Investigation of Measurement Uncertainties and Errors in a Radiated Emission Test System

Abstract

Several important measurement uncertainties and errors associated with test receivers and preamplifiers in a radiated emission test system are rigorously investigated. It is found that some defective RF connectors can have abnormal insertion loss (∼0.8 dB in our study) at certain frequencies. Signal synchronization between the signal generator and the test receiver is found to be an important factor in cable attenuation measurements, and an uncertainty of about 0.8 dB is recorded between using and not using signal synchronization. The measurement uncertainty associated with the preamplifier gain variation is found to be as large as 0.47 Db, when the temperature changes from the room temperature (25°C) to 35°C or to 15°C. The results obtained in this study provide additional knowledge to the existing measurement standards used in the industry. They also have important implications for practical measurements in seeking to fulfil industrial measurement standards.

Unconsidered but influencing interference in unmanned aerial vehicle cabling system

“…Furthermore, when analyzing electromagnetic interference and polarization effects in practical scenarios, additional factors and techniques need to be considered. The simulations accounted for cable connectors and reflections, which can affect the overall measurement value [23]. Additionally, the simulations utilized plane waves as a source without considering correction factors for the antenna's radiation  ISSN: 2088-8708 pattern.…”

Field Deviation in Radiated Emission Measurement in Anechoic Chamber for Frequencies up to 60 GHz and Deep Learning-Based Correction

“…Te authors used transmission-line theory and a dipole antenna model to present a novel method for estimating radiated emissions from electrically long printed circuit board traces [18]. Some other studies on RE measurement include discussions of the efects of test sites on the measurement results concerning site voltage standing wave ratio [19], absorber refectivity and chamber size [20], measurement uncertainty, and the efects of site variability and measurement equipment [21,22].…”
