Understanding electrosurgical unit perturbations in order to address hospital operating room electromagnetic compatibility

We analyze the radiated emissions from a low power electrosurgical unit(ESU). Measurements at a 3-meter distance are performed in order to find a suitable measurement setup intended to reproduce realistically the real working ESU behavior in a test lab. The broad-band and narrow-band characteristics...

Description
Summary:We analyze the radiated emissions from a low power electrosurgical unit(ESU). Measurements at a 3-meter distance are performed in order to find a suitable measurement setup intended to reproduce realistically the real working ESU behavior in a test lab. The broad-band and narrow-band characteristics of the perturbation are studied in order to address the other equipment immunity.
