Richard
Marshall Limited has recently shipped a set of custom-made test jigs to a
well-known EMC test house just seven days after receiving the order.
The jigs were for testing the
common-mode immunity of balanced signal ports of professional audio equipment
according to EN55103-2. They comprised
a Test Interface as defined by figure B1 of the Standard together with the
necessary close-tolerance calibration jig.

The
principal obstacle to speedy delivery of these items was the procurement of
components. A 480pF variable capacitor
is not a common item these days!
Richard
Marshall is currently involved in the development of other test jigs for future
updates to Standards.
