Overview
The R&S ESCU enhanced signal conditioning unit significantly boosts system sensitivity to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radiated spurious emission (RSE) and can also withstand unintended pulses and electrostatic discharges (ESD), particularly at its input.
The R&S ESCU series of enhanced signal conditioning units covers the frequency range from 100 MHz to 18 GHz. The high performance preamplifiers improve overall system sensitivity and are ideal for measuring low signal levels. The preamplifiers are available in a rugged and compact case and can easily be adapted with brackets to the rack directly on the antenna mast.
A bias unit in the control room can supply power to the R&S®ESCU and significantly reduces the likelihood of potential noise emanating from a power supply into the test site. Since preamplifiers are highly susceptible to damage from ESD, the R&S®ESCU input has been hardened to withstand high levels of static discharge. The R&S®ESCU has higher survivability rates, especially when antennas are connected to their input.
