1 Introduction
CDNEs are a type of Coupling Decoupling Networks used for an alternative technique of measuring radiated
emission of lighting equipment in accordance with the CISPR 15 (EN55015) standard.
It avoids the need for emission measurements on Open Area Test Sites. This method was established in
CISPR 15 edition 9 as an acceptable alternative to a traditional OATS test configuration that required antennas
and calibrated test sites. It is specified for the frequency range from 30 MHz to 300 MHz. The CDNE method
and the associated limits up to 300 MHz can be only applied for EUTs with clock frequencies below or equal
to 30 MHz. In such a case, the product is deemed to comply with the requirements between 300 MHz and
1000 MHz.
When compared to CDNs, CDNEs are substantially more stringently specified, with reduced common mode (CM)
impedance tolerance and additional parameters for CM phase tolerance and differential mode impedance equal
to 100 Ω. A minimum 20 dB for longitudinal conversion loss shall prevent symmetrical voltage influencing
measurement results.
CISPR 15 edition 9 also specifies that the mains supply cable of the EUT should be terminated with a CDNE
positioned on the reference-ground plane for the OATS, SAC or FAR measurement method.
Unlike CDNs, CDNEs are not appropriate for immunity measurements
The Tekbox TBCDNE-M2 is designed for EUTs that do not have a PE (Earth) connection. Tekbox offers the
TBCDN-M3 model for measuring EUTs with PE, Neutral, and Line connections.

10 Measurement Setups
When the CDNE method is used and all clock frequencies of the EUT are below or equal to
30 MHz, then the product is deemed to comply with the requirements between 300 MHz and
1 000 MHz if the emissions comply with the limits in the 30 MHz to 300 MHz frequency range
as specified in CISPR 15 (IEC / EN 55015). If the CDNE test fails, then any of the other methods and
corresponding limits specified in CISPR 15 can still be applied
For the CDNE method, the largest dimensions of the EUT are 3 m x 1 m x 1 m (l x w x h). The CDNE
restrictions apply to the EUT only, and not the wiring or the total dimension of the system under test.
When using the CDNE method to show compliance to 1 GHz, the test report shall include a statement (from
the manufacturer) that the clock frequency is below 30 MHz.
