Abstract

Bulk Current Injection (BCI) measurement is a well-known technique in automotive component-level EMC testing. However, simulating this process is challenging due to the unknown material properties of the commercially available BCI clamps. This presentation covers the characterization and modelling of BCI clamps and calibration jigs, performing the calibration, and using these in CST simulations. Additionally, the possible resonance effect produced by the BCI clamp with the calibration jig will be discussed, along with its possible influence on measurements.
