Hello I am new here,
I want to build dc dc converters and play with canbus communication I want to see if i meet the EMC rules. For this reason I want to see if i can buy some equipment. I saw a HP8594, HP 8558b and a Tektronix 492. Did read that the Rigol 815 was a good option but that is a lot of $$$. Dont know where to look for in the specs except for frequencies.
years ago I did some EMC testing, it was some ferrite coil connected to a spectrum analyzer think I also need such a thing. At that time 1.5 gig was more than sufficient but maybe the frequencies you have to test have gone up?
Can someone point me in the right direction? Tell me what I could use? Maybe the 21 GHz of the tek is too high and makes it too expensive, maybe the HP8558 is too old and will break down easy? Can someone please give me a start on this subject?
I see a lot of scopes with 0V DC on the input, will it break down if there is a small dc? Can you protect the analyzer from this situation with standard parts?
Hope you guys can help!
