Boeing D6-16050-5 Electromagnetic Interference Control Requirements

Boeing D6-16050-5 Electromagnetic Interference Control Requirements

Developed by Boeing, a multinational American aerospace company that designs and manufactures aircraft, helicopters, rockets, satellites, telecommunications equipment, and missiles worldwide, the Boeing D6-16050-5 standard describes the electromagnetic compatibility requirements and provides test methods for electrical and electronic devices used in the production of aircraft.

Boeing D6-16050-5 Electromagnetic Interference Control Requirements

The RTCA/DO-160E document, titled “Environmental Conditions and Test Procedures for Airborne Equipment,” published by the Radio Technical Commission for Aviation (RTCA), describes the required test conditions and procedures. This document mandates that Boeing, Airbus, and other manufacturers test avionics components and subsystems. The Boeing D6-16050 standard is based on the electromagnetic compatibility tests described in this document and primarily includes the following subsections:

  • Boeing D6-16050-2 Electromagnetic interference control requirements
  • Boeing D6-16050-4 Electromagnetic interference control tests
  • Boeing D6-16050-5 Electromagnetic interference control tests for composite aircraft

The Boeing D6-16050-5 standard mainly includes the following tests:

  • AF electric field sensitivity - Wiring
  • AF magnetic field sensitivity - Wiring
  • AF magnetic field sensitivity - Equipment
  • Conducted radio frequency (RF) susceptibility testing - 10 kHz to 400 MHz
  • Radiated radio frequency (RF) sensitivity test - 100 MHz to 18 GHz
  • Induced spike susceptibility
  • AF capacitive coupling
  • AF inductive coupling
  • Emissions transmitted by radio frequency (RF)
  • Radio frequency (RF) radiated emissions

Electromagnetic interference control (EMI) in telecommunications is the control of radiated and transmitted energy to reduce, minimize or eliminate emissions that are unnecessary for system, subsystem or equipment operation. There are three different methods that help reduce or eliminate electromagnetic interference: filtering, grounding and shielding. A direct way to get rid of unwanted signals is to filter them, and most new equipment uses this method to minimize electromagnetic interference.

Among the numerous tests, measurements, analyses, and evaluations our organization provides for businesses in various sectors, we also offer testing services related to electromagnetic interference control requirements under the Boeing D6-16050-5 standard, utilizing a trained and expert staff and advanced technological equipment.
