Range features

A high level overview of what this range offers

EMScanner / EMScannerR

EMScanner is a self-contained very-near-field scanning device which connects to a spectrum analyser or a desk top PC running a copy of EMScanner software. The EMScanner system operates from 150 kHz to 8 GHz and delivers repeatable and reliable results that pinpoint the cause of a design failure in seconds.

EMScannerR enables the PCB and design engineers to diagnose EMC/EMI problems between 150 kHz and 8 GHz. EMScannerR provides 8 levels of resolution (60 microns – 7.5 mm). Level 1 resolution (7.5 mm) allows engineers to visualise the hot spots, current loops or intermittent problems in real-time. After locating the unintended radiators, engineers can zoom into the problem by selecting the resolution level based on the density of the board design.

RFScanner

The RFScanner is an Antenna Pattern Characterisation, Measurement and Diagnostic Tool on your Lab-bench. It is a compact bench-top scanner that characterizes antennas in your own lab environment in real-time. It measures the amplitude and phase of near-field magnetic emissions and uses these data provides far-field patterns, bisections, EIRP and TRP and other parameters in seconds and it gives insights into the root causes of antenna performance challenges and helps troubleshoot far-field radiation patterns in real-time.

  • Frequency range of 300 MHz to 6.0 GHz
  • Far-Field Patterns and Bisections including EIRP / TRP / PRD, Circular and linear polarization and axial ratio patterns
  • Near-Field Insights such as Amplitude and Phase distribution available in seconds
  • Gain, Efficiency and S11 chart with Supported VNAs
  • “Real-time” real-fast
  • Can be used to evaluate either standalone (i.e. passive) antennas or antennas that are embedded in wireless devices (i.e. active antennas).
  • Simple set up and easy to use

EMScanner+ / EMScannerR+

Carry out accurate high-resolution EMC & EMI testing directly from your lab bench. Our scanners include the EMScanner+ (High-frequency with Internal Spectrum Analyser) & EMScannerR+ (High-resolution with Internal Spectrum Analyser) and are invaluable tools for any product undergoing EMC pre-compliance testing.

  • Frequency range:
  • 150 kHz – 6 GHz
  • Scanning area:
  • L 31.6 cm x W 21.8 cm
  • Physical Resolution: EMScanner+ 7.5mm – EMScannerR+: 0.06mm
