CORRELATION BETWEEN RADIATED IMMUNITY AND COUPLING ATTENUATION Michiel Pelt
Need for new test method: No test methods to measure: symmetrical cables, connecting hardware / cable assemblies balance at higher frequencies combined effect of balance and screening Introduction
Coupling attenuation New and easy test method to evaluate the EMC performance of channels and components (symmetrical + screened) Standard prepared by CENELEC TC 46X / WG3: EN 50289-1-6 Under discussion in ISO / IEC JTC1 SC25 WG 3 and CLC TC 215 WG 1 Introduction
A near field measurement Introduction
Simplifications Device under test: unshielded twisted pair cable coaxial cable dual foil balanced cable Radiated immunity according to IEC 61000-4-3 fixed position antenna and device Introduction
Coupling attenuation Coupling attenuation
Definition coupling attenuation Coupling attenuation ac = 10 LOG10 ( P1) max[ P2n; P2f ] ac coupling attenuation P1 input power inner circuit P2n maximum near end peak power P2f maximum far end peak power
