Line Impedance Stabilization Network

Line Impedance Stabilization Network

LISN (line impedance stabilization network) is a device used in conducted and radiated radio-frequency emission and susceptibility tests, as specified in various EMC/EMI test standards (e.g. by CISPR, IEC, CENELEC, FCC, MIL-STD, etc).

A LISN is a low-pass filter typically placed between ac or dc power source and EUT (Equipment Under Test) to create a known impedance and to provide an RF noise measurement port. It also isolates the unwanted RF signals from the power source. In addition, LISNs can be used to predict conducted emission for diagnostic and pre-compliance testing.

Famous quotes containing the words line and/or network:

    The real dividing line between early childhood and middle childhood is not between the fifth year and the sixth year—it is more nearly when children are about seven or eight, moving on toward nine. Building the barrier at six has no psychological basis. It has come about only from the historic-economic-political fact that the age of six is when we provide schools for all.
    James L. Hymes, Jr. (20th century)

    Parents need all the help they can get. The strongest as well as the most fragile family requires a vital network of social supports.
    Bernice Weissbourd (20th century)
