For EMC Emissions Testing of Luminaires according to EN 55015
The RF300 is a fully compliant and calibrated 2 metre diameter triple Van Veen Loop. This antenna is specifically manufactured in accordance with CISPR16 for the compliance 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).
