RSIL: Line Impedance Stabilizing Network

Device used to provide a standardized and reproducible impedance (usually 50 Ω) between the equipment under test (EUT – ) and the power supply network during testing.

BCI: Bulk Current Injection

Standard test method consisting of injecting disturbances in line mode on the cabling connecting equipment to its load bank.

Surface Mounted Component (SMC): Surface Mounted Component

This type of component is placed directly on the surface of a printed circuit board, unlike through-hole components, whose pins are inserted through the board. The components are then soldered to create both an electrical connection with the printed circuit board pads and a mechanical fastening.
