Abstract

Simulating the complete electromagnetic field of the calibration setup for ESD testing holds two major difficulties: (A) the relevant dimensions of the setup are both very small (millimeters) and very large (meters); and (B) the time behavior of an ESD pulse is rather fast (subnanoseconds). In the first part of this paper we present new ideas to overcome these problems. The second part deals with measurements of the target current and field quantities. A new target with flat frequency responses is used in order to overcome the drawbacks of the widely used Pellegrini target which has a resonance at 3 GHz. Comparisons between measurements and simulations are also presented
