- Rohde & Schwarz announces the R&S EPL1001 and R&S EPL1007 series EMI test receivers, which join the EPL family that began in 2023 with the launch of the R&S EPL1000 model.
- These two new models, which will be available to order from the second quarter of 2025, will be presented at the EMV trade show in Stuttgart from March 25 to 27, 2025.
- The new R&S EPL1001 and R&S EPL1007 electromagnetic interference (EMI) test receivers cover frequency bands up to 1 GHz and 7.125 GHz respectively.
The new test receivers are designed to meet a broad range of EMC measurement requirements, with a focus on flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and precision. Engineers can start with a basic model that fits their current needs and budget. As requirements grow, the devices can be upgraded with advanced features.
The basic versions of the test receivers include EMI bandwidth (CISPR 16-1-1, DO-160 and MIL-STD-461) and detectors (CISPR 16-1-1), RF input protection and automatic adaptable attenuation in 1 dB steps to handle strong signals. Optional preselection improves the measurement of broadband signals and short pulses. The preamplifier included in the preselection option enables the measurement of small signals. Adding option EPL1-B1611 results in full CISPR 16-1-1 compliant EMI test receivers allowing the certification of the equipment under test.
Time Domain Scan (TDS) makes it possible to capture entire CISPR bands A or B in a single shot and to measure above CISPR band B in 20 MHz steps using CISPR band associated resolution bandwidths. This saves valuable test time and enhances intermittent emission detection. In-depth analysis is provided by functions such as spectrogram, zero span and bar graph display. Additional upgrade options include real-time spectrogram, IF analysis and 4-channel click rate analysis.
Battery and DC power operation allow testing in various environments without being tied to a power outlet. The test receivers offer functions beyond EMI measurements, such as an integrated spectrum analyzer and an optional signal generator including tracking generator function.
