Overview of a Wideband Communications EMC Analysis System

A model has been developed to support the design and analysis o f shipboard RF communication systems including a wideband RF architecture. The wideband RF architecture considered in the pro­ gram involves the use of narrowband exciters whose outputs are combined, fed into a common wideband power bank and connected to broadband antennas. At the receiving system, a single electrically small, broadband antenna is used, followed by a wideband RF amplifier, several wideband multicouplers and a number o f narrow­ band receivers. It is the latest version of a sequence of models developed by both the Electromagnetic Compatibility Analysis Center (ECAC) and
