Transverse electromagnetic (TEM) cells are usually used to perform electromagnetic interference (EMI) measurements of equipment inside the cell in a plane wave-field environment. This paper describes a new technique of generating predominantly highimpedance electric or low-impedance magnetic fields inside a TEM cell for EM1 measurements of relatively small size printed circuit boards (PCBs), electronic devices, etc. The technique simulates environments similar to the near-field EM1 environment for intrasystem EMI/EMC studies. Variations of electric and magnetic fields, and impedances along the length of the cell, are given. The results indicate that a reasonable size test region exists in the cell over which the field amplitudes are uniform within 2 1 dB.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
