Coupling Decoupling Network (CDN) Types S / RJ45-S / USB / Firewire / HDMI

For immunity testing according to IEC/EN 61000-4-6

For coupling and decoupling of interference signals on screened lines CDN S-Types are used. Despite the variety of connectors the interference signal is in all cases coupled to the cable shield via a 100 Ω resistor. A device for direct coupling is also available (without decoupling network).

DIRECT INJECTION DEVICE, S-DIR
100 Ω connector for RF disturbances 150 kHz – 230 MHz
Description:
The disturbing signal coming from the test generator is injected on to screened and coaxial cables via a 100 Ω resistor (even if the shield is ungrounded or grounded at one end only). In between the auxiliary equipment (AE) and the injection point, a decoupling circuit shall be inserted as close as possible to the injection point. To increase decoupling and to stabilize the circuit, a ground connection shall be made from the screen of the direct injection device´s input port to the ground reference plane.
Technical Specification:
Frequency range (RF In) 150 kHz – 230 MHz
Common mode impedance (IN/OUT) 100 Ω
Power Rating (RF In) 6 W (continuous)
Connector Out Alligator clip; max. cable diameter 30 mm
Connector In BNC

IMMUNITY TESTING:
CDNs are the preferred coupling and decoupling devices, for reasons of test reproducibility and protection of the auxiliary equipment (AE). CDNs shall be used for appropriate coupling of the disturbing signal to the various cables connected to the equipment under test (EUT) and for preventing applied test signals from affecting other devices, equipment and systems that are not under test.

EMISSION TESTING:
Some selected CDNs meet the requirements of CISPR 15 and CISPR 22 for emission testing in the extended frequency range of 80 MHz to 300 MHz. Along with the common mode impedance a curve of the voltage division factor over the frequency range of up to 300 MHz is supplied with these CDNs. Currently the types CDN-AF2, CDN-T2, CDN-M2, CDN-M3 and CDN-M2+3 meet the requirements of CISPR 15 / CISPR 22.

CALIBRATION:
In order to calibrate a CDN you require:
– specific calibration adapter
– mounting bracket
– 150 Ω to 50 Ω adapter
For the first CDN a mounting bracket and a 150 Ω to 50 Ω adapter need to be acquired. For each additional CDN only a specific calibration adapter needs to be acquired.
