Overview
The Amplifier Research MT06002 (Multistar™ Multi-tone tester) is a state-of-the-art system designed to test RF Radiated and Conducted immunity faster than ever before possible. By testing multiple frequencies (tones) at once, test times can be reduced by a factor equivalent to the number of tones selected. The number of tones is only limited by the signal generator bandwidth (1000MHz) and the size of the amplifier used with the system.
The MT06002 contains all the instruments needed to perform radiated and conducted immunity testing for various immunity standards except the required amplifiers, antennas and directional couplers. Amplifiers can be sized and selected based on your required field levels and testing needs. Up to 4 RF amplifiers and directional couplers can be controlled and monitored and power can be delivered to up to 4 antennas to generate the desired fields.
The system contains a vector signal transceiver, an RF field probe and monitor, an RF switch matrix, and automated radiated immunity test software. Everything is contained in a single housing, which eliminates setup issues. The software includes automated routines to calibrate the field and maximize the speed of the test, by generating the most tones possible, while still meeting the Linearity and Harmonics requirements of the specification.
In the event of a EUT failure, margin investigation (thresholding) and traditional single tone testing can be performed causing a slowing of the test only in the areas of concern. This system has the versatility needed for every test laboratory and equipment manufacturer while adding the benefit of reduced test times and greater throughput.
