This article mainly introduces the test use and calibration instructions of two FCC current probes (current injection and current monitoring).FCC current probes are manufactured by the U.S. FCC and authorized to be sold by EUTTEST agent products. We can provide authorization certificates for bidding and other operations, contact us for more information. For more information, please contact us.

CS-Conducted Immunity Test Description

Current probes are divided intoInjection proberespond in singingmonitoring probeThe general injection probe is used for CS conducted immunity testing;

Monitoring probe for cable bundle current method test, cable bundle in the standard test need to test all communication cables at the same time, as a rectification and troubleshooting can be used in the way of current probe + spectrometer/receiver to confirm the source of RF signal interference.

The BCI closed-loop method of testing requires that both the injection and monitoring probes operate simultaneously to confirm that the sample current actually injected into the EUT DUT meets the standard requirements.

FCC Current Probe Calibration Method

When using a current probe, we need to focus on the following two elements:

  • How do I calibrate the transmission impedance of a current probe?
  • How to calibrate the voltage VSWR of a current injection probe?

Both of the above questions use the test configuration shown below, the current probe calibration needs to be matched with a standard calibration fixture, the current probe will be coupled to the center conductor of the fixture of high-frequency current, the left side of the conductor end of the 50-ohm load (pay attention to the power), the right side of the access to the spectrometer to read the current probe injected into the 50-ohm cable on the standard signal.

CE-Conducted Emission Current Method Test Description

Conducted emission testing, especially the current probe test method required by the CISPR25 standard, requires the testing of interconnecting cable interference currents up to 108MHz, which requires the use of a current probe in conjunction with a receiver/spectrometer. The peak and AV values captured after testing need to be compared with the CISPR25 limit line.
