Calibration and use of AMNs and absorbing clamps

This report has been written to advise test engineers and others on the best practice techniques for the use and calibration of transducers for RF conducted emissions and disturbance power measurements. These measurements are inherent in many European EMC standards that are based on the CISPR emissions methods, and form an important part of testing to meet the compliance requirements of the European EMC Directive.

Several experiments were carried out to determine the effect on measurement result of various factors, such as grounding of the LISN, positioning of the EUT, cable layout and so on. The report presents the results of these experiments and makes recommendations for improvements in the use and calibration of these transducers.
