5.3 Transverse Electromagnetic Cell
Figure 5-3 shows the top and side views for a sample test configuration of an ISO 11452-3:2001(E) style
TEM cell test. The glass optical fiber isolates and protects the stimulus equipment from the electrical dis-
turbances produced during testing. The E-O Converter inside of the TEM cell is grounded to the metal floor
using copper tape. For automated TEM Cell testing, the E-O Converter’s
ePHY Error
Versatile Link
transmitter
output is connected by a POF cable with
Versatile Link
connectors to a
Versatile Link
receiver outside of the
TEM cell. Both network coding errors and unlock events are indicated on the
ePHY Error
output and can be
monitored and recorded at the
Versatile Link
receiver. Figure 5-4 shows a photograph of a typical TEM cell
test configuration.
