Radiated Band VSWR Performance Test

This test measures the Radiated Band return loss in both 10 dB attenuation and 0 dB attenuation. CISPR 16-1-1:2019 (Section 4.2) requires that the VSWR below 1 GHz be < 2.0:1 for 0 dB Input Attenuation, and < 1.20:1 for 10 dB Input Attenuation.

The VSWR measurement is broken into two tests; VSWR Conducted Band, and VSWR Radiated Band. The VSWR Conducted band measurement covers 9 kHz to 30 MHz. The VSWR Radiated band measurement covers the 30 MHz to 40 GHz range. For frequency 18 GHz and below, the specifications refer to CISPR 16-1-1:2019, Section 4.2.

The Standard EMI Receiver will have a Type-N female connector on both RF inputs.

Option C35 will have a 3.5 mm (m) connector in the RF Input 1 port only. Option C35 will require a Type-N, S11 calibration to be made for RF Input 2, and then a 3.5 mm, S11 calibration to be made for RF Input 1.

Option 544 will have a 2.4 mm (m) connector in the RF Input 1 port only. Option 544 will require a Type-N, S11 calibration to be made for RF Input 2, and then a 2.4 mm, S11 calibration to be made for RF Input 1.

Either a mechanical calibration kit or ECal module can be used for this test. The mechanical kit is the preferred solution.
