Abstract

In this presentation Marc Reinhardt and Peter Birkefeld show how the topic of RE (Rod) simulations has been approached in ZF, how it evolved to its current state and what has to be considered in the future. They will present simulation and measurement results based on a verification procedure with a noise generator and the CISPR25 ALSE verification (long wire) method.

The presentation will show how grounding of the table on both sides (wall and antenna counterpoise) affects resonance, how results differ in between chambers, what kind of antennas are used and what kind of representations deliver the best results.

The topic is tackled from a real-world perspective with an optical isolation device, detailed investigations of chamber construction and round-robin methods.

The simulation side always tries to prove or disprove theories with a kiss approach and gradually increasing complexity.

At the end we briefly show how close we currently can get with an actual DUT and provide a prospect into the future on how to possibly improve the measurement method itself and what details might have to be put additionally into the simulation models.

Marc and Peter show the interesting ups and downs of their learning curve!
