In a space system or equipment, electromagnetic compatibility is a critical aspect affecting its operation, function, and performance. In the beginning of this chapter, an overview of the electromagnetic compatibility main considerations is provided. Then the main electromagnetic compatibility standards and relative useful handbooks for space applications are briefly presented. Testing methods and procedures to assess electromagnetic compatibility of space systems and units are discussed briefly covering all kinds of measurements. Moreover, information regarding the instrumentation and the testing facilities is also provided. Mission testing requirements and limits are also presented as examples for every electromagnetic compatibility test. Recent developments in test methods are also discussed where applicable.
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.
