Measurement Method (3kHz~30MHz) – Artificial Mains Network
B.1 Overview
In order to measure the terminal voltage generated by the signal transmission
equipment, a V-shaped artificial mains network is required to provide a specified
impedance to the terminal of the device under test within the radio frequency range;
and an additional inductor is required to isolate the test circuit from the useless radio
frequency signal on the power supply.
This Appendix gives the relevant information of the artificial mains network, all other
requirements are given in GB/T 6113.102-2008.

The impedance of the 0.47μF capacitor C3 (see Figure 3) is not negligible. Unless
otherwise specified, the reading of the measuring device needs to be corrected due to
the voltage dividing caused by this impedance.
