This paper suggests the design of two ultra-wideband antennas for the application of transient field measurements that are characterized by frequency spectra in the range from a few MHz to several GHz. The motivation for their design is the excitation of high power transient pulses within highly resonant metallic enclosures. The presented measurement and simulation results reveal that the suggested antennas do achieve satisfactory broadband characteristics and ensure high pulse form fidelity.

This contribution investigates the approximation of a well-established immunity test method for electronic equipment by an alternative test method, which so far has only been applied to electronic equipment in aircrafts. The alternative method can provide a similar test environment under certain test conditions, yet offers additional advantages with respect to practical criteria like time and cost saving. It is thus promising for further industrial applications, such as the automotive industry.

The response of antennas with nonlinear loads is investigated. In this contribution we present a method capable to perform simulations on antennas with multiple nonlinear loads that are less time and memory consuming than traditional proceedings. Moreover, these methods also contribute to a better understanding of observed effects. This is shown using an antenna with two nonlinear loads. A deep insight on how nonlinear loads affect the reception behavior of an antenna will be provided.

In this contribution the effects of repetitive pulse excitations on linearly and nonlinearly loaded antennas are studied on the basis of equivalent circuit models. This is important to understand in the context of Electromagnetic Compatibility possible nonlinear effects which often are not included in the analysis. It is found that a surprisingly large capacitive effect can be produced which has no counterpart in the linear case and is accompanied by the storage of unwanted electric energy.

A numerical method is presented which is capable to compute the electromagnetic fields created by the current of a spatially extended lightning channel. The coupling of these fields into simple models of aircraft fuselages is investigated, where the electric material parameters of the fuselages correspond to those of realistic layered carbon fiber composite.

Short summary
Ethernet connections can suffer from data corruption due to intentional electromagnetic interference. In this paper a software-based measuring method is presented, which allows a direct assessment of the effects on the link layer without an unwanted influence of software related effects on higher protocol layers. This gives a simple tool for a quantitative analysis of the disturbance of an Ethernet connection based on time domain data.
