GAUSS INSTRUMENTS has introduced a novel real-time scanning feature for their TDEMI X test receiver series providing several gigahertz real-time bandwidth (Option QCDSP-UG, UFSPA-UG) and thus the final maximization can be performed at all frequencies simultaneously in just one step, thus saving lots of time during radiated emissions compliance testing.
Due to the newly designed powerful hardware module, such measurements over several gigahertzs can be performed in the real-time spectrum analyzer mode. E. g., in the frequency range from 1 GHz to 6 GHz all frequency points can be directly measured with a very high resolution in time and the result can be maximized instantaneously. The results over the whole frequency range are shown in real-time. The detectors peak, average and RMS are also available in this mode.
All the measurements are implemented according to the standards CISPR 16-1-1, MIL461, DO160.
Gauss claims that now for the first time, a typical emission measurement in the full frequency range of 1 GHz up to 6 GHz can be scanned in real-time.
