Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) - Part 4-35: Testing and measurement techniques - HPEM simulator compendium

IEC/TR 61000-4-35:2009(E) provides information about extant system-level High-Power Electromagnetic (HPEM) simulators and their applicability as test facilities and validation tools for immunity test requirements in accordance with the IEC 61000 series of standards. HPEM simulators with the capability of conducted susceptibility or immunity testing will be included in a further stage of the project. In the sense of this report the group of HPEM simulators consists of narrow band microwave test facilities and wideband simulators for radiated high power electromagnetic fields. IEC 61000-2-13 defines high power electromagnetic (HPEM) radiated environments as those with a peak power density that exceeds 26 W/m2 (100 V/m or 0,27 A/m). This part of IEC 61000 focuses on a sub-set of HPEM simulators capable of achieving much higher fields. Therefore, the HPEM radiated environments used in this document are characterized by a peak power density exceeding 663 W/m2 (500 V/m or 1,33 A/m). The intention of this report is to provide the first detailed listing of both narrowband (hypoband) and wideband (mesoband, sub-hyperband and hyperband) simulators throughout the world. HEMP simulators are the subject of a separate compendium (IEC 61000-4-32) and thus are outside the scope of this Technical Report. After an introduction, a general description of HPEM simulators, as listed in this Technical Report, is presented. A database has been created by collecting information from simulator owners and operators and this data is presented for the technical characterization of the test facilities. In addition, some important commercial aspects, such as availability and operational status, are also addressed.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all
national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international co-
operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in
addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation
is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may
participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising with
the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all interested
IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any equipment
declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and expenses
arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent
rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
The main task of IEC technical committees is to prepare International Standards. However, a
technical committee may propose the publication of a technical report when it has collected data
of a different kind from that which is normally published as an International Standard, for example
"state of the art".
IEC 61000-4-35, which is a technical report, has been prepared by subcommittee 77C: High
power transient phenomena, of IEC technical committee 77: Electromagnetic compatibility.
The text of this technical report is based on the following documents:
Enquiry draft Report on voting
77C/189/DTR 77C/193/RVC
Full information on the voting for the approval of this technical report can be found in the report
on voting indicated in the above table.

This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until the
maintenance result date indicated on the IEC web site under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data
related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.
A bilingual version of this publication may be issued at a later date.

HPEM simulator compendium
1 Scope
This part of IEC 61000 provides information about extant system-level High-Power
Electromagnetic (HPEM) simulators and their applicability as test facilities and validation tools for
immunity test requirements in accordance with the IEC 61000 series of standards. HPEM
simulators with the capability of conducted susceptibility or immunity testing will be included in a
further stage of the project. In the sense of this report the group of HPEM simulators consists of
narrow band microwave test facilities and wideband simulators for radiated high power
electromagnetic fields. IEC 61000-2-13 defines high power electromagnetic (HPEM) radiated
environments as those with a peak power density that exceeds 26 W/m (100 V/m or 0,27 A/m).
This part of IEC 61000 focuses on a sub-set of HPEM simulators capable of achieving much
higher fields. Therefore, the HPEM radiated environments used in this document are
characterized by a peak power density exceeding 663 W/m (500 V/m or 1,33 A/m). The intention
of this report is to provide the first detailed listing of both narrowband (hypoband) and wideband
(mesoband, sub-hyperband and hyperband) simulators throughout the world.
HEMP simulators are the subject of a separate compendium (IEC 61000-4-32) and thus are
outside the scope of this Technical Report.
After an introduction, a general description of HPEM simulators, as listed in this Technical
Report, is presented. A database has been created by collecting information from simulator
owners and operators and this data is presented for the technical characterization of the test
facilities. In addition, some important commercial aspects, such as availability and operational
