    Approximation of High Intensity Radiated Field by Direct Current Injection using matrix methods based on Characteristic Mode Analysis
    This contribution discusses the approximation of radiated by conducted immunity tests by the example of High Intensity Radiated Field (HIRF) and Direct Current Injection (DCI) based on a surface current analysis. For this purpose, Characteristic Mode Analysis (CMA) is applied to provide basis functions for a surface current expansion in Characteristic Modes. Via a matrix-based basis transformation algorithm involving Characteristic Mode data of both HIRF and DCI test setups, suitable DCI surface currents are derived. The approximation of HIRF surface currents by the computed DCI surface currents is analyzed for exemplary DUTs over a broad frequency range. Within this frequency range, those DCI frequencies leading to an optimal approximation of the HIRF current are determined. Concerning practical issues in DCI testing, the influence of DCI adapter parameters on the surface current approximation is elucidated. The numerical results show that DCI can approximate HIRF at low frequencies largely independent from the DCI adapter setting, whereas at high frequencies an approximation is difficult to realize.

    Calculation of the Combined Electric Field Response of Multiple Nonlinear Antenna Loads due to HPEM Excitation
    The electromagnetic properties of receiving and scattering structures with nonlinear components are difficult to predict, especially if more than one nonlinear load is involved. In this contribution a frame antenna with two diodes that act as nonlinear loads is analyzed. This receiving antenna structure is illuminated by a polarized plane wave, carrying a transient HPEM signal. It is then the given task to compute the electric field distribution in the vicinity of the antenna. To this end, a macromodel of the nonlinearly loaded structure that relates the transient signal to the electric field measured at an observation point is derived. As a result it is seen how recent macromodeling techniques can be applied to solve the given problem step by step. This provides the possibility to further analyze the interaction of the given nonlinear loads by a general framework.
