Abstract :
The design of a square Helmholtz coil pair for MIL-STD-462D RS101 radiated susceptibility magnetic field testing is detailed. The square coil shape provides a uniform magnetic field volume that is better suited to typical DUT (device under test) shapes when compared to round coils. The coil pair provides a 30×30×40 inch (76×76×102 cm) test volume. Capacitors are used to resonate the coils and reach the MIL-standard specified test field levels over most of the frequency range
