Simulation of radiated narrow band electromagnetic interference for components in the automotive industry (bulk current injection)

Electro-smog is a term which stands for all kind of electromagnetic fields which are around the world, such as RF (radio frequency) field from radio and TV stations, radiation from high voltage transmission lines, mobile communication and high frequency emission from household equipment. In this paper, we will analyze the influence of such radiated fields on products used in the automotive industry. The bulk current injection assert itself more and more as a rational, cost efficient, repeatable and simple to apply test method. This is the reason why more and more manufacturer selects the BCI as test method.
