Swift and reliable measurement of electromagnetic emissions and immunity

The R&S®ELEKTRA test software controls complete EMC systems and automates measurements of equipment under test (EUT) being certified for emissions (EMI) and immunity (EMS). R&S®ELEKTRA simplifies configuration of test systems and test descriptions in accordance with common standards. It speeds up test execution and paves the way to quickly generating a comprehensive test report.

Key facts

• Intuitive design for interactive and automatic EMC measurements
• Covers most common EMC standards with predefined templates
• Create EUT-specific test plans and reports
• Efficient result analysis and reporting
• Simplified dedicated version for precompliance emission measurements (ELEMI-E)

The R&S®EPL1000 fully complies with CISPR16-1-1. The very fast time domain scan can check the complete CISPR bands A or B in a single shot. Built-in preselection ensures a high dynamic range and enables the acquisition of short pulses. The R&S®EPL1000 offers 4-channel click rate analysis, a real-time spectrogram function, IF analysis and further functions for detailed analysis. Automation simplifies measurements and ensures exact reproducibility of test sequences. These and many more functions make the R&S®EPL1000 ideal for conducted voltage and current measurements. Typical applications include precompliance measurements, precertification and certification in line with IEC, EN, CISPR and FCC.

Key facts

• Preselection filters
• Time domain scan
• Tracking generator
• Battery operation
• Pulse protected input

The indispensable core component of every EMC test strategy

EMI test receivers; extremely accurate instruments designed to detect electromagnetic emissions rigorously, to ensure all emissions conform to the Standard being tested to. Configured to set up running the required tests for parameters defined by the Standards as simply as possible, including automated test routines. R&S EMI test receivers can be much more too, with a full signal and spectrum analyzer in the same instrument.

R&S EMI test receivers support the full range of commercial, automotive and military EMI Standards from all leading Standard authorities, including IEC, CISPR, CENELEC, ETSI, FCC, ANSI, RTCA and MIL-STD. All the latest amendments including the fast FFT-based time-domain scan that makes testing many times faster than conventional frequency scans, are all supported. The instruments cover all required frequency ranges up to 44 GHz, with frequencies up to 500 GHz supported by external mixers.

R&S supplies both full compliance and precompliance EMI test receivers. Fully compliant receivers implement all requirements of the above mentioned Standards, needed for certification testing. Precompliance receivers are an ideal cost/benefit solution for EMI testing during development. They implement bandwidths, limits and detectors defined by the standards, but do not entirely meet the exacting demands of full compliance.
