Laplace Instruments Products: Radiated

The core of any radiated emission test system is the analyser. Laplace offers a 1GHz and a 3GHz analyser specifically designed for EMC measurements. The analyser must be used in conjunction with either an antenna or test cell which can 'receive' the emissions from the EUT and convert them into a signal which is then input into the analyser. A feature of this type of analyser is the ability to convert this signal into meaningful results by using the calibration data for the antenna or cell to convert the values in dBuV/m for direct comparison with the limits.

For testing in open sites, the RF200 and RF230 antennas are ideal. If testing in confined spaces, for example, in a test chamber, the miniature CTS011 antenna offers a particularly compact solution.

A problem with open test sites in general is the calibration (or lack of) of the site. By using a reference source, this problem is solved and measurements will have considerably better accuracy. This means that this system can be used for compliance testing as part of a self-test, self certification strategy.

An alternative is to use a test cell. Laplace offer the Lc300/2 and Lc600 compact EMC test cells. These avoid the issues of ambient noise and test site calibration.

For luminaires which are tested to EN55015 there are two specific tests:
- for frequencies below 30MHz, the RF300 large loop antenna (Van Leen Loop) is required.
- for frequencies between 30MHz and 230MHz a CDN technique can be used.
