Overview
EM-ISight-4 Electromagnetic Scanning System Single Probe Solution 10kHz – 40GHz
EM-ISight is the first fully flexible EMI/EMC measurement system built on 5 or 6 axis articulated robots designed to support multiple applications and industries including networking, automotive, integrated circuits, aviation, military, and consumer products. Used as a compliance system for IEC-61967-1-6 or a pre-compliance / development tool, the abundance of features meet most requirements for research, design and analytical needs.
Custom applications can be developed by the user for EM-ISight allowing for a complete customized test platform. The footprint of the system means that it can be introduced to most measurement environments with multiple frequency range and robot sizes to choose from. The system can be housed in the optional mobile shield, and has an assessed noise floor (sensitivity) of below -139 dBm* when used with high end spectrum analyzers.
EM-ISight is an affordable and easy to use system with great return on investment when using the Far Field Approximation (FFA) module. It is a true alternative to costly pre-compliance EMC chambers which have high maintenance costs and use significant floor space. Integration of high end Low Noise Amplifiers at the core of the transmission line yield low insertion loss and high unwanted field rejection of better than 25dBm. Easy setup for measurement profiles (less than 60 seconds) using the optional camera and touch detection allow complex topologies of a PCB to be taught in real time.
Integration of 6 axis robots allows for measurements in traditional Cartesian or advanced Horizontal plains. Users can utilize a measurement frequency span of 10 kHz to 40 GHz using our proprietary single probe solution.
