RF Current Monitoring Probes

The voltage produced by RF current monitoring probes into a 50-ohm load is proportional to the current flowing through the wires going through the probe aperture. RF current monitoring probes, like LISNs, are used to measure conducted emissions. RF current probes measure the current of conducted emissions, whereas LISNs measure the voltage. Current monitoring probes are not intrusive. It is not necessary to separate the wire harness under test. In addition, RF current monitoring probes typically cover a wider frequency range than LISNs.
