Harmonic Measurement For IEC 61000-4-3 And Other Radiated Immunity Standards
Amplifiers exhibiting significant harmonic distortion in immunity test systems can exhibit broadband characteristics that result in measurement uncertainty and unacceptable errors. This app note addresses acceptable harmonic measurement standards and other radiated immunity standards.
RF Test Setup For Measuring Power & Harmonics
Power measurement is accomplished by using a high-power calibrated coupler or attenuator, which gets attached to the Amplifier RF output connector. Harmonics are recorded similarly by increasing the input drive from the signal source.
Electronic Packaging: Using EMI Material-Based Solutions
It can be difficult when individual components could pass EMI testing but, as the components are combined into subsystems or into the final product, the DUT fails. Incorporating EMI shielding materials as part of an initial design is the most cost-effective way to prevent these last-minute issues during testing.
De-Embedding Test Fixtures For High-Speed Digital Applications
Test fixtures are commonly used in high-speed digital measurement to connect devices to measurement equipment. Characterization and analysis in time and frequency domains help remove the influence of these fixtures.
How To Test USB Power Delivery Over Type-C
USB Type-C compliance test standards are more complex due to higher data transmission speeds and more power. Successful testing requires accurate and compliant test instruments, software, and fixtures.
