‘Industry’s first’ pre-compliance application to reduce test margins unveiled

Agilent Technologies has introduced what it claims to be the industry's first pre compliance test solution to reduce test margins and ensure that devices meet regulatory limits.

The N/W6141A EMC measurement application for its X-Series signal analysers is designed for R&D engineers in the aerospace/defence, automotive and communications industries. It is designed to enable R&D engineers to evaluate the EMI performance of designs. According to Agilent, its sensitivity and measurement accuracy enables identification of low level signals and guarantees more precise measurement of signals against commercial (CISPR 16-1-1) and MIL-STD limits with pass/fail and delta indicators. It is also designed to enable simple differentiation of ambient signals from device emissions. A frequency scan can be used to continuously search and measure signals, while a strip chart display and real-time detectors enable views of intermittent emissions over time. This allows out-of-limit device emissions to be identified.
