NovaStar’s LISN Calibration Capability

What is an LISN?   LISN stands for Line Impedance Stabilization Network. Basically, it’s an instrument used to measure the base radio frequencies of other devices by isolating the radio frequency of the power input. By providing a precise impedance to the power input of the EUT (equipment under test), the LISN gets repeatable measurements of the noise present at the LISN measurement port for the EUT. On top of isolating the unwanted RF (radio frequency) signals from the power source, LISN’s can be used to forecast conducted emission for diagnostic and pre-compliance testing. Functions of a Line Impedence Stabilization […]
