Equipment HIRF Test Level 1. 

(1) From 10 

kilohertz (kHz) to 400 megahertz (MHz), use 
conducted susceptibility tests with contin-
uous wave (CW) and 1 kHz square wave mod-
ulation with 90 percent depth or greater. The 
conducted susceptibility current must start 
at a minimum of 0.6 milliamperes (mA) at 10 
kHz, increasing 20 decibels (dB) per fre-
quency decade to a minimum of 30 mA at 500 
kHz. 

(2) From 500 kHz to 40 MHz, the conducted 

susceptibility current must be at least 30 
mA. 

(3) From 40 MHz to 400 MHz, use conducted 

susceptibility tests, starting at a minimum 
of 30 mA at 40 MHz, decreasing 20 dB per fre-
quency decade to a minimum of 3 mA at 400 
MHz. 

(4) From 100 MHz to 400 MHz, use radiated 

susceptibility tests at a minimum of 20 volts 
per meter (V/m) peak with CW and 1 kHz 
square wave modulation with 90 percent 
depth or greater. 

(5) From 400 MHz to 8 gigahertz (GHz), use 

radiated susceptibility tests at a minimum 
of 150 V/m peak with pulse modulation of 4 
percent duty cycle with a 1 kHz pulse repeti-
tion frequency. This signal must be switched 
on and off at a rate of 1 Hz with a duty cycle 
of 50 percent. 

(e) 

Equipment HIRF Test Level 2. 

Equipment 

HIRF test level 2 is HIRF environment II in 
table II of this appendix reduced by accept-
able aircraft transfer function and attenu-
ation curves. Testing must cover the fre-
quency band of 10 kHz to 8 GHz. 

(f) 

Equipment HIRF Test Level 3. 

(1) From 10 

kHz to 400 MHz, use conducted susceptibility 
tests, starting at a minimum of 0.15 mA at 10 
kHz, increasing 20 dB per frequency decade 
to a minimum of 7.5 mA at 500 kHz. 

(2) From 500 kHz to 40 MHz, use conducted 

susceptibility tests at a minimum of 7.5 mA. 

(3) From 40 MHz to 400 MHz, use conducted 

susceptibility tests, starting at a minimum 
of 7.5 mA at 40 MHz, decreasing 20 dB per fre-
quency decade to a minimum of 0.75 mA at 
400 MHz. 

(4) From 100 MHz to 8 GHz, use radiated 

susceptibility tests at a minimum of 5 V/m.
