5. CONDUCTED EMISSION DATA

5.1 Test Methods and Conditions

The EUT was under normal operational mode during the conducted emission test. EMI Receiver was
scanned from 150KHz to 30MHz with maximum hold mode for maximum emission. Recorded data
was sent to the plotter to generate output in linear format. At the input of the spectrum analyzer, a HP
transient limiter is inserted for protective purpose. This limiter has a 10 dB attenuation in the range
of 150KHZ to 30MHZ. That factor was automatically compensated by the receiver, so the readings are
the corrected readings. The reference of the plot is the CISPR 22 Class B limit in Figure 5.1 through
Figure 5.2.

Emissions that have peak values close to the specification limit (if any) are also measured in the quasi-
peak mode to determine compliance.

6. RADIATED EMISSION DATA

6.1 Field Strength Calculation
The corrected field strength is automatically calculated by EMI Receiver using following:
                               FS = RA +AF + CF + AG

where FS: Corrected Field Strength in dBµV/m
      RA: Amplitude of EMI Receiver before correction in dBµV
      AF: Antenna Factor in dB/m
      CF: Cable Attenuation Factor in dB
      AG: Built-in Preamplifier Gain in dB (Stored in receiver as part of the calibration data)

The pulse train timing plots are showed in Figure 6.2.
The pulse train timing plots as follows:
The total time for each pulse train is 139.62 ms, The short pulse is 0.640ms, The middle pulse
is 2.5 ms, The long pulse is 4.8m
Coeff. =(56x0.640+1x4.8+4x2.5+(2.88-2.5))/(71.68+5.44+22.88)= 51.02/100=0.51
The maximum average field strength should be 0.51 of the peak field strength measured. So we use
peak value minus 5.85dB as calculated maximum average field strength.

6.2 Test Methods and Conditions

The initial step in collecting radiated data is a EMI Receiver scan of the measurement range below
30MHz using peak detector and 9KHz IF bandwidth / 30KHz video bandwidth. For the range 30MHz
- 1GHz, 120KHz IF bandwidth / 120KHz video bandwidth are used. Both bandwidths are 1MHz for
above 1GHz measurement. Up to 10th harmonics were investigated.

6.3 Test Data

The following data lists the significant emission frequencies, polarity and position, peak reading of the
EMI Receiver, calculated average reading, the FCC limit, and the difference between the peak reading
and the limit. Explanation of the correction and calculation are given in section 6.1.

The bandwidth of the emission shall be no wider than 0.25% of the center frequency, in this case,
1.084MHz(433.5x0.25%). Bandwidth is determined at the points 20dB down from the modulated
carrier. Figure 5.2 shows the occupied bandwidth plot.
