impedance stabilization network

ISN / CDN for 50 ohm Coax Cable

  • Impedance Stabilization Network (ISN) for 50 Ω coaxial cables — measures common-mode conducted emissions on 50 Ω coax telecom/data ports per EN 55022/32 (CISPR 22/32) and CISPR 16-1-2.
  • 150 Ω common-mode termination per CISPR 22/32 — presents the standard-defined common-mode impedance to the EUT so disturbance voltage at the measurement port is stable and repeatable.
  • 50 Ω BNC EUT and AE ports — direct mate to standard 50 Ω coax data/RF cabling without adapters.
  • Test antennas, RF sensors, and instrumentation with 50 Ω coax — common-mode emissions measurement on antenna feeds, RF probes, and lab instruments.
  • GPS / GNSS / Wi-Fi / Bluetooth active-antenna feeds — verify conducted emissions on the 50 Ω coax lead to the active element before radiated tests.
  • 50 Ω BNC measurement port on top of housing — direct mate to spectrum analyzer / EMI receiver for the disturbance voltage scan.
  • Also usable as a CDN for IEC/EN 61000-4-6 conducted immunity — secondary capability over the same 150 kHz–230 MHz band when needed.
  • Individually calibrated; unpainted bottom surface bonds directly to the reference ground plane — three-year warranty; pairs with the SPA-900TG series spectrum analyzer / EMI receiver.
