Electromagnetic Effects Engineering

Electromagnetic interference and contamination (EMI/EMC) is a concern in spacecraft where different subsystems are simultaneously transmitting and receiving signals independently. Northrop Grumman has successfully reviewed EMI/EMC design and test criteria. The Galileo and Microwave Limb Sounder flight projects have received extensive Northrop Grumman support. And, our staff tested military equipment under development by JPL to characterize emissions of security-classified data that a hostile force could exploit.
