Meter provides low-cost EMC assessment.(leading edge)

EDN, November, 2004 by Schweber, Bill

BEFORE YOU TAKE your product to a lab for requisite EMC certifications, it's worth doing a quick but accurate test on home ground. The Smart Fieldmeter from EMC Test Design can help you with that task. The handheld, tripod-compatible, detachable, isotropic probe covers 0.2 MHz to 3 GHz and is calibrated for field-strength values of 0.2 and 600V/m. Battery life is 100 hours, and the unit includes a remote output for datalogging and closed-loop field control. The NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology)-traceable unit costs only $2000. "It uses older, nonlinear analog techniques but with updated components, rather than a more expensive processor-based design;' says its developer, Roman Litovsky.
