5µH LISN(Line Impedance Stabilization Network)

Open Source Hardware Dual 5µH DC LISN with 10dB Attenuator and Transient Limiter for Spectrum Analyzer EMC work.

A LISN is a Line Impedance Stabilization Network used in conducted emissions testing.

The AIM of this Dual LISN is to be used for EMC pre-testing with frequency range 30kHz(or lower) to 110MHz(or up to 150MHz or more).

This open source hardware LISN V1 R0 include following features:

  • Designed with fully open source tools like KiCad 5.99 Nightly

  • Improvement in this design:

    • Added simulation with LTSpice of the 10dB Attenuator / Transient Filter (with default 1N4148 and BAV99 see Simu dir)
    • Modified Supply & DUT "+ GND -" to be separated by 19.06mm for 4mm BANANA JACK for BNC adapter
    • Use BAV99 instead of 1N4148W Diodes (improve 10dB Attenuator and Transient Limiter to be flat up to >200MHz)
    • Replace Keystone 575-4 by Keystone 575-8 (as the 575-4 was too short)
    • Added more via for better thermal transfer/decoupling around capacitors ...
  • Dual LISN in one aluminum box(Hammond 1590B)

    • Maximum current: 5A
    • Nominal operating voltage range: 0V to 60V DC
    • Include 10dB Attenuator and Transient Limiter for each SMA connector to be connected to a Spectrum Analyzer
      • Max. 1W / 30dBm if 50°C Temperature raise is allowed
      • The Transient limiter is a 9kHz HP filter, which is also a dc block.

Questions

How big is the 5uH LISN PCB?

It measures 112.4 × 60.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the 5uH LISN use?

74 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the 5uH LISN KiCad files?

From the bvernoux/EMC_5uH_LISN repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is 5uH_LISN.kicad_pcb and its schematic 5uH_LISN.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the 5uH LISN design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
