German Metrology Institute Cites EMI Impact on Measurement Systems
The German Metrology Institute, or Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB), has posted an article detailing the impact of electromagnetic interference on modern measurement systems. This article also includes an announcement of a portable device that it has developed to solve this problem. The gist of this article includes two well known facts. First, we no longer rely on … [Read more...]
Antenna Suite Targets HIRF Testing Applications
A suite of three high-gain, high-power microwave horn antennas from AR RF Microwave are intended for use in DO 160 HIRF (high intensity radiated frequency) testing. These antennas provide even more options for varying test conditions. The AT4444 provides 2 to 4 GHz/ 1000 watts CW / 17-kw pulse input power while the AT4446 provides 4 to 6 GH / 800 watts CW /15-kW pulse power. … [Read more...]
Antenna Mast Crafted for EMI/EMC Testing
The AM-400 from Com-Power Corporation is an antenna mast well suited to making EMC measurements in an OATS (open air test site) or in test chambers. The height of the antenna can be varied from one to four meters during measurement as required by commercial EMC specifications. The mast is constructed using fiberglass tubes and grating material. These were chosen because they … [Read more...]
