For in-house pre-compliance testing, we use a VBW of 10Hz to approximate the time response of an AVG detector. Seems to work quite well. _____________________________________________________________________________________

For reference, EN 302 208-1, Sec. 8.3, 8.4, 8.5. Detection mode: Averaging Which averaging would this be? On the SA that I'm using, There is video averaging by reducing the VBW to something a lot smaller than RBW. There is EMI average detector, and There is average detector which has two modes, power and video. (one is the log of the average of power, the other is the average of the log of power.) And there is a multiple sweep averaging of the above. And there is adjusting the sweep time while averaging is turned on. And adjusting the span to be measured has an effect on the average measurement. Each can give a different result. So starting with the always correct answer in EMC, "it depends," what are these dependencies? ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the Symantec Email Security.cloud service. ______________________________________________________________________ - ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message is from the IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society emc-pstc discussion list.
