Power Sensor Delivers Low Frequencies Needed For EMC/EMI Tests

The E9304A power sensor for the firm’s EPM Series E4418B and E4419B power meters provides a 9-kHz-to-6-GHz frequency range, which gives users the low-frequency coverage required for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and electromagnetic interference (EMI) test applications. The sensor’s wide dynamic range of -60 dBm to +20 dBm enables EMC test engineers to capture the full range of field strengths produced during testing, which in most cases eliminates the need to switch power sensors. The sensor’s low frequency range is also useful for measuring transmitter power and receiver sensitivity in the installation and maintenance of VLF to HF radios.
