Pre-compliance vs. Full compliance measurements
Pre-compliance measurements
Evaluate the conducted and radiated
emissions of a device using correct
detectors and bandwidths before going
to a test house for compliance testing
Full Compliance measurements
Full compliance testing requires a receiver
that meets all the requirements of CISPR
16-1-1 (response to a CISPR pulse gen), a
qualified open area test site or semi
anechoic chamber and an antenna tower
and turntable to maximize EUT signals.

What is EMC?
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC): The ability of equipment to function
satisfactorily in its electromagnetic environment without introducing intolerable
disturbances into that environment or into other equipment.
Combination of Interference and Immunity.
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI):
Electromagnetic energy emanating from one device which causes another device to
have degraded performance.
Electromagnetic Immunity (Susceptibility, EMS): Tolerance in the presence
of electromagnetic energy (Performance degradation due to electromagnetic energy).
Compliance measurements require a receiver that meets the requirements of
CISPR part 16 (for commercial) or MIL-STD-461 (for military).
All EMI receivers require a pre-selector at lower frequencies to limit the input energy
and maintain sufficient dynamic range to meet the CISPR 16 requirements.

Compliance EMI receiver requirements
A CISPR 16-1-1 receiver must have the following functionality in
the range 9 kHz - 18 GHz:
 A normal +/- 2 dB absolute accuracy
 CISPR-specified resolution bandwidths (-6 dB)
 Peak, quasi-peak, EMI average, and RMS average detectors
 Specified input impedance with a nominal value of 50 ohms; deviations
specified as VSWR
 Be able to pass product immunity in a 3 V/m field
 Be able to pass the CISPR pulse test (implies pre-selector below 1 GHz)
 Other specific harmonic and intermodulation requirements
EMC seminar
Page 7
Receiver requirements above 1 GHz
Above 1 GHz regulations require:
1 MHz bandwidth for measurements
No quasi-peak detector
No CISPR pulse test, meaning no additional pre-selector required
 excellent sensitivity
According to current FCC regulations, the maximum test frequency is the
fifth harmonic of the highest clock frequency for an “unintentional radiator”
(for example, computers without wireless connectivity) and the tenth
harmonic for an intentional radiator (such as a cellular phone or wireless
LAN).

Modern Spectrum Analyzer Accuracy
Some modern analyzers approach accuracy of power meter + sensor
• Even better for low-level signals, with narrower noise bandwidth and
the benefit of frequency selectivity
Some factors determining uncertainty:
• Input connector (mismatch)
• RF input attenuator
• Mixer and input filter (flatness)
• IF gain/attenuation (reference level)
• RBW filters
• Display scale fidelity
• Calibrator

Line Impedance Stabilization Networks (LISN)
Purpose of a LISN:
1.
Isolates the power mains from the
equipment under test. The power
supplied to the EUT must be as clean as
possible. Any noise on the line will be
coupled to the X-Series signal analyzer
and interpreted as noise generated by
the EUT.
2. Isolates any noise generated by the EUT
from being coupled to the power mains.
Excess noise on the power mains can
cause interference with the proper
operation of other devices on the line.
3. The signals generated by the EUT are
coupled to the X-Series analyzer using a
high-pass filter, which is part of the LISN.
Signals that are in the pass band of the
high-pass filter see a 50-Ω load.

Transient Limiter
The purpose of the limiter is to protect the input of the EMC analyzer from
large transients when connected to a LISN. Switching EUT power on or off
can cause large spikes generated in the LISN.
Limiter
LISN
DUT
The Agilent 11947A transient limiter incorporates a limiter, high-pass filter,
and an attenuator. It can withstand 10 kW for 10 μsec and has a frequency
range of 9 kHz to 200 MHz. The high-pass filter reduces the line frequencies
coupled to the EMC analyzer.

Field Strength Unit
Radiated EMI emissions measurements measure the
electric field. The field strength is calibrated in dBμV/m.
Pt = total power radiated from an isotropic radiator

Field Strength and Antenna factors
Radiated EMI emissions tests measure the electric field. The
field strength is calibrated in dBμV/m.
Antenna factors is the ratio of the electric field (V/m) present
at the plane of the antenna versus the voltage out of the
antenna connector.
Log units:
AF(dB/m) = E(dBμV/m) - V(dBμV)
E(dBμV/m) = V(dBμV) + AF(dB/m)
Notes:
Antenna factors are not the same as antenna gain.
dBμV = dBm + 107

Peak ≧ QP ≧Average
Peak Detector
• Initially used
• Faster than QP and Average modes
• If all signals fall below the limit, then the product passes and no future
testing is needed.
QP
• For CW signal, Peak = QP
• Much slower by 2 or 3 order magnitude compared to using Peak detector
• Charge rate much faster than discharge rate
– the higher repetition rate of the signal, the higher QP reading
Average
• Radiated emissions measurements above 1 GHz are performed using
average detection

Close field probe
Measures the magnetic field H strength at the center
of its sense loop. The plane of the probe tip loops
must be perpendicular to the radiating magnetic field

European Norms example
EN55014 (CISPR 14)
This standard applies to electric motor-operated and thermal
appliances for household and similar purposes, electric tools
and electric apparatus.
Limit line use depends upon the power rating of the item.
EN55014 distinguishes between household appliances, motors
less than 700W, less than 1000W and greater than 1000W.
Limits for conducted emissions are 150 kHz to 30 MHz, and
limits for radiated emissions are 30 MHz to 300 MHz.

The compliance measurement process
Before making measurements on your product, some
preliminary questions must be answered.
1. Where will the product be sold (for example, Europe, United
States, Japan)?
2. What is the classification of the product?
a.
b.
c.
d.
Information technology equipment (ITE)
Industrial, scientific or medical equipment (ISM)
Automotive or communication
Generic (equipment not found in other standards)
3. Where will the product be used (for example home,
commercial, light industry or heavy industry)?
With the answers to these questions, you can determine
which standard your product must be tested against.
EMC seminar
Page 41
General Process for Making EMI Measurements

Determine the country or countries in which the product
will be sold which in turn identifies the regulator agency.

Select the limit lines to be tested to (conducted/radiated).

Select the band to be used.

Correct for transducer loses and amplifiers gains.

Identify signals above the limit that must be evaluated.

Zoom in on failed signal and perform quasi-peak or
average measurements.

Conducted Emissions Measurements
1. Connect DUT to the test system
2. Set the proper frequency range
3. Load limit lines and correction factors for LISN and limiter
4. View the ambient emissions with DUT OFF
5. Switch on the DUT and find signals above limits by using peak detector
6. Measure all signals above limits with quasi-peak and average detectors

The challenge of measuring radiated emissions
Radiated Emissions are difficult to
measure because of multiple
dimensions (five) and the use of
quasi-peak detection below 1GHz

2 - Antenna Height
3 - Field Strength

4 - Frequency
41.2563MHz
Radiated Emissions Measurements
1. Connect the antenna
to the EMI receiver and
separate the antenna from
the DUT as specified by the
regulation requirements
2. Set the proper frequency
range and bandwidth
3. Load limit lines and
correction factors for
antenna and cable.
4. With DUT OFF, measure the ambient emissions and store them
5. Switch on the DUT and find signals above limits by using peak detector (only those
not present during the ambient scan). Rotate the DUT to maximize the emissions.
6. Measure all signals above limits with quasi-peak and average detectors

Open Area Test Site (OATS)
EUTs are measured in an open area test site (OATS) or anechoic chamber.
ANSI C63.4 and CISPR 16-1-1 specify the requirements for an OATS, including:
 Preferred measurement distances
of 3, 10, and 30 meters
 Antenna positioning at 1 to 4 meter
Heights
 An area called the “CISPR ellipse”
of major diameter 2X and minor
diameter √3 • X, where X is the
measurement distance; the ellipse
must be free of any reflecting objects
 A metal ground plane for the measurement area
Note: 10 meter anechoic chambers and GTEM cells can also be used for radiated
compliance measurements.
