Near-Field Based Far-Field Prediction for Efficient EMC Testing
Overview
Near-Field Based Far-Field Prediction for Efficient EMC Testing
Conventional far-field EMC tests require large anechoic chambers and long-range test sites.
These facilities cause very high costs and severe spatial constraints for EMC verification.
Large and complex systems for urban and high-speed rail need fast, accurate EMC checks in real operation.
The system predicts far-field radiation by using near-field measurements instead of direct far-field tests.
It supports on-site measurements and digital twins to analyze location-specific electromagnetic characteristics.
Core Competencies
Purpose
Near-field-based far-field prediction system replacing large anechoic and long-range tests, enabling fast and accurate EMC evaluation of railway on-board equipment.
Captures near-field data and pre-processes it for spherical wave expansion and Fourier-transform-based far-field pattern prediction.
Provides far-field prediction with maximum error within 3 dB and RMSE ≤ 5% versus measured far-field values.
Offers H/W and S/W system for far-field prediction based on digital twins, with performance verification completed in December 2029.
