DISRUPTION OF EUBACTERIAL 4.5S RNA -P48 COMPLEX

Not Available An in-situ cable shielding effectiveness tester (CSET) is proposed for use with aircraft cables. Using built-in components and an external analyzer, the CSET will be capable of conducting shielding effectiveness measurements simply and quickly with no need to disturb the cable being tested. The person conducting the test will simply connect the analyzer to an existing port, start the automated test program, and produce a frequency-dependent assessment of the shielding effectiveness highlighting any behavior that falls below a specified threshold. Development of the CSET will require research by Physitron in three different areas: in the area of the built-in components; in the area of the external analyzer; and in the integration of the two units into the final system. For Phase I, design and analysis of a prototype system will be conducted along with sufficient laboratory measurements to demonstrate feasibility of the concept. Then in Phase II a complete CSET will be built, tested, and demonstrated to the Air Force using aircraft cables. In addition, during Phase I, a commercialization plan will be initiated with an instrumentation manufacturer in preparation for incorporating the CSET into a newly produced aircraft.
