Measurement Channel

Question

I want to use the R&S EMC32 measurement software to

generate a stress level for my EUT when performing

electromagnetic susceptibility measurements. Can you

tell me what a measurement channel is?

Answer

The objective of electromagnetic susceptibility measurements is to determine

whether the EUT is immune to electromagnetic interference signals and fields.

During an EMS measurement, both data from the leveling algorithm that

generates the stress level and EUT monitoring data is recorded.

The software handles each of the monitored parameters as a measurement

channel. One measurement value per channel and frequency

is stored in a separate column of the measurement result table.
