Test Receiver Cuts EMC Certification Time And Costs August 19, 2008
For cost-conscious users needing to perform EMC pre-compliance and diagnostic measurements up to 3 GHz or 6 GHz, the ESL test receiver is reportedly the only such instrument in its price range to offer fully-automated test sequences using the latest weighting detectors that conform to CISPR 16-1-1 specs. The instrument also performs as a spectrum analyzer and measures disturbances in the early stages of product development, saving time and costs during the certification process. It measures electromagnetic disturbances in accordance with current commercial standards such as CISPR, EN, or FCC and employs standard-compliant bandwidths and a selection of disturbance weighting detectors unique in this class such as quasi-peak, CISPR average, and RMS average. The instrument stores measurement settings and results on its hard-disk drive and generates comprehensive reports via ES SCAN EMI pre-compliance software. ROHDE & SCHWARZ INC., Columbia, MD.
