EMI test receiver promises reliable precompliance

Compact instrument is the only one in its price range to offer fully automated test sequences using the latest weighting detectors that conform to CISPR 16-1-1 specifications.

New from Rohde and Schwarz, the ESL EMI test receiver is designed to meet the needs of cost-conscious users who want to perform precise precompliance and diagnostic measurements up to 3 or 6GHz.

This compact instrument is the only one in its price range to offer fully automated test sequences using the latest weighting detectors that conform to CISPR 16-1-1 specifications.

Like all EMI test receivers from Rohde and Schwarz, the ESL can also be used as a full-featured spectrum analyser.

Users can thus receive the absolute most from their investment.

The R and S ESL measures a DUT's electromagnetic disturbance in accordance with currently applicable commercial standards such as CISPR, EN or FCC.

Using standards-compliant bandwidths and a selection of disturbance weighting detectors unique in this class (including quasi-peak, CISPR average and RMS average), the test receiver consistently provides reliable results.

Its ease of use and fully automated test sequences facilitate EMC measurements, which is a great help for users who do not perform EMC measurements on a regular basis.

By performing a quick overview measurement, the R and S ESL first determines the critical unwanted frequencies.

Its detectors then perform a second targeted and careful measurement of only these frequencies in order to weight the disturbance.

This method saves valuable test time.

The R and S ESL stores the measurement settings and results on its hard disk.

Users can generate comprehensive reports by means of the R and S ES Scan EMI precompliance software from Rohde and Schwarz.

As the R and S ESL is compact, lightweight and can be battery-operated, it is also an ideal mobile solution for network operators and government agencies that need to measure field strength on site or to locate sources of disturbance.

The R and S ESL test receiver is available now from Rohde and Schwarz.
