Double bulk current injection: a new harness setup to correlate immunity test methods

Double bulk current injection (DBCI) method has been proposed to reproduce the same current injection obtained in the case of an electromagnetic coupling with an incident plane wave. Good correlation can be obtained between this DBCI method and the stripline method, and also between DBCI and anechoic chamber methods. But there is no simultaneous correlation between these three methods because the stripline and the anechoic chamber methods are not based on the same coupling modes. This paper proposes a new harness setup conserving the standard harness length of 1 metre, in order to obtain a good correlation between all three test methods. The experimental validation given in this paper shows very encouraging results
