8. L. Dunker / BNetzA/413a8 Result of CISPR/H/WG2 and CISPR/A/WG2 meeting in Cape Town A concept (CISPR/A/WG2(Battermann/ Dunker) for for the estimation the conducting coupling by the AC-mains was presented in CISPR/H/WG2 and CISPR/A/WG2 This concept of the conducting coupling takes into account the characteristics of the AC-mains which have different attenuation for symmetrical and asymmetrical disturbance emissions. The concept deviates from the old CISPR/A/Sec)67; July 1985 CISPR/H/WG2 is interested in this measurement procedure and its results for the weighting of limit on mains CISPR/A/WG2 decided to prepare a draft CD for the measurement equipment and the measurement procedure and to involve CISPR/WG3 in this topic

9. L. Dunker / BNetzA/413a9 Concept of the mains decoupling factor The mains decoupling factor [dB] is defined for the measurement of: U 0 measured on the test site U 1 measured at the antenna’s feed-point

10. L. Dunker / BNetzA/413a10 Concept of the mains decoupling factor Results of the D M,asym and D M,sym measured in a modern installed flat at 19 sockets (Voltage at 50 Ohm)

11. L. Dunker / BNetzA/413a11 Concept of the “coupling loss” The coupling loss of the mains [dB] is the transfer function between two point in a network without constant impedance which can be measured by the disturbance current. The coupling loss is defined as:

Dunker / BNetzA/413a13 Content of to be drafted CD Definitions and characteristic of conducted coupling: Definitions of mains decoupling Definitions of coupling loss Estimation of maximal allowed disturbance voltage Requirements to the artificial disturbance source Output voltage (symmetrical and asymmetrical) Impedances (symmetrical and asymmetrical) Conditions for the connection to PE (Battery powered or mains powered) Requirement to the “coupling device”

Dunker / BNetzA/413a14 Content of to be drafted CD Requirement to the radio dummy Size and type of the radio case and stick antenna Input impedance to the dummy connected with the stick antenna (impedance converter of CISPR 25) Mains connection from dummy case (capacitive) Powered by battery Indication of voltage at the feed-point of the stick antenna (battery powered receiver or spectrum ananlyzer) Conditions for the connection to PE

15. L. Dunker / BNetzA/413a15 Content of to be drafted CD Measurement procedure Measurement on the test site (asymmetrical and symmetrical voltage) Handling of disturbance source and radio dummy (e. g. distance to the environment,…) Measurement of the voltage at the antenna feet-point (mains decoupling) or the currents (coupling loss) Calculate the wanted values: mains decoupling or coupling loss by mean and standard deviation Estimation of the symmetrical decoupling of the mains taking into account mean, standard deviation and the t-quantile

16. L. Dunker / BNetzA/413a16 Action in CISPR/A/WG2 Discussion of the draft CD during the midterm meeting in Frankfurt and decision for further actions It is expected that the CD is basically accepted and this CD is published short after the meeting. The next discussion in CISPR/A could be at the meeting in Sweden. Any comments / cooperation from / with CISPR/I/WG3 are / is welcome.
