RE: Probing power plane with analyser

2000-10-02 Thread Cameron O'phee
Thankyou to all those who responded to my probing question. My initial response to the engineer was to try and characterise the board using near field probes however he is intent on looking directly at the 3v power rail. Given this, my primary concern is with protecting the analyser. Since his f

From: "Bob Lewandowski" Picosecond Pulse Labs (www.picosecond.com) manufactures coaxial DC blocks that operate from 700 Hz to >26 GHz (3 dB BW) and stand off 16 Vdc. You can also get a .086 in. diameter 'Semi Flex' coax cable from Tensolite/QMI (www.qmiinc.com). It has tin dipped bare o

Cameron: That's fairly easy to do as long as you: 1. Take all measurments from the same reference points before and after the changes and 2. Use a DC block on the input to the analyzer ;other wise you may have an expensive input to replace. Most analyzers inputs are not protected for DC. Most

Cameron, If you are looking for a measure of the conducted RF coming off the board the standard AC LISN works for DC power as well. The voltage probe per CISPR 16 will also work and gives a standardized impedance that can be probed from point to point (or if you are looking for a "down and d
