For conducted tests together with CDN’s, EM clamps or current injection clamps, it may be suggested to
load the simulator with a matched 50 ohm load. In case the above mentioned coupling device may not
represent such matched load, then it is recommended to add a 3dB attenuator in between.

4.2.1. Quickstart during instrument calibration
This function needs Firmware 2.11 or higher.
In case of a calibration of the measuring instrument it is necessary to use external signal generators. The CWS
instrument has frequency matched calibration curfes for each instrument channel. When using the internal
signal generator CWS 500 knows the actual frequency and select automatically the correct reference. When
using an external signal Generator, the instrument does not know the actual frequency. Therefore it is very
important to adjust the frequency in the display to the actual applied frequency. otherwise the displayed
measuring value can be wrong.

5. Starting Operation
5.1. Safety Aspects
Tests performed with RF-disturbances, induced by radio-frequency fields, are immunity tests on electronic
equipment. Therefore it is the responsibility of the user to avoid critical failures and risks to the environment and
the operators.
Long power supply lines to the EUT may radiate energy. It is the responsibility of the user to determine whether
it is allowed to conduct immunity tests in a given location.
The RF voltages on the center pin of the RF output connector can be hazardous. The RF output connector must
be connected to a load before AC power is applied to the CWS 500D. Do not touch the center pin of the RF
output connector or accessories which are connected to it. Switch the equipment to the “Test OFF” position
before disconnecting or connecting the load to the RF output connector.
During this test RF interference is generated at a power of 100W or more. Therefore, the test should be
performed in a shielded room to prevent interference with other equipment in the vicinity. Also see the
information included in the declaration of conformity for the CE mark.
For the test setup, national and international safety regulations must be observed.
Persons beings with pacemakers must not be allowed to perform such tests.
Special Information For Operating the CWS 500D :
1. The intake and outlet for the cooling system must not be covered. Free air circulation of is required for
proper function of the CWS 500D. Blockage of the cooling air system may result in damage to the RF
amplifier or intermittent shut down of the equipment.
2. All panels must be installed. They are important components of the cooling system. Never perform tests
with a partially or completely open generator.
3. Before a test or a calibration may be performed, the CWS 500D must be operating for at least 15 minutes
warm up time. After this time the CWS 500D output becomes stable
4. High voltage components will only be exposed when the 3 cover panels are removed (unscrewed). To
service the inside the generator, the power supply must be turned off and the power cord must be removed
before opening the equipment.
5. CDN’s are coupling/decoupling networks as specified in IEC 61000-4-6 . Due to this specification, higher
ground current exists as a result of increased value of the Y-capacitors. Therefore, the general use of fault
current protection relays is not possible. The use of isolating transformers for the power supply may be
required.
6. Some CDN’s are designed for higher and hazardous voltages. It is necessary to remove the power cord
from the input connection of the CDN’s before opening the housing.
7. Only trained and qualified service technicians are allowed to perform service and repair the instruments.
Please contact an EM TEST service center or your local sales partner for repairing or servicing the units.
8. The calibration of the test setup has to be done on the output of the CDN’s. To connect the 150-to-50Ω
matching resistor, special adapters are required (e.g. power supply connector to single pole plugs).
9. Make sure to read carefully and completely all the manuals.

User manual V 1.07 17 / 34
5.2. Generator Function Check
As with all testing equipment, the continuous wave simulator type CWS 500D should be checked for
performance and accuracy from time to time. The check should be completed as listed below.
- Connect the RF-output of the CWS 500D to the 3dB-attenuator or an adequate attenuator.
- Switch on the power supply.
- Select the in Quickstart with the following parameters:
voltage : 30dB
frequency : 23MHz
modulation : OFF, 2Hz, 400Hz or 1kHz
- Connect the output of the 3dB-attenuator with the 50Ωinput channel of the oscilloscope.
ATTENTION Take attention to the maximum input power capability and the bandwidth of the
test input.
- Push "TEST ON" and start the test.
ATTENTION DO NOT connect the output of the ATT3/100 nor the output of the CWS 500D
to the monitor input, otherwise the monitor input will be destroyed.
Using an oscilloscope or powermeter for checking the
operation of the generator very easy. Fig 5.1.
Take notice that this procedure is only a functional check of
the generator. Differences in the test level may be caused
by a limited bandwidth or mismatching within the testing
system.
Exact and accurate measurements can only be guaranteed
with the specified test setup according to standard. Fig 5.1

5.3. Function Check internal Powermeter
This function is for checking the built in 3-channel powermeter e.g. Forward Power and Rev Power and current
monitor. Within this measuring procedure the measured values are compared with some nominal values, this in
order to verify the correct function of the three measuring inputs. In addition also the accuracy of the measuring
is checked in a larger range. In order to avoid any damage, it may be self explaying that only a low voltage
signal may be released by the amplifier and occur at these inputs.
The MONITOR input is tested with the following signals:
- Measuring with a 50Ωterminal connection at the input.
- Measuring with the maximum attenuation ( -60dB ) to the RF output via a 3dB attenuator.
- Measuring with a reduced attenuation (-45dB ) to the RF output via a 3dB attenuator.
The function check has the following procedure:

Function check Powermeter step 1/ 2
- Press TEST ON
- Disconnect the HF OUT
- Connect a 50 Ohm matching resistor
to the MONITOR input

5.4. Function Check amplifier switch ( 1GHz model only)
This function is for checking the correct operation of the built in amplifier switch. During this test the output
connector at the frontside should be left open.
The function check has the following procedure:

5.5. Calibration
5.5.1. Calibration Setup for Bulk Current Injection Clamp (BCI) as per ISO / DO / MIL
Fig 5.5 : Calibration setup with BCI
ATTENTION
During calibration of the test setup on a ground reference plane at very low levels (very low
currents) is important. The test results may be influenced by the cable layout on the ground
plane. High grade coaxial cables are essential.
