For EMC Emissions Testing of Luminaires according to EN 55015
The RF300 is a 2 metre diameter triple Van Veen Loop. This antenna is specifically manufactured in accordance with CISPR16 for the testing of luminaires as required by EN 55015.
The RF300 is complete with 3 axes loops and all cables and loop selector patch panel.
The supporting structure features a rigid non-metallic PVC frame designed for ease of assembly yet reducing to a compact size for transportation and storage.
The current sensors fitted to each loop feature a fully screened passive inductor design that avoids any issues related to overload or compression.
An optional calibration loop (RF300C) is available. This includes a stand and pivot adaptors to enable use with vertical and horizontal loops. Use of the calibration loop ensures that on-site calibration can be achieved, thus eliminating any effects due to the surroundings. Note that a suitable signal source with 1v rms, 50 ohm output is required (not included with the RF300C).
