Re: Detectors used in EMC testing

Muriel, I once had access to a file that described the history behind adoption of the standard bandwidths and time constants. It was fascinating. However, I neglected to make a copy, and have not seen it for years. Peak detectors are pretty well self explanatory. Whatever the peak signal is, it

RE: Detectors used in EMC testing

Muriel, The Quasi-Peak and Average detectors are specified in CISPR 16. (EN 55016) I don't have a copy, so I can't provide you with cold hard mathematical details of what resistance, capacitance, ... is used. But I can tell you how and why they are used. The Quasi-Peak and Average detectors ar
