EMC measurement probesNarda Safety Test Solutions has added two new probes to its measurement programme and considerably extended the
possibilities for the professional measurement of electromagnetic fields.
Two new probes, Type 18 and Type 33, again extend the areas of use for the EMR-200 and EMR-300 field analysers from Narda Safety Test Solutions.
National and international standards are continually setting ever lower threshold values. Narda Safety Test Solutions is now offering the newly-developed Type 18 probe for precise monitoring. Because of its extreme sensitivity this probe is specified for measurements from as low as 0.2 V/m.
The Type 18 probe measures frequencies between 100 kHz and 3 GHz. Areas of application are the typical frequency ranges for telecommunications (e.g. GSM) and industrial applications (e.g. microwave ovens for drying processes).
The probe is isotropic, i.e. it can carry out measurements independently of the position in which it is
held. Together with the basic devices EMR-200 or EMR-300 and the magnetic field probe Type 14, this new E-field probe completes a package for measuring very low EMF in the high frequency range that is unique in the world.
The Type 33 thermocoupler probe extends the measurable range upwards. Frequency ranges between 300 MHz and 50 GHz can now be measured safely. This is particularly noticeable in multi-frequency environments and with strongly modulating signals such as those created by radar, GSM and UMTS.
The flat frequency response means that it is not absolutely essential to know about the frequencies present and their characteristics. In addition, measurement is made easier by the probe's isotropic characteristics.
