Conducted Susceptibility Controls

Susceptibility of an electronic circuit to radio frequency noise on its cabling is a function of numerous variables, not the least of which is the sometimes subjective determination of what constitutes susceptible behavior.  CS Analyst calculates the current and voltage induced at the circuit terminals, and at each circuit component, by the noise injected on the conductors.  It is left to the user to determine whether the induced levels may be problematic for device operation.

There are two ways to approach the issue of determining susceptibility.  The first is to determine analytically or experimentally the radio frequency voltage or current at the circuit terminals that will cause the circuit to begin to respond unacceptably.  This can be quite challenging, since the way in which a circuit responds to radio frequency noise is often unknown.  The second approach is to calculate the voltage or current induced at the circuit terminals by the incident electromagnetic field and then make a determination, either analytically or experimentally, whether the induced level is likely to problematic for the circuit.
