Spectrum Analysis

DESIGN PHASE:       analysis
SUB ELEMENT NAME:   spectrum analysis
VARIABLE NAME:      [HEAS]
DATE:               REVISION LETTER:    REVISION DATE:  
APPLICABILITY:      switching mode circuit or rectifier circuit

ACTIVITY:  Calculate input current spectrum and compare to MIL-
STD-461 limits.

OUTPUT:  Plot of calculated spectrum superimposed over applicable
MIL-STD-461 limits in laboratory notebook and/or future design
letter.

ALGORITHM:

[HEAS] =            engineer hours for spectrum calculations
0                   estimate of time to calculate and make plot
