How do you know that the test results fromyour EMC measurement systems are correct?How can you be sure that test facilities ondifferent sites are yielding the same results?Can you carry out regular verification checks oneach of your test systems to ensure that yourlaboratory complies with ISO17025? Imaginethat one of your products is failing radiatedemissions tests and you need to be able tomeasure the effectiveness of the EM shielding orthat you’ve designed a filter and need to checkits characteristics accurately.

In all of these cases investigation will require theuse of a known, stable signal to inject into thesystem to carry out measurements. A YorkEMC Services broadband reference signalsource will allow you to start your work from thepoint of knowing that the noise or signal sourceis defined and stable.

Reference Noise and Signal Sources■ Frequencies up to 40GHz with both

conducting and radiating output versionsallow a wide range of uses.

■ Highly stable outputs over time andtemperature providing a known, good outputwith which to characterise the performanceof systems.

■ Continuous noise reference signal sources –CNE range. 9kHz – 7GHz. Continuous,broadband output across the operatingfrequency enables a more completeevaluation of the system being analysed withno gaps in the spectrum.

■ Harmonic comb spectrum reference signal

sources – CGE range. 50MHz – 40GHz.More appropriate for higher frequencieswhere the energy is concentrated in discreteharmonics of the step size.

■ Physically small and battery powered unitsfacilitate use in a wide range of situations.

■ Use to characterise EMC test andmeasurement systems, measurementenvironments, screened rooms, anechoicchambers, open area test sites, filters,cables, connectors, amplifiers, receivers,spectrum analysers, or the shieldingeffectiveness of enclosures and materials.

■ The CNE III is an industry standard used asthe reference source for several inter-sitecomparison studies between measurementenvironments in national and internationalstudies in the UK, the USA and Europe.

Harmonics and Flicker Test EquipmentChecks■ The HFG01 is a reference test load

developed to allow periodic verification orcomparisons of test equipment used tomeasure harmonics and flicker underIEC/EN61000-3-2 and IEC/EN61000-3-3.

Emissions Measurement Antenna■ The ARA01 is a physically compact, low

cost, active receive antenna allowingmeasurements in confined spaces or remotelocations.

■ Performance comparable to the ‘Bilog’ andother wideband antennas operating between30MHz and 1GHz.
