EMC conducted and radiated measurements to 6GHz
Pre-compliance EMC testing shouldn’t mean booking weeks out at an external lab. The DR6000 brings full conducted and radiated emissions measurement for the 9kHz to 6GHz range in-house, in a single compact unit. FFT-based signal processing means faster scans, faster design iteration, and faster routes to compliance.
When used with the RF9xx range of pre-selectors, accurate measurements are obtained even with broadband conducted emissions.
Entirely controlled from an intuitive Windows software package, the analyser can enable a self-test and self-certification strategy to be adopted with confidence.
The PC software allows results to be printed or saved and used in other applications for reporting purposes. A full range of compatible accessories is available, including compact test cells and antennas, all fully calibrated to 6GHz.
I’m interested – let me know more:
- FFT dramatically reduces measurement time and provides rapid design iteration during pre‑compliance testing
- 9kHz—6GHz range to cover EN, FCC and international standards.
- Powerful PC software control and automation included.
- USB 3.0 interface for very simple operation.
- Windows 11 compatible (16GB RAM minimum.)
- Compact and simple to use whilst including all the necessary features for self-testing your own products.
- Made in Britain.
COMPREHENSIVE
The DR6000 covers both conducted and radiated emissions testing from 9kHz to 6GHz. Measurements use CISPR bandwidths for Bands A, B, C/D and E; a single instrument meeting EN, FCC and international standards requirements.
POWERFUL
This analyser and the associated software includes all the facilities required to perform accurate EMC measurements even on non-compliant test sites. The RF9xx pre-selectors further enhance accuracy for broadband conducted emissions.
CONVENIENT
The DR6000 and associated ancillaries can eliminate the use of expensive and inconvenient test lab visits. The self-test and self-certification strategy avoids costly reworking of design and reduces time-to-market.
SIMPLE
These systems are renowned for ease of operation. The software is specifically designed for use by non-EMC specialist engineers, whilst retaining the depth of functionality demanded by experienced test professionals.
Hardware
The DR6000 is an exceptionally well-specified FFT EMC analyser designed to match the requirements of all common EMC standards and includes:
- 9kHz—6GHz frequency range
- 200Hz, 9kHz, 120kHz and 1MHz RBW
- Peak, Quasi-Peak and Average detectors
- Precision frequency measurement at all points in any scan
- Instant zoom capability to any point in a scan
- USB 3.0 interface: Just plug and go
- Optional RF9xx pre-selector for conducted emissions
Software
Software is at the heart of any EMC test system.
The Laplace RF emissions software is a fully integrated Windows-native package. It not only directly controls all aspects of the analyser, it sets the test conditions such as input device, antenna correction and insertion loss. It also includes unique features which can cancel ambient signals, calibrate your radiated test site (in conjunction with an ERS) and provide instant zoom anywhere in the scan.
This software is specifically designed for ease of use by non-EMC expert staff, but retains many exceptionally advanced features.
The Laplace range is fully supported worldwide. Helplines and lifetime software support are included for all customers.
