TEST & MEASUREMENT APPLICATION NOTES AND WHITE PAPERS

Ensuring Test Site Compliance for Radiated Emissions With Normalized Site Attenuation
This application note provides a synopsis of Normalized Site Attenuation (NSA) and Reference Site Method measurements which indicate a challenging but important aspect of radiated emissions measurements on an OATS, SAC, or FAR.
Basic Bulk Current Injection Testing
Bulk current injection (BCI) testing is a conducted susceptibility procedure that uses an injection current probe. This paper provides an example of BCI testing, covering all steps, including gathering the required equipment, pre-calibration procedures, injection testing procedures, and safety precautions.
Battery Simulation With DC Power Supplies
This application note guides users in creating custom battery models for R&S^®NGM200 and R&S^®NGU201 power supplies, enabling gradual battery discharge via QuickArb and data logging, with recorded data adaptable for battery simulation using a provided developer tool.
Load Transient Response – Enhancing Loop Stability Testing
Ensuring stability in power supply design requires validating switching converter stability through frequency loop and load transient responses, aided by modern oscilloscopes for visualizing PWM signals and identifying converter effects.
