Application Notes
On the lab bench, a typical power supply is often viewed as “a battery with a knob” that provides power to a system or subsystem under development. However, fully exploring, assessing and troubleshooting the behavior of the assemblies used in a satellite or defense system will benefit from a more advanced instrument that can emulate a variety of potential electrical disturbances.
The Keysight Technologies, Inc. N6705 DC power analyzer can simulate a wide variety of transients and noise that may be produced by engine startup, power source switchover, load changes, lighting strikes, electronic warfare (EW) impulses, solar flares, and high energy particles. These transients are typically of interest for power supply lines in an aircraft, a ship, a ground vehicle, or satellite. Examples of unwanted noise include AC line ripple (e.g., 400 Hz) and spurious coupling from electromechanical devices.
This application note describes the potential problems, outlines the potential shortcomings of typical solutions, sketches a proposed solution, and presents example results.
