EMProbe: 9 kHz- 18 GHz, Upto 0.2mm resolution, EMC Robotic scanner

EMC/EMI issue testing is straightforward and accurate with 3D precision technology.

Used to assist high-density board designers to use off-the-shelf hand-held probes and visualize the root causes of potential EMC and EMI problems during pre and post-EMC compliance testing.

 

3D Precision Technology is used to assist high-density board designers to use off-the-shelf hand-held probes and visualize the root causes of potential EMC and EMI problems during pre and post-EMC compliance testing.

EMProbe enables the PCB and Design Engineers to diagnose EMC/EMI problems using regular off-the-shelf hand-held probes. An easy-to-use Robotic Arm controls the movement of the probe in any direction and an external Spectrum Analyzer provides the results. The EMViewer software is used to control the Robotic Arm and the external Spectrum Analyser collects and analyses the results.

Different types of Robotic Arms can be used, based on the desired size and resolution.

 

High-resolution EMC scanner

 

 

New Feature Release

Envelope scanning is a major new feature added to the EMViewer software using the EMProbe.

Envelope scanning enables the engineer to define the DUT’s 3D “envelope” by setting the probe height for each scanning point, enabling close scanning that allows the probe to go between individual components. The height definitions are saved to the project file after the first calibration, allowing quick and seamless repeatable scans.

This feature is only available when using the EMViewer with the EMProbe Robotic Arm.

 

Ideal PCB projects for EMScanner are boards designed for high speed, high power, and/or high density/complexity. Any PCB that places a premium on board real-estate also qualifies as an excellent candidate. The compact, flat scanner provides PCB design teams with an easy-to-use, costeffective, and proven tabletop solution. Emission, immunity, filtering, EMI shielding, broadband noise and Common Mode testing are some of the applications that the EMScanner system addresses in mere seconds.

With EMScanner, design teams can personally test their designs without relying on another department, test engineer, or time-consuming off-site testing. After diagnosing even an intermittent problem, the engineer can implement a design change and retest, and the results provide concrete verification of the design change's effectiveness (or not).

EMScanner diagnostic capabilities allow design teams to reduce testing time by more than two orders of magnitude. Users have also documented fifty percent reductions in design cycle times.
