To all: I'm reading EN 60601-1-2:2001, and I'm not clear on a sentence in Annex ZA. It says: "For undated references the latest edition of the publication referred to applies (including amendments)." 1) Is it the 'latest edition' when EN 60601-1-2:2001 was published? The annex lists the vali

HI Cody, we perform pre-scan and the do final measurements on an OATS. In the body of the test report I address our process. I also give the reader confidence that we know what were doing on an OATS by citing some of the techniques we use to discriminate signals from interference. The report o

sorry, do not know, as I cannot find the 'ambient' base scan data. FWIW, the test engineer at the lab said all the scans were 'ok'. caveat -> some old computers that have been bounced around can be very noisy - so test each individual machine. Have two 2000-era Compaq Deskpros (exact same config)

Radiated Emission Reports when using an OATS

Dear All, How do EMC test houses handle interference within test reports when using an OATS? Will they report a full prescan with all the interference or do they only report quasi peaked points and their values. We have been using a precompliance chamber for internal testing and we just finished

Most op-amps these days have a gain-bandwidth product of multiple megahertz, and so would be suitable. If I were make this, I would use such an op-amp. I usually favor an inverting configuration to keep the op-amp inputs from swinging with the input voltage. You would want to have a 10 kohm resist
