MIL-STD-461G CS116 testing is applicable from 10 kHz to 100 MHz for all interconnecting cables and requires 6 damped oscillatory pulses to be injected via probe. The pulses are applied at ne less than one every two seconds and verified during calibration setup process. Required Frequencies:
MIL-STD-461 CS116 conducted susceptibility requires six damped sinusoidal pulses (10 kHz, 100 kHz, 1 MHz, 10 MHz, 30 MHz, and 100 MHz) and applies to all interconnecting cables, including power, and individual high side power leads form 10kHz to 100 MHz. It requires calibration setup for waveform verification ensuring that pulse/waveform generator meets testing requirements. It also puts forth that the repetition rate of the pulses "shall be no greater than one pulse per second and no less than one pulse every two seconds". Given the strict testing/setup requirements we offer rentals of complete test solutions, providing turnkey solutions with ISO 17025 accredited calibrations.
Calibration fixture: Coaxial transmission line with 50 ohm characteristic impedance, coaxial connections on both ends, and space for an injection probe around the center conductor
There are a variety of test solutions available for MIL-STD-461 CS116. These solutions can most easily be broken down by the pulse generators, test setup equipment, and calibration/verification devices. Given the importance of calibration in this standard, we full equipment setups associated with particular transient/pulse generators. This ensures that waveforms can be accurately verified and that compliance can been met. Given the overlap in both CS115 and CS116 testing, much of the equipment can be used for either. The most widely used test equipment for this standard is based around the Solar Electronics 9354-2 transient test generator. Below you will find a picture of this generator and the associated accessories.
