The EUT was placed 0.4 meters from the conducting wall of the shielded room with EUT being connected to the power mains through a line impedance stabilization network (LISN). Other support units were connected to the power mains through another LISN. The two LISNs provide 50 ohm/ 50uH of coupling impedance for the measuring instrument. b. Both lines of the power mains connected to the EUT were checked for maximum conducted interference. c. The frequency range from 150kHz to 30MHz was searched. Emission levels under (Limit - 20dB) was not recorded. NOTE: The resolution bandwidth and video bandwidth of test receiver is 9kH…
