Open Source Hardware Dual 5µH DC LISN with 10dB Attenuator and Transient Limiter for Spectrum Analyzer EMC work.
A LISN is a Line Impedance Stabilization Network used in conducted emissions testing.
The AIM of this Dual LISN is to be used for EMC pre-testing with frequency range 30kHz(or lower) to 110MHz(or up to 150MHz or more).
This open source hardware LISN V1 R0 include following features:
-
Designed with fully open source tools like KiCad 5.99 Nightly
-
Improvement in this design:
- Added simulation with LTSpice of the 10dB Attenuator / Transient Filter (with default 1N4148 and BAV99 see Simu dir)
- Modified Supply & DUT "+ GND -" to be separated by 19.06mm for 4mm BANANA JACK for BNC adapter
- Use BAV99 instead of 1N4148W Diodes (improve 10dB Attenuator and Transient Limiter to be flat up to >200MHz)
- Replace Keystone 575-4 by Keystone 575-8 (as the 575-4 was too short)
- Added more via for better thermal transfer/decoupling around capacitors ...
-
Dual LISN in one aluminum box(Hammond 1590B)
- Maximum current: 5A
- Nominal operating voltage range: 0V to 60V DC
- Include 10dB Attenuator and Transient Limiter for each SMA connector to be connected to a Spectrum Analyzer
- Max. 1W / 30dBm if 50°C Temperature raise is allowed
- The Transient limiter is a 9kHz HP filter, which is also a dc block.
This work is heavily based on work from others mainly Jay_Diddy_B & Noy from EEVBLOG forum.
