EMI Test Receiver Addresses CISPR 14-1 Compliance Testing

March 4, 2024
The R&S EPL1000 now adds click-rate measurements in line with the latest CISPR 14-1:2020 version, mandatory for household appliances and electric power tools.

Operating at up to 30 MHz, the Rohde & Schwarz R&S EPL1000 EMI test receiver provides device developers and conformance test houses with fast, accurate, and reliable EMI compliance measurements.

The cost-effective R&S EPL1000 also has click-rate measurements in line with the latest CISPR 14-1:2020 version, which is mandatory for household appliances and electric power tools. It can perform electromagnetic emission tests on household consumer devices that must have conducted tests up to 30 MHz.

Supporting conventional sequential frequency scan and the fast FFT-based time-domain scan, the R&S EPL1000 can measure CISPR band A and B standard compliance in one shot. Since the latest edition 7 of CISPR 14-1 requires the click rate to be calculated separately for four frequencies in CISPR Band B, along with the R&S EPL1-K59, the R&S EPL1000 can measure all four frequencies in parallel. It evaluates the results faster than other EMI analyzers that measure each frequency sequentially, according to R&S.

Well-suited for both PASS/FAIL compliance tests, troubleshooting during development, and debugging, the R&S EPL1000 can save and recall settings and measurements for subsequent analysis, which can also be exported for post-processing. Features include zoom-in and markers to help examine the values of individual clicks, and measure time and level differences beyond standard click analysis.
