A new and easy approach to create BCI models

In this article, new lumped-parameter models of current clamps are proposed and discussed. The models were extracted from measured S parameters of a clamp mounted onto a calibration fixture. The generated bulk current injection (BCI) and current probe simulation models were used in the electromagnetic (EMC) testing of a realistic cable harness according to the ISO 11452-4 standard. The accuracy and efficiency of the proposed simulation model were estimated by comparing the simulated results with measured data.
