Radiated Emissions
The CNE III is a broadband noise source which
provides continuous output power from 9kHz to 2GHz. The
broadband nature of the output enables the observation of
details within the spectrum which would be missed with a comb
generator. For radiated operation three monopole antennas,
optimized for different bands of the spectrum, are available
which attach to the top of the unit. The CNE III is an ideal
source for carrying out checks on open area test sites (OATS)
and anechoic chambers.
The CNE III is battery powered to allow
operation as an electrically small source which minimizes the
effect of the structure of the CNE III itself when
characterizing the electromagnetic environment. Conversely, if
desired, cables may be attached to the earth stud or the RF
output to allow characterization and investigation of the
effects of changes in the wiring layout on measurements. The CNE
III is housed in a metal box so that it can be mounted in direct
contact with a metal ground plane as may be required by some
tests. The power output level of the unit avoids the overloads
possible with impulsive noise sources which may cause damage to
the sensitive input circuits of receiving equipment.
Conducted Emissions
In the same way that using the CNE III with an
antenna can be used to check radiated measurement systems, a BNC
connector provides a direct 50Ω matched output which can be used
to carry out checks on conducted measurement systems. An adaptor
is available (LSA02) which provides a capacitive link from the
output of the CNE to a standard IEC 320 mains power connector.
This allows checks and investigations on conducted measurement
systems to be made, for example using a LISN or an absorbing
clamp.

Radiated Emissions
The CNE VII is a broadband noise source which provides continuous
output power from 1.5GHz to 7GHz. The broadband nature of the output
enables the observation of details within this band of the spectrum
which would be missed with a comb generator. An integral antenna is
housed in the top of the unit. The CNE VII is an ideal source for
carrying out checks on open area test sites (OATS) and anechoic
chambers.
The CNE VII is battery powered to allow operation as an independent
source without the effect of power or interconnecting cables, which
would modify the fields generated. The CNE VII is housed in a
cylindrical metal enclosure ensuring uniformity of the radiated
field and allowing it to be orientated to give either vertical or
horizontal polarized fields. The metal enclosure also allows the
unit to be mounted in direct contact with a metal ground plane as
may be required by some tests. |
