R&S has expanded its EPL series of test receivers to cover EMI measurements from 5 kHz to 7.125 GHz, offering flexible configuration options. Depending on the setup, these receivers can be used in development, certification preparation, and final testing to ensure compliance with EMI standards.
Alongside the previously launched EPL1000, which covers 5 kHz to 30 MHz, the new EPL1001 and EPL1007 operate up to 1 GHz and 7.125 GHz, respectively. Basic versions include EMI bandwidths (CISPR 16-1-1, DO-160, and MIL-STD-461) and detectors (CISPR 16-1-1), RF input protection, and automatic attenuation in 1-dB steps.
An optional preselection function improves the measurement of broadband signals and short pulses, while the preamplifier included in the preselection option enables the measurement of small signals. Adding the EPL1-B1611 option upgrades the receiver to full CISPR 16-1-1 compliance, enabling the certification of the equipment under test.
Time domain scan captures entire CISPR bands A or B in a single shot and measures above CISPR band B in 20-MHz steps, saving test time and improving emission detection. Additional options like real-time spectrogram, IF analysis, and a signal generator reduce the need for extra equipment, while battery or DC power operation enables testing in various environments.
The EPL1001 and EPL1007 EMI test receivers can be ordered in Q2 2025.
