Derek, The horn antenna is an impedance matching device for getting between 50 ohm lines and 377 ohm free space while launching TEM mode wave fronts. You could use the commercially available one which has an awful antenna factor. It's broadband as a result of the ribs placed in the horn. Just

Horn Antenna

Hi, I'd like to construct a wide band horn antenna covering from about 1 GHz to 10 GHz or so. This is used only to generate a field inside a small EMC Chamber ( about 1 metre by 0.7 metres ), so I'm not worried about gain flatness etc I just want field;-) Any thoughts about: 1)

Hello, testing according to MIL-STD 461D could do it, but real NATO standards are STANAG 4434, 4435 and 4436. These STANAGs define tests and limits of equipment designed to be used on metallic surface ships, nonmetallic surface ships and submarines. Regards Ludger Revermann -Ursprüngliche

Keith, Without looking at the specifics. Disruption from a discharge can be caused by direct high voltage gradients, localized breakdown which then applies direct high voltage, and the often forgotten current injection where the discharge makes enough current flow that the flow induces a

For those just looking for ergonomics information, there is an excellent MIL-STD that covers nearly every aspect of human/equipment interface, with reference dimensions for various percentages of a sample population. It covers everything from desk height to strength required to turn knobs. I lost
