Rohde & Schwarz at EMV 2024: from standalone instruments & software to application-specific systems
At the EMV show 2024 in Cologne, Rohde & Schwarz showcases a comprehensive range of EMC test and measurement solutions – ranging from standalone instruments and software to application-specific systems. The company dedicates a large part of the booth to demonstrations that show EMI compliance testing, EMC test automation, EMS immunity test, EMI debugging and EMF. The Rohde & Schwarz solutions are on display from March 12 to 14, 2024 at the Cologne exhibition center, hall 11.1, booth 106.
Rohde & Schwarz provides outstanding EMC and field strength testing solutions, ranging from measurement devices to comprehensive testing systems. The company’s testing solutions fulfil all relevant commercial, medical, automotive, military, and aerospace regulations, as well as ETSI and FCC standards for radiated spurious emissions and audio interference measurements.
For both device developers and test houses the R&S EPL1000 EMI test receiver offers fast, accurate and full CISPR 16-1-1 compliant measurements up to 30 MHz at the best price in its class. In addition, The R&S EPL1000 now also features 4 channel click rate measurements in line with the latest CISPR 14-1:2020 version, mandatory for household appliances and electric power tools.
EMI compliance testing ensures devices operate without causing electromagnetic interference. The key component of an EMI system is the test receiver. The R&S ESW EMI test receiver can expand its FFT bandwidth to 970 MHz, enabling it to measure the CISPR frequency Bands C and D in a single operation. The wide bandwidth ensures sporadic interference is intercepted and enables the highest reliability and repeatability in commercial and MIL-STD testing. In addition, the measurement speed of the R&S ESW FFT bandwidth extension, enables new possibilities in EMI compliance testing, emission analysis and debugging.
EMC test automation is essential for achieving reliable and repeatable measurement results. The R&S ELEKTRA test software controls the entire EMC system, automating measurements of the equipment under test (EUT) for emissions (EMI) and immunity (EMS). ELEKTRA now supports measurements in reverberation chambers (RVC) and will be demonstrated at the R&S booth. The R&S AdVISE visual inspection software will also be showcased at the show. This software automates the visual monitoring of an EUT during a test sequence, eliminating human error, ensuring reproducible results, and simplifying test documentation.
Another highlight will be on advancements in EMS immunity testing, with a particular focus on broadband amplifiers and bulk current injection (BCI) systems. The R&S BBA300 family is a new generation of solid-state broadband amplifiers that offer improved robustness and availability in the frequency range from 380 MHz to 6 GHz. Attendees will also have the opportunity to explore a compact rack solution for BCI. This comprehensive solution including signal generator, broadband amplifier, power sensor, and software, providing a streamlined approach to EMS immunity testing.
Insightful demonstrations on EMI debugging will be shown by the Rohde & Schwarz oscilloscopes. One such demonstration will involve the oscilloscope R&S RTO6, which provides in-depth information on conducted emissions during device debugging. Also on display will be the new R&S MXO series of oscilloscopes, available in both 4 and 8 channel options. With the expended FFT processing power and advanced triggering options, the R&S MXO oscilloscopes are designed to expedite the EMI debugging process as well as DUT observation for EMS testing.
For EMF testing, Rohde & Schwarz showcases the R&S FPH handheld spectrum analyzer in combination with the R&S TS- EMF isotropic antenna up to 8 GHz: A solution to measure electromagnetic fields easily, covering the new radio services such as WiFi 6E and the complete 5G FR1 Frequency band up to 7.125 GHz. Higher frequencies up to 44 GHz can be measured with a handheld directional antenna such as the R&S HE800-PA. The EMF measurement option for the R&S FPH provides automated testing and a customizable report.
