The ESA1 is a system of EMC tools for measuring the interference of assemblies and devices. The CS-ESA software allows the developer to quickly and comprehensively suppress interference affecting the DUT. Interference measurements taken during the development stage with ESA1 are proportional to the results from far-field measurements or from measurements with artificial networks. With the ESA1 tools disturbance sources can be localized, effects can be detected, and EMC measures individually determined. The effects of improvements implemented by ESA1 are proportional to the results from far-field measurements. ESA1 is designed for use at the developer’s working place.

The mini burst field generators are particularly small. They are used to identify and eliminate weak points in electronic assemblies in the development phase. They generate a burst or an ESD field at their tip. The mini burst generators are guided by hand across the equipment under test (e.g. printed circuit board) with their field-emitting tips close to its surface. The weak points respond to the pulsed field and malfunctions will occur. The burst field generators can be applied to selected individual sections of the circuit board design to identify potential weak points (faults in the ground system, individual traces or IC pins). Separate magnetic (P11 and P12) and electric (P21) coupling allows an optimal adaptation of EMC countermeasures to the respective weak point.

The E1 is a set of EMC tools used for EMI suppression in printed circuit boards during the development phase. The developer can use the E1 set to quickly identify the causes of burst and ESD interference. This allows the developer to design suitable measures to solve the causes of the interference. It can also be used to test the effectiveness of the measures taken. The E1 test set-up is small and fits easily on a developer’s desk. The E1 set user manual describes EMC mechanisms and provides detailed descriptions of basic measuring strategies for interference suppression in printed circuit boards. The E1 set includes a generator to generate burst and ESD disturbances.

The FLS 106 PCB Langer scanner is a 3-axes positioning system used in conjunction with near-field probes in order to measure magnetic or E-fields up to 20 GHz and to pulse the device under test via H-field sources with pulse fields up to 200 mT.
The near-field probes or field sources can be moved along all three axes above the assembly.
A digital microscope camera allows for optical positioning control above the object being measured.
The included collision protection system stops the vertical movement of the probe if it touches the device under test.

The use of the scanner with near-field probes from the SX, RF, XF or LF family allows measurements in the frequency range from 100 kHz up to 20 GHz.
The FLS 106 PCB scanner is controlled by the ChipScan-Scanner software via a PC. The software simultaneously allows measured values reading from the spectrum analyzer, graphic representation (2D or 3D), the storage and output of measured data (CSV data file). The FLS 106 PCB scanner can be upgraded to a 4-axes positioning system via a rotary unit.
