The EMScannerR system operates from 150 kHz to 8GHz and delivers repeatable & reliable results

EMScannerR: 150 kHz- 8 GHz, 0.06mm resolution, EMC desktop scanner

EMScannerR: 150 kHz- 8 GHz, 0.06mm resolution, EMC desktop scanner

150 kHz to 8 GHz | External spectrum analyzer | Down to 0.06 mm

EMScannerR helps engineers locate and compare PCB emission sources across a 316 x 218 mm scan area. Its eight selectable resolution levels run from 7.5 mm down to 0.06 mm for detailed investigation of dense boards. Use it with a compatible external spectrum analyzer and a PC running EMViewer.

Measurement workflow

Step	What 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

Scan times are examples tied to scan area, frequency span, RBW and resolution; the finest resolution is not a full-area real-time scan.

Dielectric-withstand values are test ratings, not a blanket safe operating-voltage rating for an energized DUT.

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.
