Abstract
Very high frequency (VHF)-line impedance stabilization network (VHF-LISN), which is defined as the termination device for mains cable of equipment under test to specify the input impedance of each line at the mains power supply outlet, can improve correlation between test sites that perform radiated emission measurement. Balanced and unbalanced types of VHF-LISN are currently under proposal with International Special Committee on Radio Interference (CISPR) as a device for prescribing the terminating condition of the power supply cable. Simulation analysis with common mode (CM)/differential mode (DM) signal sources was performed to investigate the emission characteristics with the two types of termination devices under several measurement arrangements that used two-wire and three-wire mains cables. Furthermore, to confirm the validity of the simulation analysis, measurement of a versatile comb-generator-operated by ac mains was performed under the same test arrangement and two types of termination devices. Quasi CM/DM signal from an ac-operated comb generator was injected back into the mains cable of the same comb generator. This article explains how we ascertained the radiated emission characteristics with each termination device, and provides guidance for their appropriate usage.
