: Re: Conducted Emissions PK/AVG Now this is getting interesting. If you arbitrarily reduce the VBW until you see no time dependent amplitude variation, I think that leads to non-repeatability. That is, if my spectrum analyzer has a 1 Hz VBW, and yours has a 10 Hz VBW, we could get different

Are you sure it says AVG BW 30kHz, and not AVG BW 30 Hz? Is this a typo? Also, quasi-peak should always be at or below the peak measurement. This is why a peak measurement can be made (quickly) and compared to the quasi-peak limit line, and if all the peaks are below the quasi-peak limit, the
