A significant percentage of products fail to meet the targets required for EMC certification the first time they are tested. With the cost of testing being high, the need for pre-testing a product can severely extend the budget, coupled with the time it takes for engineers and designers to investigate the origin of issues identified by the EMC test. Early stage testing is considered the solution, and EMScanners are a time efficient and cost effective alternative to Chambers or and Probe Testing.
Y.I.C. Technologies product family provides board level design teams with world-leading fast, very-near-field magnetic data to help diagnose EMC design issues. The Scanner product line consists of the EMScanner (high-frequency scanner) and the EMScannerR (high-resolution scanner).
These instruments capture and display visual images of spectral and spatial scan results in seconds. This allows the design team to immediately analyze and compare design iterations. PCB designers can scan any board to identify both constant and time-based emission sources in the range of 150 kHz to 8 GHz.
The EMProbe enables the PCB and Design Engineers to diagnose EMC/EMI problems using regular off the shelf hand held probes. An easy to use Robotic Arm controls the movement of the probe to any direction and an external Spectrum Analyzer provides the results. The EMViewer software is used to control the Robotic Arm and the external Spectrum Analyzer collects and analyze the results.
