AN 376-1 Biasing 3-Terminal Devices for Test
Measuring the operating characteristics of a
wide variety of three-terminal devices can be
accomplished with a single test configuration.
This reduction in set-up time is especially valuable
in environments where many different types of
components need to be evaluated, such as failure
analysis labs, R & D, and incoming inspection.

AN 1273 Compliance Testing to the IEC 3000-3-2 (EN 61000-3-2)
and IEC 1000-3-3 (EN 61000-3-3) standards
Regulatory standards for ac line phenomena are
critical to maintaining the quality of ac power
distribution systems. This application note provides
an introduction to these standards as well as an
insight into their scope and intent.

AN 1293 Sequential Shunt Regulation
This sequential shunt regulation is widely used
for regulating the satellite bus voltage, powered
by solar arrays. The E4350B/E4351B solar array
simulators (SAS) are ideal for this type of
application.

AN 1310 Considerations when selecting a system power
supply for mobile communication device testing
Pulsed battery drain currents, regulated charge
currents, and remote DUT (Device Under Test)
fixtures, dictate the need for specialized power
sourcing, loading, and measurement capabilities
for testing mobile communications devices. Many
of these capabilities are not available in general-
purpose system power supplies.
This guide will assist the test system designer in
selecting a system power supply by properly
evaluating test system and power supply needs
that are unique to the application and not
immediately obvious

AN 1319 Compliance Testing to the IEC/EN 61000-4-8
Electronic equipment can encounter magnetic
fields at power line frequencies in a variety of
places. As such, it is wise to ensure that the
equipment will operate reliably when exposed to
these power line frequency magnetic fields.
The IEC/EN 61000-4-8 standard describes how
equipment should be tested for immunity to
power line frequency magnetic fields. This
application note provides a discussion of the
standard, including interpretation of the require-
ments and suggestions for equipment selection.

Product Note
Testing Uninterruptible Power Supplies using
Agilent 6800 Series ac power source/analyzers
Agilent ac sources can be used to help test
uninterruptible power supplies in many different
environments, including research and develop-
ment, manufacturing, and incoming inspection.
Ensuring that the UPS is designed and operating
properly is essential to guarantee that the UPS
will satisfactorily protect sensitive equipment
against ac mains voltage abnormalities.

Product Note
Zero Volt Electronic Load
Increasing demand for lower voltage power
supplies is pressuring test system designers to
identify electronic load test equipment designed
to adequately perform at these lower voltages.
Read how to configure Agilent DC Electronic
Loads, with option J04, to perform accurate
dynamic loading completely down to zero volts.
