Loop antenna as required for EMC emissions tests
Also known as Magnetic Loop Antenna, the RF500 is compliant with CISPR 16-1-4. It is ideal for emissions measurements as required by various EMC standards such as FCC 18, CISPR 11, CISPR 13, CISPR 14, CISPR 32 and many more. The built-in, low-noise preamplifier, increases overall measurement sensitivity as well as the overall signal to noise ratio.
As per ANSI C63.4-2014, the use of active loop antenna for compliance testing is permitted in a non-shielded environment ONLY if the saturation indicator is continuously monitored during the course of testing. The Remote Antenna Interface (RF501) is a compact controller which satisfies this requirement. It can be used to enable/disable RF measurement circuit and monitor saturation and battery low conditions remotely via a fibre optic cable up to 30m in length.
