Advantages of test cells
•Eliminate ambient
•Known calibration
•Compact size
•Ease of use
•Located in your own lab.
•Convenience
•Not dependant on the weather!
Advantages specific to LaplaCell
Cellnotes
•Smallest size
•Better field uniformity
GTEM field
- poor uniformity
LaplaCell field
- far better uniformity
•Impedance matched for better results
•Free space impedance is 377ohm (Ideal)
•GTEM cells are 50ohm systems
•Laplacell features impedance conversion to 200ohm
•Much closer to ideal
•Complies with IEC61000-4-20
•Latest standard for the calibration of cells
•Built-in field sensor
•Save cost and complexity

RF910
RF910 and RF915
As specified by CISPR16
and recommended for conducted
emission measurements if the EUT
produces broadband noise.
RF1000 or RF2000
These pre-selectors effectively pre-filter
the incoming signal such that the
analyser input is not overloaded
by broadband energy.
Not required if EUT produces
narrowband noise.
RF910 covers band B (150KHz – 30MHz)
RF915 covers bands A and B (9KHz – 30MHz)
Photo shows RF910 below SA1000 and PC
Emissions Reference Sources
ERS
These sources can be used to simply check
an established site prior to measurements,
or
To calibrate an unknown site.
Note that the dominant source of measurement
uncertainty for radiated emissions is the test site!
ERS
1GHz reference source
EMC3.5
3.5GHz reference source.
Fully traceable to NPL
Extremely compact
Only 12 x 7 x 14cm
2MHz spacing
Provides auto site

RFI test-a
IEC61000-4-3 requires EUT to be
immersed in strong modulated RF fields
over the range 80MHz – 1GHz, or higher!
The specified techniques are fully incorporated into
The Laplace test system comprising a LaplaCell,
system controller and power amplifier.
See CLIENTS for total automated solutions.
