Calibration methods for electrostatic discharge generators

This paper describes a calibration set-up for electrostatic discharge (ESD) generators used in electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) immunity tests. A coaxial shunt and a voltage divider are used for current and voltage measurements respectively. The presented measuring systems are traceable to the national standards.
