Accessory Test Operation Guide

4.1 Near-field probes
Using a near-field probe with a receiver can directly measure the frequency and amplitude of the interference signal, which is very effective in finding electric and magnetic field interference. Compared with similar probes, the Baluelec near-field probe has high gain and small volume, and can perform quantitative measurements.

4.1.1 Use a near-field probe to find electromagnetic leakage in the chassis gap
Any shielded case has gaps, various windows and input/output lines, and electromagnetic waves are likely to come from These places leak out. The solution is: all the gaps must be blocked with conductive voltage strips, and the window Different light-transmitting shielding materials should be used for the mouth. All input/output lines must pass through filters and shielded enclosures external circuit connections. If the selection or installation of conductive voltage strips and filters is not suitable, or the light- transmitting screen of the window If the performance of the shielding material is not good, there will be electromagnetic leakage, and the near-field diagnostic probe can be used to check the leakage location and leakage. the size of.

Measurement methods

1. Device connection
   Connect the near-field probe to the spectrum input of the spectrum analyzer.

2. Parameter setting

1. Reset the instrument —Press [Preset] 2) Setting parameters
   —Press[FREQ]key to adjust the center frequency to the estimated detection frequency
   —Press[SPAN]key to set the sweep width to the widest first, so that the display will be a panoramic spectrum.
   Move the probe (as shown in the figure) at the place where the EUT needs to be inspected (such as gaps, ventilation windows, etc.).
   Adjust the center frequency to a relatively large spectral line, and use the frequency marker to observe the frequency and amplitude of the spectral line.

After seeing a relatively large interference signal, reduce the sweep width and IF bandwidth to observe the details of the spectral line part. If the measured signal is too small, then

• Press the [BW] key to reduce the IF bandwidth, and press the [Attenuator] key to reduce the attenuation You can also turn on the internal preamplifier, or use an external low noise amplifier to amplify the measured signal.
• Press[AMPT]key to adjust [reference level], and adjust the amplitude of the signal under test to a position convenient for observation. Observe while moving the probe. Find the relatively large radiation frequency and amplitude. It is also possible to use the maximum hold Function record signal line
• Press [Trace]key to select [Maximum Hold] function
• Press[Marker]key to move the cursor to the spectral line to be measured

4.1.2 Use a near-field probe to find the source of electromagnetic interference on the PCB
Electronic circuits are composed of many components (resistors, capacitors, inductors, transistors, integrated circuits, semiconductors
Switching devices and high-frequency clock processor chips, etc.) are connected by wires, cables and connectors. each element
Devices have their inherent characteristics, and some components can generate strong electromagnetic radiation.
Some cables are often bundled together, which creates a potential hazard for near-field coupling or crosstalk. wire
It can be equivalent to a dipole antenna and can act as a radiation antenna, thus becoming a part of the electromagnetic interference radiation source
It can also function as a receiving antenna and becomes an important part of the system that is sensitive to radiated emissions. use near field
The diagnostic probe can find out the components with large electric field radiation and the magnitude of the electromagnetic field radiation.
The measurement method is the same as 4.1.1.

The above are all relative measurements, and relative measurements can only qualitatively analyze the magnitude of the measured signal.
For example, the radiated emission (RE102) measurement of a certain military equipment exceeds the standard, and at 100MHz, the limit value is exceeded 10dB, in order to meet the requirements of the military standard, this product must be reinforced and improved.
The correct way to strengthen is to measure with a diagnostic probe first, and the signal exceeds the standard at 100MHz.
The magnitude value of the number, measure after reinforcement measures, compare the data of the two measurements, if the second measurement data
The value reduced by less than 10dB compared with the first measurement data indicates that the reinforcement measures are not enough. If the reduced value
If it is greater than 10dB, it may pass the military standard limit requirement. Because the change of the electromagnetic field strength in the near field and the change of the far field The rules are basically the same.

4.1.3 Quantitative testing (absolute value measurement) is possible with near-field probes
All TEMPEST electromagnetic field probes have been calibrated by nationally certified measurement units, and the corresponding
Probe calibration coefficient AF, with which the field strength quantitative test can be carried out, and the absolute
For the field strength value, such as the electrical field near the transmitter, substation, radio room, computer room, cabinet and inside the case, etc.
Places with strong magnetic radiation.
The calculation formula of electromagnetic field theory is as follows:
Electric field strength E(dBBμv/m)=V(dBBμv )+AF(dB/m)
Magnetic field strength H(dBBμA/m)= V(dBBμv )+AF(dBs/m)
Magnetic induction (magnetic flux density) B(dBpT) = H(dBÿA/m)+2dB= V(dBBμv )+AF(dBs/m) +2dB
In the formula: V(dBBμv ) —— measured value of spectrum analyzer
AF(dB/m)——electric field probe correction factor
AF(dBs/m)——Correction coefficient of magnetic field probe
Measuring with a diagnostic probe is different from the method of measuring according to the military standard. The diagnostic measurement is a near-field measurement, and the near-field measurement is a With a probe, the probe is in close proximity to the radiation source. The measurement according to the electromagnetic compatibility standard basically belongs to the far-field measurement, and the far-field measurement The amount is with an antenna. The military standard requires that the distance between the antenna and the device under test is 1m. In order to eliminate the environmental electromagnetic interference, the radiation emission Radiation measurements must be carried out in a shielded dark room.
Probe Measurement Error Analysis: There are many factors affecting near-field measurement

1. The magnetic component of the signal is coupled to the probe through magnetic induction, while the electrical component is coupled through capacitive onto the probe. Since the distributed capacitance is not fixed, the induced electric component also changes, so each measurement The repeatability is poor.
2. Influence of the probe: when th e probe is placed near the radiation source, due to the presence of the probe, the The capacitance of the source is increased, thereby changing the distribution of the current at the interaction point, thus changing the flux density of the source Spend. This can also lead to measurement errors.
3. The wave impedance in the near field changes and is particularly sensitive to the position of the probe.
4. The influence of the human body: when a person holds the probe, the electrical signal component can pass through the separation between the human body and the probe. The distributed capacitance is coupled to the probe, and the position of the person or the method of holding the probe is different, the distributed capacitance is also different. same.

During diagnostic measurement, keep the human body as far away from the probe and measurement cable as possible to eliminate the influence of the human body. Due to electromagnetic waves There is a problem with the direction of polarization, so the direction of the probe should be rotated during the measurement in order to measure the largest signal. For phase For measurement, the conditions before and after the measurement should be as similar as possible. As long as you pay attention to the measurement method, you can reduce the measurement error.
Due to the many measurement errors caused by near-field measurement, how to equate the near-field measurement data to the far-field
There is no ready-made theoretical calculation formula. Because the size of the shielded darkroom is different, the electromagnetic wave reflection is different, The test distance is different, so it is difficult to derive a theoretical calculation formula for the equivalent far and near field. However, there are conditions Some units can conduct actual measurements according to the specific conditions of their own laboratories to find out a rule. In general, near The electromagnetic field strength measured in the far field is much stronger than that measured in the far field, and it increases with frequency The difference also decreases linearly. In this way, it can be pre-estimated whether the device under test can pass the military standard requirements.

4.2 Current Sense Probes and Current Injection Probes
Most of the interference signals are related to the presence of interference currents in wires and cables, which can wait for
The effect is a loop antenna and a dipole antenna, which can both transmit and receive signals. In EMC measurements,
Measuring the performance of the transmitted signal on the cable of the equipment is called conducted emission measurement; applying a certain intensity to the cable of the equipment
To assess the anti-interference ability of the equipment with a high-degree signal is called conduction sensitivity measurement. Whether measuring interference on the cable
Whether to inject disturbances into the cable, a coupling device is required, which is usually called a current probe (or called a current caliper). Current probes can be classified into current sense probes and current injection probes. Current sense probe Used to measure conducted emissions, to measure interference on conductors and cables; current injection probes are used to measure conducted susceptibility Quantity, that is, the technology of injecting strong interference signals into the cable, referred to as BCI (Buik Current Injection). When using a current probe, the probe does not touch the wire, and generally does not change the normal state of the circuit under test. State of working or normal arrangement.

Connect the current detection probe to the input terminal of the spectrum analyzer, and snap the current detection probe to the power line under test, In this way, the electromagnetic interference on the power line can be measured, and it can also be stuck on  the signal line to measure the interference on the signal line.
As shown below.

4.2.2 Measuring the Conducted Sensitivity of the DUT with a Current Injection Probe

Measurement methods:
Clamp the current injection probe to the signal cable or power line under test, and pass the output signal of the signal source through the The power amplifier is amplified and added to the current injection probe, and the current detection probe is used to monitor the injection into the wire Signal current size. In this way, the purpose of sensitivity measurement can be achieved. As shown in Figure 4.6.

4.3. Measuring common-mode and differential-mode signals with a common- differential mode separator
The traditional conduction measurement can only measure the total amount of conduction interference of the device under test from the L/N detection terminal of the LISN.
The total amount of interference includes common-mode components and differential-mode components. I don’t know how much each of the common- differential mode components is. This gives EMI It is difficult for design and modification engineers to choose which filter to use.
With the common and differential mode separation function in the EA3040B integrated analyzer, the common mode can be separated from the total interference Component and differential mode component, which is convenient for designers and rectification personnel to carry out interference analysis and directional processing.
The specific operation of the common-differential mode separation function is explained below with specific examples.

1. Device connection
   Connect the equipment according to the GJB151A/152A conducted emission measurement in section 6.3. After the actual connection as shown in the figure 21.

2. Parameter setting
   —PressÿModeÿkey
   —Press [EMI Receiver] — by [Standard] – Press [Conduct] —Press [CE102-1]

3. Total interference measurement
   After the parameters are set, connect the detection terminal “L Output/N Output” of the front panel LISN to the frequency spectrum After the scan is stable, observe whether the curve exceeds the standard limit, and adjust the frequency to exceed the standard limit.
   On the target spectral line, at this time, the total amount of interference exceeds the standard by 22dB at 131kHz. As shown in Figure 4.8.
