Benefits
What Is RS103 Testing?
RS103 (Radiated Susceptibility) is a test method defined in MIL-STD-461 used to evaluate how electronic equipment performs when exposed to electromagnetic fields over a wide frequency range.
The purpose of radiated susceptibility testing is to ensure that systems:
- Continue to operate as intended under electromagnetic exposure
- Are not susceptible to interference from external RF sources
- Maintain functional performance in mission-critical environments

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between RS103 and RE102?
The former measures immunity to external electromagnetic fields, while RE102 measures emissions generated by the equipment.
Is RS103 testing required for all military equipment?
This evaluation is commonly required as part of MIL-STD-461 compliance, depending on the application and platform.
Can RS103 testing be combined with other EMC tests?
Yes. This evaluation is typically performed alongside other MIL-STD-461 tests within a complete EMC validation program.
