This article is intended to provide a set of recommended practices for improving of the Time-Domain EMI measurement systems by means of digital signal processing. We have focused on two major aspects: the optimal configuration settings of the direct measurement equipment and the deployment of algorithms to process the measurement result. In that sense, we believe that general purpose time-domain instruments, as oscilloscopes, can be successfully used as an alternative hardware to measure EMI, since they provide accurate and reliable results, surpassing the conventional frequency-domain approach when transient disturbances are present.
