Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) – Surface transfer impedance – Triaxial method

Section 6.2.3.3 of ISO 19642-2 defines the surface transfer impedance test using the tri-axial method. This measures the EMC screening effectiveness of the cable shield.Surface transfer impedance quantifies how much external electromagnetic energy couples through the screen to the inner conductor, and is the primary measure of cable shielding quality for automotive EMC compliance.
