Rohde & Schwarz has introduced a groundbreaking high-gain EMI microwave antenna , expanding its EMC measurement portfolio to cover frequencies up to 44 GHz . This innovation enables accurate electromagnetic interference (EMI) measurements for devices operating in the FR2 frequency range , making it an essential tool for industries requiring compliance with stringent EMC standards.
Unmatched Electrical Performance for Efficient Testing
The new antenna boasts exceptional electrical performance, combining a high antenna gain of approximately 14 dBi at the center frequency with a 3 dB half-power beamwidth exceeding 28° . This advanced design allows the antenna to fully illuminate an Equipment Under Test (EUT) with a cylindrical volume of 1.5 m x 1.5 m from a distance of just 3 meters in a single measurement.
This level of efficiency not only reduces testing time but also increases throughput, enabling faster results. Additionally, the antenna’s ability to operate closer to the EUT minimizes the need for large EMC chambers, offering a more cost-effective solution for laboratories and manufacturers.
Compliance with Updated CISPR Standards
The antenna is fully compliant with CISPR 16-1-4 and the updated CISPR 16-2-3 standards. The latest update extends the frequency range from 1 GHz to 18 GHz up to 40 GHz and mandates a minimum 3 dB half-power beamwidth of 28° . Rohde & Schwarz’s new antenna exceeds these requirements, ensuring reliable and precise measurements for compliance testing across industries.
Seamless Integration with R&S ESW44 EMI Test Receiver
When paired with the R&S ESW44 EMI test receiver , the new antenna forms a comprehensive system for full compliance testing up to 44 GHz . Designed for speed and accuracy, this combination delivers consistent and dependable measurement results, positioning it as a future-proof investment for EMC test laboratories and manufacturers.
