PMM has introduced a CISPR 16-1-1 compliant EMI receiver for conducted or radiated emission test measurements from 9kHz to 3GHz.

“Its use of gapless FFT technology allows rapid troubleshooting since a fully compliant scan can take as little as two seconds in frequency band B [250 – 500MHz] and only one minute in bands C and D [500MHz to 2GHz], according to UK distributor MDL, which is stocking the instrument.

The family is called ER8000, and offers combined EMI reception and spectrum analysis, and is intended to be used by product design departments, EMC compliance testing laboratories and, through its small size, for in situ testing.

The other member (opt 00) of the family has a narrower frequency range, topping out at 30MHz. The fast one above is opt 01 – “Users can upgrade from version opt 00 to version opt 01 at any time,” said MDL.

As well as CISPR 16-1-1, the unit is compliant with MIL-STD-461, ANSI C63.2 and FCC standards.

Included are a built-in 16A LISN (line impedance stabilisation network) and a user port for connecting devices such as external LISNs and switching boxes.

PMM’s ‘Emission Suite’ software is included free-of-charge.
