Assembly of the KIT

Measurement description

The network simulation “Dual DC LISN” is used to measure the conducted 

interference emissions of a test object in the frequency range of 150 kHz 

up to 200 MHz. The device based on the CISPR 25 / ISO 7637 standard for 

automotive electrical systems. It measures the RF interferences on both 

channels of such systems by using blocking inductance of 5

μ

H.

The measurement should do in following steps:

 ›

DUT (device under test) and LISN placed on a conducted plane

 ›

ISN inserted between power supply and DUT

 ›

DUT connection should be not more than 50cm and straight above the 

plane

 ›

Connect RF output A to analyzer for measuring the differential mode 

noise from positive line or to output B to analyze the negative line

 ›

For measuring the common mode noise additional hardware is needed

Because of strict symmetrical construction to both RF-outputs it is possible 

to extract both kinds of distortion DM and CM. There is a need of passive 

combiner circuits (e.g. Minicircuits ZSCJ-2-2+ (DM) and ZSC-2-2+ (CM)) to 

measure this on a receiver (e.g. Spectran). Other solutions are possible. A 

second solution is to use an oscilloscope with dual input and mathematics 

(add, FFT). The results are similar to an EMI receiver.

Essential safety instructions

1.  Please only use in inside rooms. For the power supply refer to the 

technical characteristics.

2.  The product may only be used by authorized technical staff. The local 

or country-specific safety and accident prevention regulations must be 

observed for all work.

3.  During operation of the product, function-related increased 

electromagnetic radiation and near fields can occur. Taking into 

account the increased need for protection of unborn life, pregnant 

women should be protected by suitable measures. People with 

pacemakers can also be at risk from electromagnetic radiation. The 

influence of electronic products outside of the operational EMC 

environment should be prevented by maintaining an appropriate safety 

distance or by using shielded rooms.

4.  Products / components must not be operated electrically, mechanically 

and / or thermally beyond their intended use.

5.  To ensure proper operation, no changes may be made to the device.

6.  Do not use the product under conditions in which condensation could 

or has occurred in or on the product, e.g. when the product has been 

moved from a cold to a warm environment.

7.  Please only use neutral detergents for cleaning. Never use alcohol, 

benzene or thinner.
