  4. Introduction: What’s GTEM? • GTEM cell – Giga-Hertz Transverse Electromagnetic cell. • Tapered Coaxial Transmission Line with 50  termination at both ends.

  5. Introduction: What’s GTEM? • Designed for use as EMC radiated emission and radiated immunity test facility without impact of the ambient electromagnetic environment.

  6. Introduction: What’s GTEM? • At the input, a normal 50 coaxial line is physically transformed to a rectangular cross section. • The cross sectional dimensions are a ratio of 3:2 horizontal to vertical cross sectional dimensions. b b/a = 3/2 a

  7. Introduction: What’s GTEM? • The centre conductor – septum, is a flat and wide conductor that will produce a uniform electrical field distribution underneath it which form a test volume for testing the EUT.
