Abstract

Electrostatic discharge(ESD) is a highly repeatable problem with harmful effects. These effects include destroying computer systems memory, damaging the electronic circuits, electromagnetic interference on the airplane radar and avionics systems, and destroying the surfaces. Knowing the places where electrostatic discharges have occurred in the airplane body can help in the airplane cost reduction for scanning and finding the resulting defects of ESD. Also, it informs the pilot and crews for example to know why communication and radar systems do not work correctly. So, it causes airplanes to be designed and fabricated safer. On this basis, in this article, the position of the electrostatic discharge in the cylindrical structure of the airplane has been obtained by the TDOA method. The accuracy of the estimation in the simulation is 9cm and in the measurement is 11cm.
