLSC) test method is used;
[0005] 2) In the 100MHz-18GHz range, HIRF energy primarily interferes with airborne equipment through radiation from cabin coupling fields. Low-level swept field (LLSF) testing is employed. The full-aircraft LLSC test irradiates the entire aircraft in a low-level HIRF environment, measures the induced currents in the aircraft's internal cables, and obtains a normalized transfer function. This is then linearly extrapolated to obtain the HIRF test level for airborne system equipment under a realistic external HIRF environment, providing a basis for system-level HIRF conducted susceptibility testing and assessment. Similarly, the full-aircraft LLSF test obtains the aircraft cabin's normalized attenuation function through local irradiation, which, through linear extrapolation, provides a basis for system-level HIRF radiated susceptibility testing and assessment.
[0006] Currently, system-level HIRF susceptibility testing is primarily divided into conducted HIRF susceptibility testing and radiated HIRF susceptibility testing. The airworthiness certification assessment of airborne equipment / systems for conducted and radiated HIRF susceptibility is conducted independently. Conducted HIRF susceptibility testing is conducted via direct coupled injection (DCI) into the interconnecting cables of airborne equipment / systems, with a test frequency range below 400 MHz. Radiated HIRF susceptibility testing is conducted via direct irradiation of airborne equipment / systems in an anechoic chamber / reverberation chamber, with a test frequency range above 100 MHz. In reality, in the 100 MHz-400 MHz frequency range, HIRF environments present both conducted and radiated interference to airborne equipment / systems, with each type of interference predominating. Therefore, simply conducting separate HIRF conducted and radiated susceptibility tests in the 100 MHz-400 MHz frequency range will result in discrepancies between the actual HIRF coupling interference effects and the combined interference effects of HIRF conducted and radiated coupling on airborne equipment / systems. This poses a potential risk to aircraft flight safety in HIRF environments.
[0007] To comprehensively explore the HIRF sensitivity of airborne equipment / systems, especially in the 100MHz-400MHz overlapping frequency band for HIRF conduction and HIRF radiation sensitivity tests, a system-level HIRF radiation and conduction comprehensive effect test device was constructed based on the anechoic chamber test environment. A system-level HIRF radiation and conduction comprehensive sensitivity test method was proposed. This will provide a test device and test method for the accurate evaluation of HIRF conduction and radiation sensitivity of airborne equipment / systems, and address potential safety hazards in the aircraft HIRF environment. Summary of the Invention

[0043] Components within the control room are used for signal generation, amplification, monitoring, and system control, ensuring the safety and isolation of the test environment.
[0044] The anechoic chamber is located next to the control room and is a shielded environment used to simulate an interference-free test space. Transmitting antennas and optical fiber lines are located inside the anechoic chamber.
[0045] The transmitting antenna is used to radiate signals, and the optical fiber line connects the interior of the anechoic chamber and the control room for data transmission.
[0046] The anechoic chamber also has an "equipment area" including: equipment under test (EUT), current monitoring probes, field strength probes, current injection probes, interconnecting cables, loads and photoelectric converters;
[0047] The equipment under test (EUT) is the object to be tested and is placed in the center of the darkroom.
[0048] The current monitoring probe is installed on the interconnecting cable of the EUT.
[0049] The field strength probe is located near the EUT to measure the radiated field strength.
[0050] A current injection probe is coupled to the interconnect cable for signal injection.
[0051] Interconnect cables are cables that connect the EUT.
[0052] The load acts as the electrical load for the EUT.
[0053] The comprehensive test control system is connected to the control interface of the signal generator. The RF output of the signal generator is connected to the input of the directional coupler through a power amplifier. The output of the directional coupler is connected to the transmitting antenna. The distance between the transmitting antenna and the EUT is typically 1m. The power meter is connected to the monitoring end of the directional coupler. The field strength probe and the measurement receiver are connected using a photoelectric converter.
[0054] The comprehensive test control system is connected to the control interface of the signal generator. The RF output of the signal generator is connected to the input of the directional coupler through a power amplifier. The output of the directional coupler is connected to the input of the current injection probe. The test cable is arranged in the current injection probe. The test signal is coupled into the cable through the current injection probe. The current monitoring probe is also arranged on the cable under test. The current monitoring probe and the measurement receiver are connected by a photoelectric converter. The cable current monitoring probe is 5 cm away from the EUT, and the current injection probe and the cable current monitoring probe are 5 cm apart.
[0055] The "Integrated Test Control System" is used for unified control, achieving synchronous testing, directing the signal generator to output test signals, synchronously managing the radiation and conduction test processes, and receiving and analyzing feedback data from the measurement receiver:
[0056] 1. HIRF radiation sensitivity test link
[0057] Signal flow: The signal generator generates a radiation test signal, which is amplified by a power amplifier. The amplified information is split by a directional coupler. At the same time, the power meter monitors the signal power in real time and transmits the signal to the transmitting antenna. The transmitting antenna irradiates the EUT and cables.
[0058] Monitoring closed loop: The field strength probe measures the radiation field intensity, and the measurement data is transmitted to the photoelectric converter via optical fiber, and converted into an electrical signal by the photoelectric converter. The electrical signal is recorded and analyzed by the measurement receiver and finally fed back to the control system.
[0059] 2.HIRF conducted sensitivity test link
[0060] Signal flow: The signal generator generates the conducted test signal, which is amplified by the power amplifier. The amplified signal is split by the directional coupler. At the same time, the power meter monitors the power and transmits the signal to the current injection probe, which is coupled to the EUT interconnect cable.
[0061] Monitoring closed loop: The current monitoring probe captures the cable current in real time. The captured data is transmitted to the photoelectric converter via optical fiber. After conversion by the photoelectric converter, it is processed by the measurement receiver and the processing results are fed back to the control system for reception and analysis.
[0062] 3. Comprehensive test synchronization mechanism
[0063] Parallel execution: The transmitting antenna radiates multi-directional / polarized radiation to the EUT while the current injection probe injects conducted interference into the designated cable;
[0064] Data integration: Data from the field intensity probe and current monitoring probe are transmitted back to the measurement receiver in the control room via optical fiber. The control system then compares and analyzes the superposition effect of radiation and conduction.
[0065] It should be noted that the optoelectronic converter is used to bridge the anechoic chamber and the control room, converting the optical fiber signal into an electrical signal for analysis by the measurement receiver to ensure anti-interference transmission; the directional coupler and power meter are used to monitor the power stability of the injected / radiated signal in real time to ensure test accuracy; the load serves as the terminal of the EUT to simulate the actual working conditions and together with the interconnecting cables constitutes a conduction test loop.
[0066] The present invention also provides a system-level HIRF radiation and conduction sensitivity comprehensive test method, the test steps include:
[0067] In the anechoic chamber, the test layout is carried out according to the requirements of HIRF radiation sensitivity test, HIRF conduction sensitivity test and comprehensive test, and the system-level HIRF radiation and conduction sensitivity comprehensive test is carried out through the comprehensive test control system;
[0068] Determine the test frequency band, test level, number of test frequencies, dwell time (scan rate), signal modulation pattern and other parameters for conducting HIRF comprehensive sensitivity tests;
[0069] On the one hand, HIRF radiation field intensity calibration in different polarizations and radiation directions is performed in the darkroom using the transmitting antenna and field intensity probe to obtain radiation sensitivity calibration data. On the other hand, current injection probe calibration is also required to obtain current injection probe calibration data for HIRF conducted sensitivity testing.
[0070] When conducting a combined HIRF radiated sensitivity test and conducted sensitivity test, the HIRF radiated sensitivity test link irradiates the EUT and its interconnecting cables through the transmitting antenna, while the HIRF conducted sensitivity test link conducts injection into the test cable through the current injection probe;
[0071] In addition, during the test, the EUT and its interconnecting cables need to be irradiated in different directions and with different polarizations (vertical or horizontal), and different test cables need to be injected with conduction separately;
[0072] Observe test phenomena and record data of HIRF radiation sensitivity test and HIRF conducted sensitivity test of the equipment under test (EUT), and complete the comprehensive test of HIRF radiation sensitivity and conducted sensitivity;
[0073] Comprehensive test relationship: In the test steps, the HIRF radiated susceptibility test and the HIRF conducted susceptibility test are carried out simultaneously. The transmitting antenna irradiates the EUT, while the current injection probe injects signals into different cables to achieve "comprehensive testing". The control system coordinates the output parameters of the signal generator (such as frequency band, level, modulation mode) to ensure synchronization.
[0074] All measurement data (radiation field intensity, injection current) are transmitted back to the control room via optical fiber lines. After being processed by photoelectric converters, they are recorded and analyzed by the measurement receiver and control system. The photoelectric converters isolate interference and ensure accurate signal transmission.
[0075] In a preferred embodiment, the required level of the HIRF conduction sensitivity test is determined as follows:
[0076] The normalized transfer function of the interconnection cable or power cable is obtained from the full-machine LLSC test:
[0077] ;
[0078] Where k is the normalized transfer function, in m / Ω; I1 is the induced current in the tested cable, in A; and E1 is the radiation field strength of the full-machine LLSC test, in V / m.
[0079] According to the actual external HIRF environment requirements, the level value of the HIRF conducted sensitivity test is obtained by linear extrapolation of the normalized transfer function:
[0080] ;
[0081] Where I2 represents the test level value to be applied, in A; E0 represents the required field strength value in the external environment, in V / m.
[0082] In a preferred embodiment, the method for determining the required level of the HIRF radiation sensitivity test is as follows:

[0084] ;
[0085] Where S represents the normalized transfer function, E2 represents the field strength value in the tested compartment, in V / m, and E1 represents the radiated field strength value of the whole aircraft LLSF test, in V / m.
[0086] The shielding effectiveness is derived from the attenuation function:
[0087] ;
[0088] Where SE represents the shielding effectiveness of the SUT enclosure in dB, and E represents the required test level in V / m.
[0089] According to the actual external HIRF environment requirements, the level value of the HIRF radiation sensitivity test is obtained through shielding effectiveness:
[0090] ;
[0091] Wherein, E0 represents the external environment requirement value, and the unit is V / m.
[0092] In a preferred embodiment, a photoelectric conversion is added to the measurement link to solve the interference problem. The current injection probe and the field strength probe are connected to the photoelectric converter and the output is sent to the measurement receiver.
