Laplace Coupler/Decoupler Network
Laplace supply a wide range of CDNs that are fully compliant to IEC61000-4-6.
In addition to a range of 'conventional' CDNs, Laplace are unique in offering two other types. Both types are 'versatile' in that they are configurable, offering great flexibility in terms of the type of cable each model can be used with. This reduces the number of CDNs necessary to hold in stock. The final type is, in addition to being versatile, fitted with an output which monitors the RF level applied to the cable.
The three types are: Standard, Versatile, Enhanced
Standard
These are grouped into three classes: Mains power cables, Unscreened cables, Screened cables
Versatile and Enhanced
These types are multi-functional. This versatility means that the need to carry a large range of different types of CDN to cope with potential requirements is avoided. One type of calibration adaptors fits all models.
Each model can be configured to cover a wide variety of cables, and still maintain full compliance with IEC61000-4-6.
The Enhanced models can be used in conjunction with a suitable signal generator such that closed loop level control can be achieved. This offers the advantages of greater efficiency, reduced RF power requirement and better accuracy for the applied RF level.
*Note that the RFIC-4-6 synthesizer system from Laplace offers the capability to work with the enhanced CDNs (as well as standard and versatile types). Other synthesizers will not work in the 'enhanced' mode.
