the current probe was 0.34 Ohms. Then, as outlined in Step

(2), 150/0.34 = 441.1 microamperes in test sample lead.

In Terms of Microampere per Megahertz in Test

Sample Lead (Broadband Interference

Measurement)

1. Adjust the EMI test equipment for standard gain and

make a measurement of the broadband interference

(voltage output from current probe), in terms of

microvolts-per-megahertz at meter input. Use

procedures outlined in the EMI test equipment

instruction manual.

2. Divide the microvolt-per-megahertz measurement of

Step (1) by the transfer impedance in Ohms at the test

frequency. The result is the value of conducted

broadband interference in terms of microamps-per-

megahertz in test sample lead.

Example:

Frequency is 10.0 kHz; Step (1) measurement is 8,000

microvolts-per-megahertz. For example, suppose the

transfer impedance of the current probe was 0.39 Ohms.

Then, as outlined in Step (2), 8000/0.39 = 20,513

microamps-per-megahertz in test sample lead.
