DC8: Non-linearities as the basis for electromagnetic health monitoring of critical information and communication systems
Project: Non-linearities as the basis for electromagnetic health monitoring of critical information and communication systems (WP3)
Host institution: WIS (Germany)
Supervisor: Martin Schaarschmidt (WIS, Germany)
Co-supervisor(s): Heyno Garbe (LUH, Germany), Tim Claeys (KU Leuven, Belgium), Robert Kebel (Airbus DE, Germany)
Objectives:
- Investigate and describe the non-linear behaviours that manifest in the emission spectrum of ICT systems when exposed to HPEM.
- Conduct controlled EMI tests on representative systems with different complexities to quantify non-linearities.
- Develop an advanced diagnostic tool capable of pinpointing the subsystems most affected by external interference.
Expected Results:
- Comprehensive understanding of the non-linear behaviours in emission spectra, shedding light on how EMI affects ICT systems.
- Quantified vulnerability profiles, providing insights into how different systems respond to external interference.
Planned secondment(s):
- Academic secondment: KU Leuven, Tim Claeys, M24-M26, 2M, Monitoring of communication signals in ICT systems in HPEM environments.
- Industrial secondment: Airbus DE, Robert Kebel, M29-M32, 3M, Experimental verification of non-linear behaviors of various aircraft digital information and communication (ICT) systems in HPEM environments
