Compliance EMC conducted and radiated measurements to 3GHz
The Laplace SA3000 EMC analyser provides an exceptionally powerful and cost effective tool for manufacturers and others who wish to measure EMC emissions from their products. When used with the RF9xx range of pre-selectors, accurate measurements even with conducted broadband emissions are obtained.
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 software is a true Windows program which means that results can be easily transferred to printer and disk and to other applications such as Word and Excel.
A full range of compatible accessories is available, including compact test cells and antennas, all fully calibrated to 3GHz.
- 9KHz—3GHz range to cover EN, FCC and international standards.
- Powerful PC software control and automation included.
- 200Hz RBW and Tracking Generator options.
- USB interface for very simple operation.
- Compact and simple to use whilst including all the necessary features for self testing your own products.
COMPREHENSIVE
The SA3000 covers both conducted and radiated emissions testing from 9KHz to 3GHz. An optional 200Hz I.F. filter ensures fully compliant measurements covering ALL emissions including Band A (9KHz—150KHz).
POWERFUL
This analyser and the associated software includes all the facilities required to perform accurate EMC measurements, even on non-compliant test sites
CONVENIENCE
The SA3000 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’.
SIMPLICITY
These systems are renowned for ease of operation. The software is outstanding in terms of flexibility and intuitive user interface.
Hardware
The SA3000 is an exceptionally well featured EMC analyser designed to match the requirements of all common EMC standards and includes:
- 9KHz—3GHz frequency range
- 200Hz (opt), 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
- Audio demodulator (FM and AM)
- USB interface, just plug and go
- Optional pre-selector for conducted emissions.
- Optional tracking generator output.
Software
Software is at the heart of any EMC test system.
The Laplace RFemissions software is a fully integrated Windows compliant 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.
Finally, the Laplace range is fully supported worldwide. Helplines and lifetime software support are included for all our customers.
