Second Harmonic Distortion (SHD)
Second Harmonic Distortion (SHD)
Test Limits
Overview
This test checks the second harmonic distortion of the EMI receiver by tuning
to twice the input frequency and examining the level of the distortion product.
A low pass filter is inserted between the source and the receiver to prevent the
source second harmonic from artificially raising the second harmonic product
displayed on the receiver.
This measurement is performed on RF Input 1 only.
