Re: Q on Correlation of Votage ripple with a Spectrum Analyser

Zero span can show rep rate or modulation but it cannot correlate the MHz bandwidth waveform amplitude the scope sees with the amplitude of any particular spectral component to which the spectrum analyzer is tuned. Further, the spectrum analyzer is a much more sensitive device than the scope, and

As I mentioned earlier, the waveform from a switching power supply has two distinct components, due to the fast rise-time driving current into ground (common mode) and the pulse itself which is differential mode. Separating modes allows you to time window properly to really resolve the waveform

You don't say, but I assume that the test set-up is CISPR 22 or ANSI C63.4 or some variant thereof. If it is in fact a test on equipment that mounts in a vehicle, then my answer would be quite different. Tabletop mounted equipment mounts 80 cm above ground on a non-conductive standoff.

I made some measurements once in a 3 meter anechoic chamber built for EN61000-4-3. I was interested in the disturbance a wire causes in a field due to picking up the field, the resultant currents flowing in such a way as to cancel the field that caused them, etc. In order to assess the effect,

My understanding is that it is the 6 dB points which are cited as the bandwidth. I'm not up on CISPR 16 but to entirely specify the bandwidth the 60 dB down points are also specified. The slope you get from the 6 dB to the 60 dB points is called the shape factor. From: Charles Grasso
