FIGURE 1
Any switched-mode power supply (SMPS) consists of a bridge circuit, capacitor, and PWM IC, which switches the current through the inductor (a). This SMPS (b) includes the impedance of a line-impedance-stabilization network (LISN). The actual LISN sits between the mains and the power supply (c) to isolate the device under test from incoming perturbations and to route the noise components to the spectrum analyzer. You can use the final model (d) to test the power supply and the effectiveness of your filter design.
