This paper presents a comprehensive approach to the design of Resolution Bandwidth (RBW) filters specifically for Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) applications. We propose a mathematical modeling method that accurately captures the characteristics of standard RBW filters, which are essential for precise EMI noise measurements. The proposed approach utilizes paired complementary second-order filters with symmetrical cutoff frequencies to ensure compliance with CISPR-16 standards. The methodology underscores the importance of aligning theoretical models with real-world filter behavior, ensuring that the resulting models are both accurate and reliable. By establishing a robust framework for RBW filter design, the method enables optimized EMI system performance and the implementation of appropriate filtering solutions. Validation is carried out through simulations using a 150 kHz signal with a dynamically ramped amplitude increase, demonstrating high accuracy and strong performance under both transient and steady-state conditions. Despite the challenging test scenarios, the results confirm that the proposed filter model remains accurate and effective even under worst-case EMI conditions.
