Rohde & Schwarz said that its updated R&S EPL1000 EMI test receiver features click rate measurements in line with the latest CISPR 14-1:2020 version.
The electromagnetic emissions of a wide range of household consumer electronics that must comply with CISPR 14-1 require conducted tests up to 30 MHz, the company said. R&S EPL1000 complies with the CISPR test procedures for frequency bands A and B.
The Click Rate Analyzer option provides click rate measurements in line with CISPR 14-1 and the Japanese DENAN Law requirements, Rohde & Schwarz noted.
In a media statement Rohde & Schwarz said: “These measurements are mandatory for household appliances and electric power tools with switching operations such as cookers, air conditioners and washing machines, because the switching process can cause discontinuous disturbance (“clicks”) or spikes in emissions.”
Rohde & Schwarz said the device is suitable for use by device developers and conformance test houses.
The R&S EPL1000 is fully compliant with CISPR 16-1-1 (referenced by CISPR14-1) including the click rate analyzer measurement function. In addition to the standard calibration documents for the individual base units, documentation of the click rate verification using pulses defined in accordance with CISPR 16-1-1 is available, as required by EMC test houses.
Rohde & Schwarz said it will be showcasing the new R&S EPL1-K59 Click Rate Analyzer option at the EMV trade fair 2024 in Cologne later this month.
