Numerical Prediction by MWS of Conducted and Radiated Disturbances on Circuits and Cables Produced by an ESD Event

The aim of this paper is to investigate conducted and radiated effects produced by a commercial electrostatic discharge (ESD) generator into circuits by using a commercial numerical code such as Microwave Studio (MWS) based on the finite integration technique. The ESD generator is efficiently modeled by the software tool, and the contact-mode discharge current is well reproduced taking into account the loading effect of the generator. The numerical models are validated by experimental results
