NFPKIT, EM Near Field Probe Kit w/Camera & Software

5 E/H-field probes | Camera tracking | Live EMI visualization

NFP Kit adds camera-based position tracking to handheld near-field measurements. EMViewer recognizes the probe and measurement location from visible markers, helping engineers map emission sources while moving the probe by hand. The kit combines five electric/magnetic probes, a camera, mounting arm and measurement software with your compatible spectrum analyzer.

NFP Kit - Camera-Tracked Near-Field Probes and EMViewer

5 E/H-field probes | Camera tracking | Live EMI visualization

NFP Kit near-field EMC and EMI diagnostic system

Application and capabilities

NFP Kit adds camera-based position tracking to handheld near-field measurements. EMViewer recognizes the probe and measurement location from visible markers, helping engineers map emission sources while moving the probe by hand. The kit combines five electric/magnetic probes, a camera, mounting arm and measurement software with your compatible spectrum analyzer.

  • Locate RF sources around components, traces, cables and assemblies.
  • Compare before/after changes using consistent probe orientation, height and analyzer settings.
  • Use EMViewer to connect measurement values with their location on the DUT.

Measurement workflow

StepWhat the engineer does
1. Configure Choose the frequency band, analyzer settings and scan area; connect the DUT and measurement system.
2. Locate Run a spectral or spatial scan to identify frequencies and emission hot spots.
3. Investigate Refine the region, probe position or resolution while keeping the setup controlled.
4. Compare Repeat after a design change, compare results and retain maps and reports.

Software and configuration

EMViewer links scan position with RF measurements. Available modes include spectral sweeps, spatial hot-spot maps and combined scans. Confirm the supported software release, analyzer driver, license and support term when configuring the system.

EMViewer software information | Spectrum-analyzer compatibility

Keep the probe markers and tip in focus and visible to the camera with suitable lighting. Tracking quality depends on setup; no numerical position accuracy is specified.

The retained probe datasheet lists E 00A02 to 18 GHz, while the current manufacturer kit page lists 14 GHz. Confirm the supplied probe version and correction file for the required band.

900 mm working-radius example; usable scan envelope customized +/-0.02 mm robot repeatability; scan spacing specified per project
Array spacing, effective resolution, robotic scan spacing and robot repeatability describe different properties. Probe systems do not have one continuous guaranteed frequency range independent of the selected probe and analyzer. CR5 values are a project example; final specifications are defined by quotation. Near-field diagnostics support EMC development and do not replace a formal emissions compliance test.
