Voltage Spike
Page -45-
This test determines whether the equipment can withstand the effects of voltage spikes arriving at
the equipment on its power leads, either AC or DC. The main adverse effects to be anticipated are:
a. Permanent damage, component failure, insulation breakdown.
b. Susceptibility degradation, or changes in equipment performance.
The Ruggadized 9 Pole Switching Multiplexer was subjected to Category A.
Category A
Equipment intended primarily for installation where a high degree of protection against damage by
voltage spikes is required is identified as Category A.
Page -46-
The transient generator used produced the waveform shown in Figure 17-1 of the test specification.
A typical test setup is shown in Figure 17-2. Any method of generating the spike may be used if the
waveform complies with Figure 17-1. The generator was inserted in series with the Ruggadized 9
Pole Switching Multiplexer.
Page -47-
4.0 TEST PROCEDURE:
With the equipment under test disconnected, the transient wave shape was verified to be within
specification. The Ruggadized 9 Pole Switching Multiplexer was set to its designated voltage. A
series of positive and negative spikes (described in Figure 17-1 of the Standard) were injected to
each of the primary inputs of the equipment under test. A minimum of 50 transients of each polarity
were injected within a period of one minute. The test was repeated for each operating mode or
function of the equipment.
In order to thoroughly test AC power lines, the pulse positioning function of the Spike Generator
was used. The generator was connected to the same 400 Hz power source as the power input line
under test in order to sync to the line. Using the Pulse Position Control in conjunction with the
Polarity Reversing Switch, the spike was injected through the entire 360° of the sine wave. The
generator injects at a rate of 6.2 pulses per second when set to sync to 400 Hz lines, resulting in
372 pulses in 60 seconds.

This test determines whether the equipment will accept frequency components of a magnitude
normally expected when the equipment is installed in the aircraft. These frequency components are
normally harmonically related to the power source fundamental frequency.
The Ruggadized 9 Pole Switching Multiplexer was subjected to Category E.
When equipment requires only AC input power and is tested to the AC input parameters, the
equipment is identified as Category E.

4.0 TEST PROCEDURE:
For AC:
The equipment was set up as shown in Figure 18-1, Paragraph 3.0. A sine wave audio frequency
signal was applied successively in series with each ungrounded AC input power lead. The frequency
of the applied signal was varied between 750 Hz and 15 kHz.
Page -70-
5.1 LIMITS:

1.0 PURPOSE OF THE TEST
This test determines whether the equipment interconnect circuit configuration will accept a level of
induced voltages caused by the installation environment. This section relates specifically to
interfering signals related to the power frequency and its harmonics, audio frequency signals, and
electrical transients that are generated by other on-board equipment or systems and coupled to
sensitive circuits within the EUT through its interconnecting wiring.
2.0 EQUIPMENT CATEGORIES
The Ruggadized 9 Pole Switching Multiplexer was subjected to Category C.
Category C
Equipment intended primarily for operation in systems where interference-free operation is required
and where severe coupling occurs due to long wire runs or minimum wire separation is identified as
Category C.
Page -83-
This section consists of four different configurations: 1) Magnetic Fields Induced Into the
Equipment; 2) Magnetic Fields Induced into Interconnecting Cables; 3) Electric Fields Induced into
Interconnecting Cables; and 4) Spikes Induced into Interconnecting Cables.
The Magnetic Field induced into the equipment consisted of a straight wire radiator located within
0.15m of the periphery of the equipment under test. The field generated is shown in Table 19-1.

Conducted Susceptibility
10 kHz – 400 MHz
Page -151-
This test determines whether the equipment under test will operate within performance specifications
when the equipment and its interconnecting wiring are exposed to a level of RF modulated power by
injection probe induction onto the power lines and interface circuit wiring.
From 10 kHz to 400 MHz, the equipment under test (EUT) is subjected to RF signals coupled by
means of injection probes into its cable bundles.
Equipment with special signal, frequency, modulation or bandpass characteristics may require test
variations as specified by the applicable performance standards.
The result of this test is to permit categories to be assigned defining the conducted and RF test levels
of the equipment. This test, along with the radiated susceptibility, is sufficient to obtain
environmental qualification for radio frequency susceptibility of the equipment. Additional tests may
be necessary to certify the installation of systems in an aircraft dependent on the functions performed.
Page -152-
Categories designate the RF test levels and establish the EUT minimum RF susceptibility level. The
categories may be given in the applicable equipment performance standard.
The category to be applied to a system or equipment frequently must be chosen before the internal RF
environment of the aircraft is known. Further, many systems or equipments are designed with the
intent that they will be installed in several different types of aircraft. Therefore, if a category is not
identified in the equipment specification, the equipment manufacturer should design, test and qualify
the equipment to the category level consistent with expected location, exposure and use.
Category designation for equipment consists of three characters. Conducted susceptibility test levels
are designated with the first category character. Continuous wave (CW) and square wave (SW)
modulated radiated susceptibility test levels are designated with the second category character. Pulse
modulated radiated susceptibility test levels are designated with the third category character.
To aid the equipment manufacturer in selecting appropriate test limits for the equipment and its
interconnecting wiring, categories have been defined below. The descriptions are for guidance only.
Equipment location, anticipated exposure and location of interconnecting wiring, aircraft size and
construction determine the test level.
The Ruggadized 9 Pole Switching Multiplexer was subjected to Category V.
Category V is intended for equipments and interconnecting wiring installed in a moderate

environment such as the more electromagnetically open areas of an aircraft composed principally of
metal.
Page -153-
The Ruggadized 9 Pole Switching Multiplexer is set up according to Figure 20-9 shown below. The
induced current monitor probe is installed 5cm from the EUT. If the EUT connector plus backshell
length exceeds 5cm, the probe shall be placed as close to the connector backshell as possible and the
position noted. Support and center the probe. Install the injection probe 5cm from the face of the
monitor probe.
Page -154-
4.0 TEST PROCEDURE:
Proper probe locations, software installation, modes of operation and stability of the EUT, test
equipment and all monitoring circuits and loads were established.
CAUTION: RF fields can be hazardous. Observe appropriate RF exposure limits.
Set the signal generator to 10 kHz, unmodulated. Establish the forward power to the injection probe
on amplitude measurement instrument #2 at 10 kHz at the power determined in the probe calibration
procedure for the selected category of Figure 20-6. The frequency range was scanned slowly at the
proper forward power. Both CW and square wave modulation were applied. The RF carrier was
amplitude modulated with a 1 kHz square wave at greater than 90 percent depth, with optional 1 to 3
Hz superimposed. When modulation was applied, the peak amplitude complies with the definitions
of Figure 20-5.
Also consider applying other modulations associated with the EUT, such a clock, data, IF, internal
processing or modulation frequencies. Consider any possible low frequency response characteristic
of the EUT, for example, a flight control equipment's response to 1 to 3 Hz modulation in the 2 to 30
MHz HF range. When using 1 Hz to 3 Hz modulation, ensure that sweeping and/or frequency
stepping is suspended during the "off" period of the modulation. As an option, tests can be run using
only the modulation to which the EUT is most susceptible.
Slowly scan the frequency range to 400 MHz at the forward power amplitude using the proper probes
and modulations. Dwell at internal modulation, data or clock frequencies, as required.
Monitor the induced cable bundle current with the amplitude measurement instrument and data
recorder to capture resonances. When necessary, adjust and control the forward power to limit
induced current on the bundle:
Cat Y – 1 A;
Cat W – 500 mA;
Cat V – 250 mA;
Cat U and R – 100 mA;
Cat T – 25 mA
Cat S – 5 mA
While scanning, evaluate EUT operation and DETERMINE COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE
EQUIPMENT PERFORMANCE STANDARDS.

Radiated Susceptibility
100 MHz – 18 GHz
Page -193-
This test determines whether equipment will operate within performance specifications when the
equipment and its interconnecting wiring are exposed to a level of RF modulated power by a radiated
RF field.
For frequencies between 100 MHz and the upper frequency limit, the Ruggadized 9 Pole Switching
Multiplexer is subjected to radiated RF fields.
Equipment with special signal, frequency, modulation or band pass characteristics may require test
variations as specified by the applicable performance standards.
The result of this test is to permit categories to be assigned defining radiated RF, along with the
conducted test levels of the equipment. These tests are sufficient to obtain environmental qualification
for radio frequency susceptibility of the equipment. Additional tests may be necessary to certify the
installation of systems in an aircraft dependent on the functions performed.
Page -194-
Categories designate the RF test levels and establish the EUT minimum RF susceptibility level. The
categories may be given in the applicable equipment performance standard.
The category to be applied to a system or equipment frequently must be chosen before the internal RF
environment of the aircraft is known. Further, many systems or equipments are designed with the
intent that they will be installed in several different types of aircraft. Therefore, if a category is not
identified in the equipment specification, the equipment manufacturer should design, test and qualify
the equipment to the category level consistent with expected location, exposure and use.
Category designation for equipment consists of three characters. Radiated susceptibility test levels are
designated with the first category character. Continuous wave (CW) and square wave (SW) modulated
radiated susceptibility test levels are designated with the second category character. Pulse modulated
radiated susceptibility test levels are designated with the third category character.
To aid the equipment manufacturer in selecting appropriate test limits for the equipment and its
interconnecting wiring, categories have been defined below. The descriptions are for guidance only.
Equipment location, anticipated exposure and location of interconnecting wiring, aircraft size and
construction determine the test level.
The Ruggadized 9 Pole Switching Multiplexer was subjected to Category V.
Category V is intended for equipments and interconnecting wiring installed in a moderate environment
such as the more electromagnetically open areas of an aircraft composed principally of metal.
Page -195-
The Ruggadized 9 Pole Switching Multiplexer shall be set up according to Figure 20.2 shown below.
Signal generators, amplifiers, antennas and probes shall maintain required RF field levels to properly
illuminate the EUT and interconnecting wiring. Position and aim antennas to establish the RF field
strengths at the EUT and interconnecting wiring. When the beam width of the antenna does not totally
cover the EUT and wiring, perform multiple area scans. Directly expose apertures in the EUT to the
transmitting antenna, which may require additional LRU orientations. Vertical and horizontal antenna
orientations are required for polarized antennas.
Page -196-
4.0 TEST PROCEDURE:
Establish appropriate antenna and isotropic probe locations, software installation, modes of operation
and stability of the EUT, test equipment and all monitoring circuits and loads.
CAUTION: RF fields can be hazardous. Observe appropriate RF exposure limits.
Use the forward power settings determined from the radiated field calibration. When modulation is
applied, ensure that the peak amplitude complies with the definitions of Figure 20-5.
Scan the frequency range to the upper frequency limit using the proper antennas and modulations.
Dwell at internal modulation, data and clock frequencies, as required.
While scanning, evaluate EUT operation and DETERMINE COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE
EQUIPMENT PERFORMANCE STANDARDS.

Emission of Radio Frequency Energy
Page -239-
These tests determine that the equipment does not emit undesired RF noise in excess of the levels
specified below. The notches specified in the radiated emissions limits are included to protect aircraft
RF sensors operating frequencies.
Categories are defined in terms of location and separation between the equipment and aircraft radio
antennas. As these parameters are widely linked to aircraft type and size, some examples are given
with each category definition.
The Ruggadized 9 Pole Switching Multiplexer was subjected to Category M. A 7 dB relaxation limit
was applied to the Category L limits on the Integrated Drive Generator (IDG) Output Feeder wires
from 150 kHz to 500 kHz.

The conducted setup can be seen in Figure 21-3 shown below:
The radiated setup can be seen in Figure 21-7 shown below:
Page -241-
4.0 TEST PROCEDURE:
Conducted RF Emission:
a. Interference currents generated by the equipment and measured by using a clamp-on interference
measuring device within the frequency ranges and in excess of the values given in Figure 21-1 shall
not appear on any power line normally connected to an aircraft bus.
Line Impedance Stabilization Networks (LISNs) shall be used as shown in Figure 21-3. Power return
wires tied locally to the ground plane as noted in RTCA/DO-160C/D Section 20.3a(6) are not tested.
b. Interference currents on interconnecting cable bundles other than antenna feed cables and
primary power lines shall be measured by using a clamp-on interference measuring device.
The limits and frequency ranges are as shown in Figure 21-2.
Figure 21-3 shows a simplified test arrangement for the use of the current probe.
Install the current probe five centimeters from the EUT. If the EUT connector plus backshell length
exceeds five centimeters the probe shall be placed as close to the connector backshell as possible and
the position noted.
Radiated RF Emission:
Radiated interference fields generated by the equipment within the frequency ranges, and in excess of
the values shown in Figures 21-4 for the appropriate categories, shall not be radiated from any unit,
cable or interconnecting wiring. A typical arrangement of equipment for conducting the radiated RF
emission test is shown in Figure 21-7.
NOTE:
Subsection 21.4 does not measure or control spurious signals conducted out of the antenna terminals
of receivers and transmitters. That control should be specified in the equipment performance standard
for that receiver or transmitter.
Page -242-
4.0 TEST PROCEDURE (CON’T):
General Requirements:
The equipment under test shall be set up on a ground plane and operated in accordance with the
criteria in Subsection 20.3 subparagraph a and parts 1, 2 and 5 of subparagraph b, with the following
additions:
a. Interference shall be measured using the peak detector function of the interference measuring
equipment. Interference measuring instruments with selectable IF bandwidths (BWI) may be used,
and the selected BWI must be the values given in the following table. The time constant of the
peak detector must be lower or equal to 1/BWI. Where applicable, video bandwidths shall be
selected to be greater than or equal to the resolution bandwidth.
Frequency Bands BWI

0.15 – 30 MHz 1 kHz
30 – 400 MHz 10 kHz
400 – 1000 MHz 100 kHz
1000 – 6000 MHz 1 MHz
Note: During radiated tests the above bandwidths may not provide a low enough noise floor to make
proper measurements in the notches defined for categories M & H. In that case, a 10 kHz BWI
shall be used for measurements in the notches with no correction factor being applied.
b. Field strength units are obtain by using any appropriate antenna and adding the appropriate antenna
factor to the measured voltage in dB microvolts. Appropriate correction factor for cable losses and
matching networks must also be applied.
c. When linearly polarized antennas are used for radiated tests above 25 MHz, measure radiated
emissions using both vertically and horizontally polarized orientations.
d. For EUT with multiple apertures and sensors such as displays, several different orientations may be
required, for example connector side and aperture side(s) facing the antenna.
e. Consider EUT realistic operating modes that produce maximum emission.
f. Radiated ambient data (EUT "off" and test support equipment "on") is required only if EUT
emissions are greater than 3 dB below the selected category limit. It is good engineering practice to
check ambient radiated emissions prior to a radiated emissions test, and it is desirable that the
ambient emissions be at least 6 dB below the selected limit line.
g. Measure and record the EUT emissions conditions and apply the appropriate limit from Figures 21-
4 for the selected category.
