New EMI test receiver with a frequency range upto 7 GHz from R&S

Rohde & Schwarz has made available a new CISPR 16-1-1 compliant EMI test receiver for 9 kHz to 7 GHz frequencies. The R&S ESCI7 already meets the requirements of the current edition of the CISPR 22/EN 55022 standard for information technology equipment, and enables test houses to adapt their services and features an integrated spectrum analyzer.

The new EMI test receiver is a future-safe solution, they can detect and analyze radiated disturbance up to 7 GHz and check whether their products comply with the future limit values. The ESCI7 can perform a large number of the standard measurements typically encountered in RF development labs. The receiver can measure phase noise, occupied bandwidth and adjacent channel power.

The ESCI7 has low displayed average noise level (typ. -153 dBm at 1 GHz and 10 Hz bandwidth) and wide dynamic range (1 dB compression point of +5 dBm). The test receiver offers the sensitivity required for high-precision EMC measurements using low limit values, as defined by the CISPR 22/EN 55022 standard for the frequency range from 1 GHz to 6 GHz.

The mixed-mode display of the ESCI7 simultaneously shows the RF input signal in the spectrum around the receive frequency, the numeric measurement values and the level bargraph. This display mode gives users a better overview of the spectrum that surrounds disturbance signals and enables them to identify disturbance faster. It also allows more accurate tuning of the EMI test receiver to the local disturbance maximum.
