Configurable Calibration Jig

The Configurable Calibration Jig device driver is a Calibration Jig which is supported by RadiMation^®.  

Configuration

The following tabs are available in the advanced configuration of the Configurable Calibration Jig:

The frequency range of the Configurable Calibration Jig as provided by the manufacturer is shown and selected as default. It is possible to overrule these frequencies and to manual adjust the allowed frequency range of the Configurable Calibration Jig.

Use default start frequency

If the checkbox is checked, the default start frequency will be used as the lowest usable frequency in a test for this device.

Custom start frequency

If the Use default start frequency checkbox is unchecked, another start frequency (expressed in MHz) can be specified. The customized start frequency will then be used as the lowest usable frequency in a test for this device. The customized frequency can be a limitation or an extension of the default start frequency.

Use default stop frequency

If the checkbox is checked, the default stop frequency will be used as the highest usable frequency in a test for this device.

Custom stop frequency

If the Use default stop frequency checkbox is unchecked, another stop frequency (expressed in MHz) can be specified. The customized stop frequency will then be used as the highest usable frequency in a test for this device. The customized frequency can be a limitation or an extension of the default stop frequency.

Specifying a different frequency range can be useful if for example:

• A device (like a coupler, antenna, injection device, cable, etc...) is still useable (but out of specification) outside the standard suggested frequency range.
• An external mixer is used to measure an extended frequency range.
• An up- or down-convertor is used to shift the frequency range.
• A newer model of a device is present that has an extended frequency range, and still uses the same remote control commands.

Be careful changing these setting as RadiMation^® is no longer able to verify if the Configurable Calibration Jig is used outside frequency range that is specified by the manufacturer. This may result to serious damage of your measurement device.

It can be used to control other measurement equipment, for which no RadiMation^® device driver is available yet. The Configurable Calibration Jig allows to create a device driver to specify the details of a calibration jig that is used to calibrate a CDN or Injection Device. The configured device driver can then be used in RadiMation^®, and the calibration jig can thus be used during a conducted immunity calibration.

Start Frequency

The lowest usable frequency of the device.

Stop Frequency

The highest usable frequency of the device.

Resistance

The impedance of the injection system itself, for which the calibration jig is used to calibrate it. In a 150 Ω injection system, thus 150 Ω should be specified, even though the Calibration Jig itself only contain 100 Ω resistors. In a 150 Ω injection system, this is the combination of the 100 Ω resistors in the calibration jig, and the 50 Ω typical impedance of the powermeter or analyser that is connected to the calibration jig. In a 50 Ω injection system, thus 50 Ω should be specified, even though the Calibration Jig itself does not contain any impedance adaption resistors. The impedance of the system itself is then only defined by the 50 Ω typical impedance of the powermeter or analyser that is connected to the calibration jig.

The ability of an EUT to be immune to incoming electromagnetic interference. This is equivalent to the term susceptibility that is used by some standards.
