Hans J. Liebe and Douglass D. Crombie, “Estimates of Maximum Electric Field Strengths in the Automobile Environment,” Technical Report NTIA TR-79-16, U.S. Department of Commerce, National Telecommunications and Information Administration, Institute for Telecommunication Sciences, February 1979.
Abstract: Strong electromagnetic (EM) energy sources up into the microwave range are examined and estimates are made of maximum EM field conditions to which automobiles could be exposed. The results are meant to alert automotive engineers to potentially hazardous EM radiation that might upset on-board electronic control devices.
Keywords: ambient free field conditions; electromagnetic environment; EM degradation; field strength maxima; strong EM field sources
