Test Software Updates
The SW1007 Software for radiated susceptibility and conducted immunity testing has been redesigned to control more equipment as well as provide additional setup features, new IEC calibration options, and greater capability to customize tests. Each software module is based on a different type of EMC testing, with predefined standards built in.
An updated user interface supports a tab system that organizes features. Report generating now incorporates detailed graphs and data tables. Other new features include an equipment manager for accessing equipment from any module, notification when any equipment entered is approaching its calibration expiration date, large bandwidth tests broken up by antenna bandwidths, and user-defined amplitude and frequency thresholding capability that supports the MIL-STD 461 thresholding method. SW1007 also allows for up to two modulations in addition to CW per frequency, and a searchable help file offers video tutorials. AR RF/Microwave Instrumentation
Circuit Protection Devices
The TransGuard® CAN Bus Series of high-temperature circuit protection devices offers high current and energy handling capabilities, advanced EMI/RFI attenuation in addition to low-leakage characteristics at rated temperatures, and fast response time to ESD strikes.

Field Analyzer Set
The SFA-S Selective Field Analyzer Set combines an active broadband isotropic antenna with a portable USB-powered spectrum analyzer. The OFA-S Omnifield Antenna® has a frequency response independent of antenna or electric field orientation and a broad dynamic range. The SA-S Spectrum Analyzer displays the frequencies and field strength of selected signals and automatically performs channel power measurements, allowing results to be viewed and stored on a PC. A standard SFA-S set also includes the PU-5S Power Unit, a custom ferrite-beaded RF cable, an AC/DC charger, a table tripod, and a storage case. EMC Test Design
Filters With Surge Suppression
RoHS-compliant EMI filters with optional surge suppression are available for 100-120, 200-240, or 100-277 line voltages and can be mounted with ¼” quick-connect terminals. Encapsulated construction complies with EN 133200 and UL 1283; a UL94 V0 plastic enclosure increases protection against electrical shock. Leakage current is reduced by eliminating the capacitor to earth ground connection. Standard models incorporate 5.0-mH common-mode inductors suitable for up to 6-A service. Options include bypass capacitors for increased differential-mode noise rejection and MOVs to protect against line transients. Foster Transformer
ESD Simulator
ESD 3000 is a battery-powered hand-held ESD simulator configurable for 30-kV or 16-kV applications or both. The lightweight unit provides intuitive single-handed operation, a backlit LCD showing test parameters, and full automation including nine on-board nonvolatile memory locations to store test routines. Key features include electronic polarity switching, a current-sensing pulse counter, and preprogrammed test levels to the standard associated with a range of interchangeable R-C discharge modules. The voltage can be programmed to step up or down for automated testing at specific test levels. HV Technologies
Multiextrusion Gaskets
The Gemini™ 81 and the Gemini 93 Gaskets combine a silicone elastomer seal with an electrically conductive elastomer. Gemini 81 includes a silver/aluminum conductive elastomer while the Gemini 93 is constructed using nickel/graphite conductive elastomer, resulting in both an EMI shield and an environmental seal against water, moisture, dust, and mildly corrosive atmospheric conditions due to smog. The shielding gaskets are available in standard and custom profiles and with adhesive. Laird Technologies
Variable Diameter Ferrite
The SS28B2044 Variable Diameter End Port Ferrite addresses applications that operate between 10 MHz and 1 GHz. It offers 260 O of impedance at 100 MHz. The bisected FerriShield ferrite integrates 16 spring-like flutes around the inside diameter of its nylon case to accommodate installation on cables ranging from 0.125” to 0.730”. An optional adhesive mount pad can be added to the ferrite base to help anchor cables inside an electronic enclosure. Leader Tech
Silver Conductive Epoxy
Polymer System EP21TDCS-LO is an electrically conductive silver-filled epoxy that passes ASTM 595 for NASA low outgassing specifications. The adhesive cures at room temperature in 24 to 48 hours and in 1 to 2 hours at 200°F. It features a tensile shear strength of >1,800 psi, a T-peel of >5 pli, and volume resistivity of <10-3 O-cm. The epoxy can be used in environments ranging from 4°K to 275°F and withstands thermal cycling. It can be applied with a syringe, knife, spatula, or trowel. Master Bond
Broadband Amplifier
The 80RF1000-250 is an 80-MHz to 1-GHz 250-W amplifier housed in a 3U-high unit. It features GaN transistor technology and a cable-free motherboard to accommodate push-fit RF modules and power supplies. The maximum harmonic distortion at 250 W is -20 dBc. The amplifier is controlled via IEEE, Ethernet, USB, or RS-232, and a safety interlock connector is provided via a rear-panel D connector. Front-panel indicators incorporate color bar graph displays giving the unit’s operational status. The 80RF1000-250 ships with a communications suite and is suitable for IEC 61000-4-3 testing installations or as a retrofit. MILMEGA

The FPN arrestors are designed for testing to MIL-STD-188-125-1, -461, and -464 and meet temperature, salt fog, immersion, moisture resistance, temperature shock, dust and waterproof rating, vibration, and mechanical shock specifications. NexTekEMI Test Software
XLR 8.0 Software addressing both compliance and precompliance testing focuses on three major capabilities: automated test sequencing, tower and turntable controls, and dynamic report generators. Test sequencing provides automated features that allow an operator to set up a sequence of unattended tests. While the tests are being conducted, the software will monitor and compile data, which then is used to generate a report. The tower and turntable controls enhancement eliminates the task of manually adjusting testing components with each test. The dynamic report generator produces professional-grade reports.
