CDG 7000 Conducted Immunity, 10 kHz

The CDG 7000 is a new test generator for all standards on immunity to conducted disturbances induced by high-frequency fields - including BCI tests (ISO 11452-4).One of the very few combined IEC 61000-4-6 test systems that contain the RF signal generator, an RF power amplifier, a 3-channel RF voltmeter, and a directional coupler at a very affordable price. The CDG 7000 generates interference in accordance with IEC / EN 61000-4-6 - immunity to conducted interference that is induced by high-frequency fields. 

The standard describes a test setup in which this high-frequency interference can be influenced on a test item without a complicated setup with antennas, field instrumentation, and shielded rooms. The use of coupling networks and coupling tongs induces sine waves directly in power and signal lines. The device under test retains its original position in the device structure so that the overall function of the system can be tested.

CDG 7000-75-10 Conducted Immunity 10 kHz - 250 MHz

The CDG 7000 is a new test generator for all standards on immunity to conducted disturbances induced by high-frequency fields - including BCI tests (ISO 11452-4). One of the very few combined IEC 61000-4-6 test systems that contain the RF signal generator, an RF power amplifier, a 3-channel RF voltmeter, and a directional coupler at a very affordable price. IEC 60601-1-2 calling out IEC 61000-4-39 magnetic immunity for close proximity testing requirements can also now be met with the 10 kHz unit.

The IEC 60601-1-2 standard is the international standard for testing medical equipment to EMC. The latest update adds a new test as more transmitter products are present in homes, offices (locations where medical equipment may be used), and hospitals. Three frequencies that are in use are: 30 kHz, 134.2 kHz, and 13.56 MHz. The standard IEC 61000-4-39 for testing fields in close proximity is referenced for this testing. With our IEC 60601-1-2 setup these test fields can be produced.

The magnetic loops are specified in IEC 61000-4-39 and are readily available. However, producing a field through the loops might not be straightforward. The loop impedance changes over its frequency range and the amplifier being used will not match this impedance. The result would be a much higher power requirement. In this case, we are not covering a frequency range but individual frequency points. This allows a matching network to be created to match the loop to the amplifier's impedance.

Basic Setup

Schlöder has created a system to match this requirement. The system is computer-controlled to set the field level and perform testing with report generation.

In combination with the CDG 7000-75-10 (PA) and a complete set for the corresponding frequency range, international standards (IEC 60601-1-2 ED. 4.1 / IEC 61000-4-39) for testing medical devices for electromagnetic compatibility can be carried out. These complete sets include a radiating loop, a loop sensor, the matching network for the impedance, and a corresponding stand for the loops.

EN 61000-4-39 describes magnetic field tests in the near field in two frequency ranges from 9 kHz - 150 kHz and from 150 kHz - 26 MHz. For both ranges, complete sets are offered for operation on a typical RF broadband amplifier. (Take the required sets for your tests from the “Equipment or complete sets..” compilation).

Frequency range 9 kHz – 150 kHz

Frequency range 150 kHz – 26 MHz 

IEC 61000-4-39

IEC 61000-4-39

RL 120 transmitting coil with LS 040 loop sensor (electrostatic shielded) from MIL-STD-461:

  • Field strengths 1 ... 30 A/m

  • Modulation AM 80% 1 kHz sine

  • Illumination area 100 x 100 mm

  • Distance 50 ±3 mm

  • Test frame with coil mounting holes on 150, 250, 350, 450 mm.

  • Matching network with 2x10 Ω series resistors for matching to RF amplifiers at low frequencies

  • Power consumption < 46 dBm (just under 40 W) at 150 kHz and 30 A/m incl. modulation

For the upper-frequency range, the 61000-4-39 defines a new 100 mm transmitting coil with 3 turns. The generated field is measured with a loop sensor, also newly defined, with a diameter of 40 mm and only 1 turn. In the standard, only the loop sensor is electrostatically shielded. To prevent the radiation of an electric field at higher frequencies, the RL 100-3 is also electrostatically shielded and symmetrically controlled via a balun:

  • Field strengths 0.1 ... 3 A/m: A preamplifier (PA) is required to measure this low field strength!

  • Pulse modulation with 50% duty cycle and 2 Hz or 1 kHz modulation frequency§ Illumination area 80 x 80 mm

  • Test frame with coil mounting holes on 120, 200, 280, 360, 440 mm

  • Matching network with balun for balanced drive and 2 x 10 Ω series resistors for matching to RF amplifiers at low frequencies

  • Power consumption < 44 dBm (appr. 25 W) at 26 MHz and 3 A/m

IEC 60601-1-2

IEC 60601-1-2

In 60601-1-2, magnetic field tests are required with RL 120, but only at two defined frequencies with modified levels and modula¬tions:

  • 30 kHz with 8 A/m continuous wave

  • 134.2 kHz with 65 A/m, 2.1 kHz pulse-modulated

The required power here is max. 46.3 dBm (approx. 43 W). To reduce the power to approx. 43.1 dBm (approx. 20 W), an optional resonant capacitor can be connected in series.

In 60601-1-2, magnetic field tests are required with RL 100, but only at 13.56 MHz. Level and modulation have also been changed here.

  • 13.56 MHz with 7.5 A/m, 100 kHz pulse modulation

Without resonant network, more than 49.3 dBm (approx. 85 W) is required. With resonant network, the power requirement is reduced to about 35 dBm (approx. 3.2 W). Thus, 30 A/m can be achieved for a short time with about 50 W amplifier power. VSWR is < 1:2 in resonance.

For IEC 60601-1-2, approxi-mately 46.3 dBm is required for 65 A/m at 134.2 kHz with the same setup. This can be realized with the 75W-10 kHz amplifier. With a resonance capacitor in series with the matching network, this required power can be halved to 43.1 dBm.

The following complete sets of equipment is required for the tests:
