Abstract

Experimental research of extraneous electromagnetic emissions by computing units in the 15–1000 MHz frequency domain is conducted. It is shown that in order to correctly determine the range of radioelectronic intelligence it is reasonable to use weakly radiating cable line as the leaking wave antenna.
