The affordable EMC Signal Generator Flexible · Accurate · Extensible An important part of an EMC immunity test system is the RF signal generator. It produces the carrier signal with or without modulation, at a certain signal frequency and with a certain signal level. Most signal generators are multipurpose and hence complex and expensive. The latest expansion of the range of EMC measurement products from D.A.R.E!! Instruments, is the RadiGen-400M: an affordable EMC RF signal generator. Flexible The RadiGen®-400M RF signal generator can be used in Continuous Wave (CW) mode, as well as AM or pulse modulation mode. With its 400 MHz bandwidth it is aimed at conducted immunity set-ups, like the IEC61000-4-6 or the ISO11451- 4 (BCI). Accurate The RadiGen®-400M is an accurate RF signal generator with a frequency error of less than 100 ppm and a modulation accuracy better than 0,2 dB. These figures make it the perfect device for EMC immunity testing. Extensible The RadiGen®-400M plug-in card is designed to fit in the multifunctional RadiCentre® modular system. These systems have space for either one, two or eight cards enabling to build a complete EMC immunity test system. Such a system can for example contain the RadiGen®-400M RF signal generator, one or more RadiSense® field probes, one or more RadiSwitch® switch cards and one or more RadiPower® RF power meters. Of course it is possible to build even larger systems by combining any number of RadiCentre® systems. Easy to use The system is “Plug and Play”, which means that every plug-in card is automatically recognised and initialised by the RadiCentre® and immediately ready to use. The user can configure and control the system by means of external software or through the TFT touch screen (2 and 8 slot systems). The possibility to control the RadiGen®-400M RF signal generator from the touch screen (2- and 8-slot systems), as well as remote by external software, makes it the perfect generator for EMC measurement laboratories. Software support The RadiGen®-400M is software controllable with RS-232 and IEEE-488. Besides the RadiMation® integral EMC measurement software the system can be controlled by all EMC measurement packages. The software command codes, to control the unit, are made available. Linux Based & Software upgrades The RadiCentre® system is Linux based and as such offering great stability and fast start-up times. As all embedded software is stored in flash it is very easy to upgrade the system with new versions. This protects the initial investment.
