Creating a New CS Analyst Project

When a new conducted susceptibility analysis is initiated the CS model is built sequentially.  The basic steps are:

1.  Enter frequency range -- Enter the frequency range over which to analyze your system for conducted susceptibility.

2.  Specify a CS limit -- Input the amplitude of the CS signal over the frequency range for which you wish to analyze the circuit.  Also input upper bound conditions defined for the CS signal, i.e. specify maximum current when voltage is injected or maximum voltage when current is injected.  CS limits may be created using the Limit module or loaded from file.

3.  Build Left-Hand Circuit model -- Using the schematic capture program that is built into CS Analyst build a schematic diagram of the electrical components that are connected to the left end of the Conductors.  Circuit components are selected from the Component Library.  Enter values to match the RF characteristics of the actual components used.

4.  Specify Conductor parameters -- Select the conductor configuration that most closely matches the circuit under investigation.  Eight different cable configurations allow nearly all common conductors to be modeled.

5.  Define shield construction, as applicable -- For shielded conductors enter the parameters that define how the shield is constructed.  These values are used to calculate Shield Transfer Impedance, which is used in determining shielding effectiveness of the shield.

6.  Specify shield termination parameters, as applicable -- For each end of shielded conductor select a termination method and enter parameters that define how the termination is constructed.

7.  Build Right-Hand Circuit model -- Using the schematic capture program that is built into CS Analyst build a schematic diagram of the electrical components that are connected to the right end of the Conductors.  Circuit components are selected from the Component Library.  Enter values to match the RF characteristics of the actual components used.

8.  Calculate and display conducted susceptibility levels -- With the information above entered, CS Analyst calculates the current and voltage for each component in the left-hand and right-hand circuits and at each end of the conductors.  At the completion of calculations voltage and current are displayed graphically or numerically by simply selecting the desired observation point.
