Lessons Learned in Platform-level Compatibility
Tim McDonald, PhD has supported numerous aerospace and defense certification programs. Along the way, there have been a few compatibility emergencies that required careful analysis to find a path to compliance verification. Fortunately, many of these programs-maintained simulation models of the full platform. By having available “virtual” compliance testing at the platform level, we have been able to understand the impact and design mitigations before a major program delay was required. In this talk, we will describe these individual compliance issues. We will discuss the steps required to maintain an accurate simulation model of the full platform. Finally, we will discuss how the “virtual” testing was used successfully to find a fix to the issue.

How to Identify and Mitigate RF Interference (RFI)
RF systems are everywhere. We heavily rely upon them for a wide variety of military and commercial applications. RF systems are typically designed in isolation to meet commercial or military requirements. However, meeting unit level requirements does not ensure compatibility when multiple RF systems are in close proximity to one another. Matt Miller has been involved with RFI problems for the past 20 years. His career began with The Boeing Company where he worked on cosite interference problems for AWACS, Wedgetail, Sea Launch, ISS, and other programs. He served as the President of Delcross Technologies where the EMIT software was developed for analyzing RFI problems. Today, he leads a team of engineers at EMA helping customers to identify and mitigate RF interference problems. EMA is also developing an Automated Radio Measurement System (ARMS) for characterizing the broadband performance of transmitters and receivers. In this presentation, Matt will describe common RFI problems and how to use measurement and simulation to effectively mitigate these problems early in the design stage of systems so as to avoid costly fixes and schedule slips.
