This appendix specifies the HIRF environ-
ments and equipment HIRF test levels for
electrical and electronic systems under
§ 29.1317. The field strength values for the
HIRF environments and laboratory equip-
ment HIRF test levels are expressed in root-
mean-square units measured during the peak
of the modulation cycle.

(d)
Equipment HIRF Test Level 1.
(1) From 10 kilohertz (kHz) to 400 mega-
hertz (MHz), use conducted susceptibility
tests with continuous wave (CW) and 1 kHz
square wave modulation with 90 percent
depth or greater. The conducted suscepti-
bility current must start at a minimum of
0.6 milliamperes (mA) at 10 kHz, increasing
20 decibel (dB) per frequency 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 fre-
quency 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.
