The new R&S® ESL EMI test receiver from Rohde & Schwarz has been crafted to meet the needs of cost-conscious users who want to perform precise pre-compliance and diagnostic measurements up to 3 GHz or 6 GHz. This compact instrument offers fully automated test sequences using the latest weighting detectors that conform to CISPR 16-1-1 specifications. Like all EMI test receivers from Rohde & Schwarz, the R&S® ESL EMI test receiver can also be used as a full-featured spectrum analyzer. This device enables manufacturers of components, modules, and devices to measure disturbance at the early stages of product development and to take appropriate action, thus saving time and money and speeding the certification process. The R&S® ESL EMI test receiver measures a DUT’s electromagnetic disturbance in accordance with currently applicable commercial standards such as CISPR, EN, or FCC. Using standard-compliant bandwidths and a selection of disturbance weighting detectors unique in this class (e.g. quasi-peak, CISPR average, RMS average), the test receiver consistently provides reliable results. Its ease of use and fully automated test sequences facilitate EMC measurements, which is a great help for users who do not perform EMC measurements on a regular basis. By performing a quick overview measurement, the R&S® ESL EMI test receiver first determines the critical unwanted frequencies. Its detectors then perform a second targeted and careful measurement of only these frequencies in order to weight the disturbance. This method saves valuable test time. The R&S® ESL EMI test receiver stores the measurement settings and results on its hard disk. Users can generate comprehensive reports by means of the R&S® ES SCAN EMI pre-compliance software.
