R&S®EPL1000 EMI TEST RECEIVER

Product Overview

R&S ® EPL1000 is an EMI testing receiver designed for the frequency range of 5kHz-30MHz. Its core is used for conducting and radiating interference measurements, meeting the CISPR 16-1-1 standard. It is also compatible with military/navigation marks such as MIL-STD-461 and DO-160, and integrates EMI testing, spectrum analysis, signal source/tracking source. It is suitable for laboratory, on-site, and outdoor use.

Key issues

Question 1: R&S ® What are the core advantages of time-domain scanning (TDS) of EPL1000 compared to traditional scanning?

Answer: The core advantage is extremely fast speed, which can complete CISPR A/B full frequency scanning in a single measurement, CISPR B quasi peak single line only takes 3 seconds; supports up to 100 seconds of seamless measurement, can reliably capture intermittent/transient disturbances, and can simultaneously enable multi detector parallel measurement without the need for multiple tests.

Question 2: What power supply methods does EPL1000 support and what usage scenarios do they correspond to?

Answer: Supports three types of power supply: ① AC 100-240V: laboratory fixed use; ② DC 12-24V: In vehicle/on-site scenarios without mains power supply; ③ Built in lithium battery: outdoor/no power in-situ test, nominal endurance of 2 hours, battery replaceable to extend usage time.

Question 3: What are the key processes that EPL1000’s automated measurement can achieve and how can testing efficiency be improved?

Answer: It can achieve multi band automatic scanning, LISN multi-channel automatic switching, preview peak search final testing fully automatic, limit value automatic comparison and judgment PASS/FAIL, and report automatic generation and export; No manual intervention is required, and the testing process can be replicated. For example, the entire process of testing EN 55015 lighting fixtures only takes about 13 seconds, significantly reducing labor and time costs.
