HP 84100EM EMC Design Development System, 9 kHz to 1.8 GHz

Identification, isolation, and resolution of EMC problems early in the design process is key to a successful product introduction. With the HP 84100EM design development system, breadboard evaluation is simple and accurate. The calibrated close field probes help you locate and isolate radiation and susceptibility problems at the breadboard level. A ROM card includes probe calibration factors. Test results can be output directly to a printer. The HP 84100EM is based on the HP 8591EM 1.8 GHz EMC analyzer with tracking generator and includes the HP 11945A close field probe set which covers 9 kHz to 1 GHz.

[ Features ]

Automatic functions speed and simplify EMC troubleshooting and evaluations.
Complete measurement setups can be stored and recalled.
Test reports may be output directly to a printer.
Close field probes locate and isolate emission "hot spots" and susceptibility problems on PC boards and cables.
