How to perform a MIL-STD-461 CS101, Conducted susceptibility, power leads[edit]

This application note explains how the MIL-STD-461 CS101, Conducted susceptibility, power leads test can be performed with RadiMation®

MIL-STD-461 CS101 is a test method used in military and aerospace environments to assess the conducted susceptibility of equipment to low-frequency interference, 30 Hz - 150 kHz, ensuring it operates reliably in the presence of conducted disturbances.

The exact requirements and test methods for the CS101 are specified in the MIL-STD-461.

Necessary equipment[edit]

The following devices are necessary to run the calibration and EUT test:

  • Signal generator
  • Amplifier
  • Oscilloscope or measurement receiver
  • 0.5 Ω resistor
  • Coupling transformer

Define the calibration test level[edit]

The CS101 EUT test is limited by the power levels specified in CS101-2, applied through a 0.5 Ω resistor.
During the calibration RadiMation® is levelling on a voltage and the corresponding signal source is recorded which is used during EUT testing to limit on.

To calculate the corresponding voltages based on the power levels the following formula can be used:

This results in the following voltages:

Frequency Power Voltage
30 Hz 80 Watts 136 dBµV
5 kHz 80 Watts 136 dBµV
150 kHz 0.09 Watts 106.5 dBµV

A new correction file for the calibration test level can be created by selecting the menu:

   Menu.svg File
      Menu.svg New
         Menu.svg Correction

CS101 Calibration level.png

Information.png
 Note: Make sure to add the Vrms column with Columns/Units and remove the Correction column. In addition change the Unit to dBµV.

Store the correction file for the power limit by selecting the menu:

   Menu.svg File
      Menu.svg Save correction

Then specify a descriptive name for the test level correction file on disk, for example: 'CS101-2 power limit.cor'.

Calibration procedure[edit]

The calibration is performed to determine the signal source required for the corresponding power level through the 0.5 Ω resistor, which will be used during EUT testing as limit.

Conclusion[edit]

The MIL-STD-461G CS101 calibration can be performed by using the Conducted susceptibility calibration. The RadiMation® Conducted immunity multiband test can then be used to perform the MIL-STD-461G CS101 EUT test with a voltage closed loop test level to regulate and a calculated voltage limit with a calibration file to limit on power during the EUT test.
