R&S EPL1000 EMI test receiver provides rapid, precise, and dependable EMI compliance measurements up to 30 MHz at an unmatched price point, benefiting both device developers and conformance test houses. This instrument includes click rate measurements, aligning with the latest CISPR 14-1:2020 standard, which is essential for household appliances and electric power tools.
R&S is dedicated to creating a safer and more connected world through its divisions in Test & Measurement, Technology Systems, and Networks & Cybersecurity. With a history spanning 90 years, this global technology group continues to innovate and push the boundaries of cutting-edge technologies. Its advanced products and solutions empower industrial, regulatory, and government clients, enabling them to achieve technological and digital independence.
As a privately owned company based in Munich, R&S operates with long-term sustainability and independence. In the fiscal year 2022/2023 (July to June), the company achieved a net revenue of EUR 2.78 billion, employing approximately 13,800 people worldwide as of June 30, 2023. Household consumer devices need to comply with CISPR 14-1 standards, which include conducted tests up to 30 MHz for electromagnetic emissions.
The R&S EPL1000 EMI test receiver meets these requirements and follows CISPR test procedures for frequency bands A and B, all at an appealing price point. The new R&S EPL1-K59 Click Rate Analyzer option is designed to measure click rates in accordance with CISPR 14-1 and Japanese DENAN Law requirements. This is crucial for appliances like cookers, air conditioners, and washing machines, as their switching operations can cause disruptive emissions.
The R&S EPL1000 supports both sequential frequency scans and fast FFT-based time domain scans, allowing it to measure CISPR band A and B compliance simultaneously. In the latest CISPR 14-1 edition 7, click rates must be calculated separately for four frequencies in CISPR Band B. With the R&S EPL1-K59, the R&S EPL1000 can measure all four frequencies simultaneously, making evaluations four times faster than other EMI analyzers that measure each frequency sequentially.
The R&S EPL1000 serves well for both ensuring compliance with PASS/FAIL standards and for resolving issues during the development phase. When it comes to debugging and development, it can process hours of recorded data in mere seconds. Users have the ability to save and retrieve settings and data for later analysis, and they can export data for further processing. The device includes features like zoom and markers, which aid in examining individual data points and measuring time and level differences that go beyond standard analysis.
It meets all requirements of CISPR 16-1-1, as referenced by CISPR14-1, including the click rate analyzer function. Alongside the standard calibration documents for the base units, documentation of the click rate verification using CISPR 16-1-1 defined pulses are also available, as demanded by EMC test facilities. The new R&S EPL1-K59 Click Rate Analyzer option is now accessible from Rohde & Schwarz and will be showcased at EMV 2024 in Cologne from March 12 to 14, located in hall 11.1 booth 106.
