Converting dBuV and so on.

Oct 13, 2017 3 Replies

Today's work is to test my unit to DO-160 conducted EMI standard. I have not used spectrum analyzer for a few years, so a little rusty. If you can comment then I can proceed with the warm and fuzzy feeling, or adjust my thinking.



The current probe I am using has the proper bandwidth and has a conversion of 1:1. That is one amp input has one volt output.



The standard is in dBuA so that I BELIEVE the conversion is done. If spectrum analyzer is set to dBuV then it is actually telling me the dBuA.



Agree?



Below is a good link, but probably not useful for my problem.

thank you.


One rub: is it 1V/A when terminated into the 50 ohm spec? If so, then you got it.
