How to perform a MIL-STD CS114, Conducted susceptibility, bulk cable injection test

This application note explains how the MIL-STD CS114, Conducted susceptibility, bulk cable injection test can be performed with RadiMation®

The exact requirements and test methods for the CS114 are specified in the MIL-STD-461.

Necessary equipment

The following devices are necessary to execute this test:

  • Signal generator
  • Amplifier
  • Coupler
  • Forward power meter
  • Reflected power meter (optionally)
  • Current sensor
  • Sensor power meter / Analyser
  • 50 Ohm load
  • 50 Ohm attenuator
  • LISN
  • Current injection device
  • Current injection calibration jig (Calibration fixture)
  • Cable drivers with corrections
