Hello Group, Reading CISPR 16 and CISPR 22, I had some doubts about the correct setup for doing conducted emissions testing. I'd like to know if someone can put a light on this subject.
My questions are: - The "ground plane" is really needed? If I don't use one, my results will be wrong? Or without a ground plane I'll be testing for the "worse conditions"?? - The ground plane can be made of any metal? Or there are specified ones? - The ground plane must be bonded to the GND connector of my mains? (my outlet is three pins: P, N and GND) - If I understood, the ground plane will be my "reference ground", right? - My testing equipment (receiver+LISN) must be bonded to this same ground plane? The ground plane is bonded to the ground connector of my mains? - I use a PC to collect the test data. Can it be feeded by the same circuit that feeds the EUT+LISN? The ground connector of the PC (the one that's in the three pin plug) should be at the same ground than the ground plane? Thanks in advance and Regards!
