EN sets limits for the emissions from ISM equipment, at the specified ISM frequencies as well as at the other frequencies in its range. As frequencies fall below 30 MHz any reasonable antenna distance soon becomes in the near field, so it would become necessary to make two measurements — one of the E field and one of the H field — to completely define the emissions in this frequency range. Some military standards employ such near-field radiated field measurements as well as conducted emissions tests on AC mains supply and other cables.
Noise voltages and currents can, of course, be conducted directly from an item of interconnected equipment, via the AC mains supply cables they share, or via any other conductors such as signal or data cables. But conducted emissions are also radiated into the environment, and the resulting RF fields can affect equipment that does not share any conductors with the source of the noise.
When the variations caused by the induced electrical noise are too great, we say that the equipment is suffering from electromagnetic interference EMI or, sometimes, just interference. Obviously, when the noise voltage or current is within the operating frequency range of a circuit, a sufficient level of noise will affect the circuit.
But there are two ways by which disturbances outside the frequency range of a circuit can interfere with it: rectification sometimes called demodulation and intermodulation. All semiconductors respond non-linearly to voltages and currents, with some responding more linearly than others. The typical semiconductor is often assumed to have a square-law response at low levels of current, although this is often a very crude assumption.
The effect of passing a voltage or current through a semiconductor is that positive-going waveforms are amplified more than negative-going or vice-versa, depending on the polarity of the device — resulting in a signal-dependent d. When an RF signal passes through a semiconductor, modulation of the RF signal causes the d. The presence of f 1 together with f 2 say MHz and Three initial frequencies create eight intermodulation products in total, and with four and more initial frequencies the situation is even more complex.
The simple sum and difference frequencies between pairs of initial frequencies can have significantly high levels in some circumstances, leading to the situation where it is the intermodulation product that causes the equipment to fail. All transistors are semiconductors, and are used in all analogue and digital integrated circuits as well as in discrete devices e. But many other types of devices are also semiconductors, for example: diodes, rectifiers, thermistors NTC and PTC , and many types of overvoltage protection devices.
When the new DOW of August loomed the debate over the new tests was still not resolved, so another delay of two years was agreed. The version of EN then had a DOW of 1st August , but even was further delayed, and in EN was adopted and became effective in October This handbook is based on the version and its amendments.
Testing with different versions of the standards can give different results, so it is important to be sure that you are applying the correct version.
If you are only supplying a product into the EU, the situation is clear enough and the version of the standard and its amendments that should be used to satisfy the conformity assessment requirements is described in the official list of standards that can be reached via the website mentioned at [3].
But when supplying the same product to a number of countries or trading blocs, of which the EU may only be one, they will probably require testing to be done to a different version of CISPR 22, with different Amendments and maybe some of their own modifications.
To save repeating the same tests over and over, with slight variations each time, some test labs are able to combine a number of national requirements into one test that, although longer than one test to CISPR 22 or EN , saves time and cost overall.
These test labs can often, at extra cost, provide a special certificate e. Neither of these standards addresses the situation where sensitive electrical or electronic equipment e. The emissions limits in EN were chosen to protect broadcast receivers whose antennas are at least 10 metres away from the equipment being tested, and even then they are not low enough to guarantee protection.
If a product causes interference in real life, it will annoy people and can harm the future prospects of its manufacturer. Where it is wished to avoid such potential situations, designers should assess the likely proximity of their new product to sensitive equipment, or equipment whose reliability is paramount. They should then design and test their product to comply with that new specification.
A wide variety of transducers are available for diagnostic, development and QA measurements of conducted RF emissions, for example close-field probes and current probes, and these are discussed in [9] and [10]. Many of these can be made at low-cost using readily available components, and can provide very useful information throughout a project. They are invasive transducers that must be connected in series with the conductors being tested to standardize their CM and DM impedances.
Reference [11] is a detailed analysis of LISNs and their application. It also presents a stable and well-defined impedance to the EUT across the desired frequency range. The use of transient limiters see section 2. This is easily achieved across most of the frequency range, but poorly designed units can exceed the specification below 50 kHz or above 25 MHz.
Like all EMC transducers, LISNs must be calibrated and their calibration factors sometimes called transducer factors taken into account whenever they are used in an accurate measurement of conducted emissions. Professional emissions measuring instruments usually incorporate algorithms that take all the calibration factors into account, so that their screen display and printouts show the accurate emissions levels.
This means that wires or straps of more than a few inches must not be used, since their inductance is unacceptable. Perfectly good LISNs are available for purchase, but if you wish to construct your own you should recognise that constructing an accurate LISN is not as simple as its schematic might lead you to believe. Here are a few essential construction tips extracted from [11] and [12]:.
Ferrite-cored inductors are available which are much smaller than the air-cored components described above and permit the construction of very compact LISNs. But when using a ferrite-cored inductor for a LISN, bear in mind that most AC-DC mains power converters do not draw sine-wave currents and if the size of the core is inadequate it may saturate at the current peaks and give incorrect results.
This means that filters that give good results on conducted emissions tests might not provide the same degree of filtering in real applications.
For more on the problems of source and load impedances for filters, and on how to choose filters that are more likely to provide reliable attenuation both on LISN tests and with a very wide variety of real-life impedances, refer to section 3. Each protective safety earth connection must be rated for the full value of the possible fault current i.
Staff training in the safe and correct use of LISNs is strongly recommended, and untrained people and third parties must not be allowed to be within reach of LISNs or equipment or cables connected to them. A regular and documented safety check of the integrity of both the protective earth bonds is also recommended. If a purchased or home-made LISN does not have the necessary warning labels already fitted, add them immediately — and in very conspicuous places.
When designing or selecting mains filters it often helps to know the levels and frequencies of the CM and DM emissions from an item of equipment. The LISN itself will attenuate most of the transients on the mains supply — the real problem is the connection and disconnection of the EUT, which can cause V transients to appear at the RF outputs.
