Abstract :
A description of SEMCAP (Specification and Electromagnetic Compatibility Analysis Program) is given. The program uses mathematical models of interference generators and receptors and of the indirect transfer mechanisms linking them. The program calculates the voltage received at the receptor through capacitive, inductive, E¿ and H¿field coupling. The application of the program to the Orbital Test Satellite is described. The accuracy, limitations and cost effectiveness of the program are discussed.
