RF Current Monitor Probes

(855) 364-2362

For conducted emission tests

Current monitor/sensing probes measure superimposed RF currents flowing in conductors or cable harnesses. The main application is to measure conducted emissions to meet various EMC standards. Somc common standards that require conducted emissions measurements include CISPR 16-1-2, DO-160 and Mil-std 461.

Application of RF Current Probes
In general, RF current probes are employed to monitor, or measure, the asymmetrical disturbance RF currents on a wire, cable or cable bundle without making direct conductive contact with the source conductor. The current is measured inductively by clamping the probe around the conductor(s) to be tested. No actual contact is made with the conductor(s), and the insulation is left in place. Essentially, a current probe is a torroidal transformer where the conductor(s) act as a single turn primary, and the probe as a multiple turn secondary.
Current Probe Calibration Fixture
Current probes are calibrated through the use of a calibration fixture which provides a 50Ω coaxial-type transmission line arrangement. The fixture allows the probe to be clamped around the center conductor, while the outer conductor encapsulates the probe on four sides, so that the transmission line characteristics are not compromised. See calibration fixture picture on the following page.
