Description
Summary:The results of immunity tests on components of self-driving automobiles to radiated high power electromagnetic (HPEM) pulses are presented in this work. It is of particular interest to investigate such automobiles' resilience towards deliberate attacks with electromagnetic interference (EMI). Different types of HPEM capabilities at the Bundeswehr Research Institute for Protective Technologies and CBRN Protection (WIS) in Munster are applied for this investigation. Two types of automotive components have been tested, a two-axis acceleration sensor and an electronic power steering unit. Statistics of errors from the devices under test (DUTs), as well as a characterization of the applied pulses are presented. A correlation can be drawn between the pulse repetition rate or the amplitude of the applied pulses and the severity of the effect on the DUTs.
