Implementation of IEC 61196-1 Shielded Screening Attenuation Test Method

ABSTRACT

The physical design and electrical characteristics of coaxial cable screening attenuation (shield effectiveness) test fixtures, which meet the guidelines of IEC 61196-11 , are presented. Two test fixtures are considered: one for large diameter cable (for example RG-6 type CATV cable) with an upper frequency limit greater than 2 GHz and another for smaller diameter cable with an upper frequency limit greater than 4 GHz. The test procedure is reviewed. Advantages and limitations are discussed. Screening attenuation performance results for a selection of coaxial cable are presented.
