Summary:

This paper elaborates on current testing techniques used to determine an aircraft's attenuation characteristics in the presence of High Intensity Radiated Fields (HIRF). This is not a theoretical discussion for the Electromagnetic expert, but rather a practitioner's overview for the avionics/electrical engineer who must oversee HIRF testing. Three testing techniques used to determine the attenuation of an aircraft will be discussed: (1) the Low Level Direct Drive (LLDD) test used for the 10 kHz to the first aircraft resonance frequency; (2) the Low Level Swept Current (LLSC) test used for the 1 to 400 MHz frequency band; and (3) the Low Level Swept Fields (LLSF) test used for the 100 MHz to 18 GHz frequency band
