RF Filters
-
RF Filters block unwanted frequencies when testing electronic devices for emissions during EMC testing. They attenuate unwanted frequencies and allow the desired signals through. The RF filters isolate the device under test from external RF noise, this increases the reliability and accuracy of the EMC testing by preventing out-of-band noise and harmonics.

Antennas
Emissions
-
Laplace offers a Comprehensive range of antennas. These cover all the radiated emissions and immunity test requirements. All antennas are supplied with calibration and AF data.

Product
Synthesisers
Immunity
-
The Laplace Synthesisers cover both conducted and radiated RF immunity test requirements. The frequency coverage extends from 100KHz to 500MHz for conducted tests (RFIC-4-6) and 30MHz – 6GHz for radiated tests (RF3000/RF6000). They are all controlled from the users PC via a USB link, and powerful Windows software is included to enable the user to control all the parameters of the test, to monitor the test in progress, and to view the results.

Coupling Decoupling Network (CDNE)CDN
Emissions
-
CDNEs are based on the CDN as specified in IEC61000-4-6 (Conducted RF Immunity test). In this test, the CDN is used for the coupling of RF onto a cable. In principle, the CDN can be used in reverse, ie coupling any RF on the cable out to an analyser. In an earlier version of EN 55015, these CDNs were specified as suitable for measuring emissions. However, the current version of the standard specifies a CDNE which is essentially a CDN refined to deliver higher accuracy particularly at higher frequencies.

1GHz EMC Emissions Analyser
SA1002
-
The SA1002 provides a high performance capability to measure the EMC compliance of your products. It covers the conducted emission and radiated emission bands to 1GHz, as required by most EMC standards. The included software is Windows compatible and simple to use. This powerful system automatically sets the analyser parameters to suit the test to be performed. Standard limits are available from simple pull-down menu. Results can be directly compared against these limits for easy checks on compliance status.

CDNs
Immunity
-
Laplace supply a wide range of CDNs that are fully compliant to IEC61000-4-6. Laplace are unique in offering two other types. Both types are ‘versatile’ in that they are configurable, offering great flexibility in terms of the type of cable each model can be used with. This reduces the number of CDNs necessary to hold in stock. The final type is, in addition to being versatile, fitted with an output which monitors the RF level applied to the cable.

RF Shield Box
Immunity
-
A small versatile manual shielding box that is designed for small scale device testing such as wireless network cards and wireless communication equipment.

Product
Pre-Selectors for EMC test
Emissions
-
These Pre-Selectors are high specification, switched band filters which track the scanning of the EMC Analyser. Control is via USB link from the Laplace EMCEngineer software supplied with SA1002 and SA3000 analysers. Installation and operation is completely automatic, and the filters will synchronise with the analyser scan without any operator intervention. A front panel switch allows manual operation if required.

Emissions Reference Source (ERS)
Emissions
-
The ERS is a comb generator that radiates RF continuously every 2MHz over the range 30MHz - 1000MHz. Each 2MHz peak is precisely measured during the calibration process with the ERS orientated both vertically and horizontally. These measurements are correlated against a 3m OATS such that any fully implemented CISPR16 site, measuring at 3m and using height scanning, will read the same.

Clean Power Source
AC1000A
-
The AC1000 achieves its unique price/performance ratio by actively adjusting the incoming mains waveform to produce a clean output. Other suppliers use convertor techniques to completely recreate the output from scratch. Our solution delivers an output which achieves the required THD with the minimum of hardware and expense. It includes the ability to switch the correction in or out so that the original waveform can be observed and measured if required. Overload and thermal protection systems are built-in and produce an audible warning if activated.

Servo And VFD Filters
-
Operation of PWM-driven motors – servo motors and variable frequency drives (VFD) – causes several problems in equipment, including damage to the motor’s bearings due to leakage current causing electrical discharge machining (EDM) and damage to motor’s insulation. PWM motors also are a major source of EMI in equipment. These motor drive systems use pulsed power to drive the motors. As we are aware, the sharp edges of the pulses inevitably include high frequency components which can couple or radiate as noise to other parts of your system and cause unreliability, communication/control problems and EMC compliance issues.

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
Immunity
-
The sudden, momentary flow of electric current between two objects with different electrical charges.
