CPL M | CPL AF2 | CPL T2 | CPL USB
Introduction
The international basic standard for conducted immunity testing (IEC 61000-4-6) species the design and
characteristics of a range of coupling / decoupling networks (CDN’s). To be able to perform conducted
immunity testing on an EUT (Equipment Under Test) with several types of connecting cables, dierent
CDN’s are needed.
Raditeq introduces a complete range of high quality, full compliant and easy-to-use CDN’s that enables
customers to perform full compliant, simple and reliable conducted immunity testing on any kind of EUT
cable.
RadiCentre® system
The RadiCentre® is a modular EMC/RF test system that serves as the user
and computer interface for all the RadiCentre® plug-in cards and modules.
RadiMation® Automated EMC/RF Test Software
RadiMation® is the EMC software package from Raditeq. RadiMation is
used for remote control and automated RF and EMC testing. In combination
with the RadiCentre® the software really shines brightest and enables the
user fully automated and eective EMC and RF testing. Plug-in cards and
modules are sold separately.
RadiField® Electric eld generator
The patented RadiField® Triple A is no less than a revolution in EMC
immunity testing. A complete paradigm shift involves a combination of high-
level integration and a eld combining technique, making several discrete
components like combiner, coupler, power meters and cabling superuous.
This product is sold separately.

Side views of the RadiCoupler®
Each RadiCoupler® has a device specic connector for the EUT and AE-port. This connector is located
at 30mm above the bottom plate of the CDN.
CPL CAL set
The optional RadiCoupler® CPL CAL SET consists of:
• 2x CAL adapter (100 Ohm)
• 1x 50 Ohm terminator
The CPL CAL set is required to calibrate the CDN in accordance to IEC61000-4-6. The set consists of 2x
mechanical CAL adapter (one for EUT side, one for AE side) to match the impedance from 50 Ohm to
150 Ohm. Each CAL adapter has an internal 100 Ohm resistor and matches the height of the CDN. The
CAL adapter can be connected to the CDN using the adapter connectors, which are standard delivered
with each RadiCoupler® CDN.

Calibration of RadiCoupler® CDN’s
Before the RadiCoupler® CDN can be used for immunity testing, the CDN needs to be calibrated in a
150 Ohm common mode impedance environment. This can be achieved by connecting the EUT side of
the RadiCoupler® CDN to the RF port of the RadiPower® model RPR2006C via one of the 100 Ohm CAL
adapters. This adapter ensures that the impedance is matched from 150 Ohm to 50 Ohm. Please ensure
that a 20dB @ 1w attenuator is used.
The USB port of the RadiPower® needs to be connected to the ‘current sensor’ USB input of the BCI1004A
plug-in card.
The other side (AE port) of the RadiCoupler® CDN will need to be connected to the other 100 Ohm CAL
adapter and needs to be closed with a 50 Ohm terminator.
The RF port of the second RadiPower® model RPR2006C will need to be connected to the ‘forward
power output port’ of the RadiAmp® RF amplier (on the back side).
The USB port of this RadiPower® needs to be connected to the ‘forward power’ USB input of the BCI1004A
plug-in card.
Mechanical xation
All RadiCoupler® CDN’s as well as the Cal adapters are provided with an integrated powerful magnet
for easy and quick xation to a metal ground plane. Please beware that while placing the CDN or Cal
adapter on any metal plate, the force can be quite large. The housings of the CDN’s and Cal adapters
are all conductive to provide good grounding to the ground plane of the test setup.
