3D Precision Technology used to assist high-density board designers to use off the shelf hand-held probes and visualize the root causes of potential EMC and EMI problems during pre/post EMC compliance testing.
EMC and signal integrity are major concerns in the design of ultra-high speed (>2 GHz) PCBs. While EMScanner allows designers to easily locate emission by placing the PCB on its flat surface, the EMProbe allows users to test the component side of the PCB and adjust the height of the scan.
This enables the design engineers to diagnose EMC/EMI problems, limited only by the choice of the Spectrum Analyser and the Near Field Probe, and allows them to visualize the root causes of potential EMC and EMI problems in/on/off a non-flat surface or the complete product.
During any new product development process, design engineers must find, characterize and address unintended radiators or RF leakage to pass compliance testing. EMProbe allows board designers to pre-test and resolve EMC and EMI problems early on, thus avoiding unexpected EMC compliance test results.
EMProbe delivers repeatable and reliable results that pinpoint, in less than a second, the cause of a design failure. As a result, the user can personally test the design without having to rely on another department, test engineer, or time-consuming off-site testing. After diagnosing even an intermittent problem, the engineer can implement a design change and retest. The results provide concrete verification of the effectiveness (or not) of the design change.
The EMProbe solution consists of a computer controlled Robotic Arm, Near Field probe and a customer supplied Spectrum Analyser, all controlled by the EMViewer software
