Model-based Simulation Methodology for EMI/EMC

Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) contribute to a significant percentage of compliance failures in the hardware verification stage. This leads to delay-to-market or cancelled projects. We developed a model-based system-level simulation capability for Bulk Current Injection (BCI) [1] and Radiated Emissions (RE) [2] for early prediction of possible failures. The methodology consists of fast 3D full-wave Electromagnetic simulation using matrix-compression in conjunction with data-based models for apparatus like injection-clamp and Integrated Circuits (ICs) to address the complexity of system-level simulation.

Bulk Current Injection laboratory test for a hardware comprised of a PNP transistor (2SA1576). An IC-model for the transistor is developed. The hardware-in-laboratory environment is simulated and the simulated noise-voltage exceeding the IC-model threshold-values is able to predict measurement failures [1].
