A wide range of configuration possibilities are available in addition as well as full automation software packages making the TDEMI ULTRA the perfect match and the most cost efficient solution you have ever seen in your lab.
Automated Conducted Emission Measurements within a Second
The TDEMI System simplifies and tremendously speeds up the measurement procedure but it also enhances the quality of your conducted emission measurements at the same time. Thus you get to your final test result just within a few seconds - and you're done. The line impedance stabilisation network (LISN) is remote controlled by the TDEMI. All phases are measured fully automatically. The report generator creates the test report according to the given limit lines selected or specified by the user. Complete setups incuding limit lines, transducers and settings can be stored by the measurement software’s user interface and just needs to be recalled the next time and you're ready to go.
Automated Measurement of Disturbance Power in full Real-time
Measurements of disturbance power are carried out using an absorber clamp that is moved along the cable of the device under test. Instead of measuring many positions afterwards maximazation and finally re-measuring the ciritcally frequencies only which is a very time-consuming and out of date procedure - now the complete spectrum up to 300 MHz can be measured with quasi-peak in real-time by the TDEMI X receiver series which only takes around 20 seconds - depending on the speed moving of the clamp along the cable track. By using the max hold function the maximum emission level of all (!!) positions is obtained. The report generator documents all the maximas and the test report is generated fully automated. Complete setups incuding limit lines, transducers and all other applied settings can be stored and just recalled the next time by the very easy-to-operate instrument's software interface.
Full Quasi-Peak Characterization in Real-time up to 1 GHz
Originated by the conventional heterodyne receivers and its very slow sequential frequency scanning technology prescans are performed to detect some critical frequencies only to reduce the total scan time of the following final measurement to be carried out at those identified frequencies only. Now, the TDEMI X Measurement System allows to improve the over all quality of testing. By using the TDEMI X receiver the measurement is performed with quasi-peak detector and carried out at up to 64,000 frequencies in parallel. Thus it is possible to perform your final quasi-peak measurment in real-time - measuring all frequencies and all position of your DUT - resulting, for the very first time, in a full quasi-peak characterization of your DUT. This speeds up your testing by orders of magnitudeand at the same time the quality of your measurements is increased and the measurment uncertainty is reduced by orders of magnitude. The measurement of radiation patterns can be performed and visualized in 2D and 3D images to identify the radiating sources and also the test reports can be generated fully automated.
Radiated Emission Measurements above 1 GHz
Typically emission measurements above 1 GHz are carried out at several angular positions for horizontal as well as vertical polarization. Instead of spending hours with a conventional heterodnye receiver, the TDEMI X coming with its MultiGHz real-time scanning feature tremendously speeds up your measurements and testing procedures. Instead of carrying out a scan per angular position each, rotating the turntable continuously while measuring in real-time. MaxHold is used to obtain the maximum emission over all positions. By the report generator the maxima are calculated and listed in a table and the report is generated. The result is again a reduction of the overall testing time by magnitudes. E. g. a reduction of about a factor of 20 can be achieved compared to performing a complete test with conventional heterodyne receivers and 10 degree steps of the turntable.
Radio Frequency & Microwave Technology
For our ultra high-speed analog-to-digital converter systems, manufactured in impeadance controlled multi-layer technology with up to 12 layers, special high-performance analog and mechanical components are needed. Such high performance systems are assembled in mechanically precise manufactured enclosures machined from a single piece of aluminium thus providing an excellent heat dissipation and best long term stability over the years of operation.
The TDEMI Measurement Systems in the upper GHz range use analog circuits with excellent RF performance for the front-end.
Such circuits have been developed and optimized especially for the application in EMC measurements. In Fig. 40 a part of a multi-channel switch for the frequency range up to 26.5 GHz is shown. A special thin-film substrate and bare die monolithic integrated circuits enable highest performance. The complete mounted circuits are assembled in enclosures with highly mechanical precision made of gold-plated brass providing excellent RF characteristics. In the upper frequency range filter, mixer and switches are used which exhibit excellent RF performance, e.g. the pre-selection up to 26.5 GHz uses filters with a loss of less than 1 dB. Filters with low dispersion allow excellent impulse response for broadband signals.
Fig. 41 shows a bandpass filter. For the development of such circuits very powerful simulation tools are used. The filters are manufactured on special thin-film ceramic substrates which are assembled in gold-plated precision enclosures finally.
Emission measurements in the frequency range can be carried out on open area test sites (OATS) or in anechoic chambers. Fig. 42 shows a fully anechoic chamber for testing of frequencies up to 20 GHz. To compensate the missing tips of the absorbers the room is completely cladded with special ferrite tiles.
