Abstract

A three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) model is used to simulate basic GTEM to OATS and GTEM to free space radiated emissions correlation algorithms. The GTEM models are terminated both with the typical resistor/foam absorber load, or alternately with a numerical absorbing boundary condition to simulate a perfectly-matched load. Radiation from dipole and loop antennas and a 19" dummy EUT is simulated in FDTD GTEM, OATS, and free space models. Comparison is shown of simulated and measured data for these same antennas and EUT fed by a comb generator. Very good agreement is shown between the measured and computed results. Several considerations regarding correlation algorithm application in one-port TEM waveguides are discussed
