Abstract

A collaborative project between the University of Warwick, Rover Group, Lucas Rists Wiring Systems, FEGS Ltd. and Electro Magnetic Applications Inc. has started. It will investigate the effect of using lightweight structures on the electromagnetic performance of motor vehicles. The success of the project will be dependent upon the development of new statistical approaches to the correlation of modelled data using FDTD code and measured data from real vehicles and specifically designed test jigs. This paper considers the subject of automotive electromagnetic immunity, presents the aims and objectives of the project and discusses the methods to be used
