Coupling De-Coupling Networks Emission

CDNEs are a type of Coupling Decoupling Networks used for an alternative technique of measuring radiated emission of lighting equipment in accordance with the CISPR 15 (EN55015) standard.
It avoids the need for emission measurements on Open Area Test Sites. This method was established in CISPR 15 edition 9 as an acceptable alternative to a traditional OATS test configuration that required antennas and calibrated test sites. It is specified for the frequency range from 30 MHz to 300 MHz. The CDNE method and the associated limits up to 300 MHz can be only applied for EUTs with clock frequencies below or equal to 30 MHz. In such a case, the product is deemed to comply with the requirements between 300 MHz and 1000 MHz.
