Title :
Measurement Errors Caused by the Transient Limiter

Abstract :
The standard conducted emissions test may use a transient limiter between the LISN and the measuring instrumentation. This component is non-linear and can introduce significant errors in the measurement, sufficient to completely change the outcome of the test but which are transparent to the test engineer. The different mechanisms by which this may happen are described and modelled, and some mitigation techniques are recommended.
