Title:<br />

T605-13EE<br />

Advanced System Level Radiated Noise Analysis and Simulation for EMC<br />

The objective of this activity is to create a numerical tool to simulate radiated electromagnetic field in low Q cavities and<br />

examine radiated susceptibility at unit/subsystem and system level by means of hybrid methods (full wave solvers and<br />

transmission line theory) in time and/or frequency domain. Emphasis shall be given to the representation of the<br />

electromagnetic field where the interference actually occurs, i.e. inside the spacecraft.The following features will be examined:<br />

the randomness of the system, i.e. random field from sources in a closed environment, will be treated with the stochastic<br />

treatment of Maxwell equations; characterisation of the field-to-wire-coupling onto a non-uniform multi-con<strong>du</strong>ctor transmission<br />

line. In order to account for the uncertainties of any complex system that lead to severe fluctuations of the electromagnetic<br />

coupling, a probabilistic approach shall be implemented. The system noise model will be validated against measurements on<br />

selected case studies.<br />

Title: European Antenna Modelling Component Library - Step 2<br />

Following the successful activity on the European Antenna Modelling Library for Telecommunication applications, this activity<br />

will to continue along the path established by extending the Library to cover new requirements of by Earth Observation,<br />

Science and Telecommunication missions. Typical needs include: refinement of reflector antenna analysis tools (for very high<br />

frequency and quasi-optics instruments), innovative methods for array design (for SAR's), fast parametric modelling of small<br />

antennas (to improve speed and accuracy) and improvement of antenna interaction models (distributed antennas, out-of-band<br />

response), adaptation of modelling tools for the use as diagnostic means in AIT/AIV campaign. Furthermore, in order to reach<br />

these objective within the multi-tool environment of the Library the activity will also further consolidate the Electromagnetic<br />

Data Exchange standard.<br />

Further steps are foreseen to cover further requirements of the different type of missions not compatible with the current<br />

budget allocation and to further consolidate the most innovative developments.<br />

Electromagnetic modelling tools are a key factor in the timely and cost effective development of satellite antennas. The<br />

availability of well-established and validated tools has been proven to re<strong>du</strong>ce costs and time to delivery by as much as 30%.<br />

Dedicated electromagnetic modelling tools are absolutely necessary for the successful development of European space<br />

antenna technology. Yet the expenditure in this area (about 5M over the past 10 years) has been small compared to the costs<br />

for breadboarding and mock-up testing of antennas on even a single satellite, and the potential for improvement has been<br />

exploited in a very limited way significantly re<strong>du</strong>cing the benefit for European Space In<strong>du</strong>stry.<br />

With direct relevance to Dossier 0 requirements, this proposal was elaborated and justified within the R&D dossier on Antenna<br />

Modelling and Tools Validation together with experts from user directorates who have approved and supported it as relevant<br />

and important for their future programmes. This action also fits the objectives of the reflector antenna harmonisation in the<br />

Telecom area.<br />

Deliverables:<br />
