  • Page 3: Measurement Procedure

    1 Measurement procedure The ESA1 is suitable for carrying out comparative measurements of disturbances emitted by modules directly at the developer's workplace. Since the effect of any changes to the module becomes evident immediately, the time needed to optimize the unit under test can be dramatically reduced.

  • Page 11: Practical Procedure

    3 Practical procedure 3.1 Measuring with ESA1 The measurements carried out with the ESA1 are relative measurements. Thus it is important to define a measurement set-up and document the initial state first. Measuring results from previous measurements under standard conditions provide crucial information on critical frequency ranges and the extent of necessary improvements.

Figure 16 2D diagram Figure 17 3D diagram It does not matter if the measured data was recorded in different frequency ranges. Individual measurement curves can be displayed or hidden and each curve can be assigned a certain color or description to provide a better overview.

The voltage difference generated in the area of the plug-and-socket connector causes a compensating current to flow through HFW 21 and its capacitive connection to the ground plate back to the GND of the basic unit.

    LANGER DE-01728 Bannewitz ESA1 mail@langer-emv.de EMV-Technik www.langer-emv.com This set-up has a disadvantage: the voltage differences remaining from the areas of the basic unit, plug-and-socket connector and GND of the interface module are measured as well. Wherever functionally possible, you should initially operate the interface module separately without the basic unit (Figure 31).
