Experiment No.8: DUT, Equipments and Accessories Model Name Quantity

Experiment 8 aims to measure the radiated emissions of a BPF filter using a near field H-probe antenna. The objectives are to study near field measurement techniques of transmission lines and perform EMI analysis. The equipment used includes a hair pin BPF, spectrum analyzer, coaxial cables, an H-loop magnetic probe antenna, and terminator. The procedure connects the signal generator to the BPF and measures emissions around 900MHz at different points near the BPF traces using the H-probe antenna connected to the spectrum analyzer. Voltage and current are then calculated from the measured power level.

Introduction of Near Field Probe Antenna

The RF Explorer Near Field Antenna Kit is a set of 4 high performance antennas designed
for the most demanding RF diagnosis tasks:
RFEAH-25 – H-Loop magnetic 25mm diameter
RFEAH-15 – H-Loop magnetic 15mm diameter
RFEAH-5 – H-Loop magnetic 5mm diameter
RFEAE-10 – E-Field stub 10mm length

Magnetic H-Loop description


The three magnetic H-Loop antennas are very sensitive, compact and easy to use
antennas for all sort of radiation sources. Compared with other near field antennas,
RFEAH are smaller and lighter, exactly what fits best when space is constrained in a PCB.
Included with the antenna is high quality semi-flexible RF cable, this cable works as the
handler of the antenna.

The big advantage of this approach: you can shape the cable the way you want for the
antenna to be located exactly where you need it, in most cases with no need to hold it in
your hand.
Nevertheless, in many cases you need a quick measurement done in a unique orientation
or location, just use the semi-rigid cable has the holder of the antenna.
You can also connect this semi-rigid cable to any external SMA Cable of any additional
length to couple it to a distant instrument.
There are three different magnetic antenna options: As the antenna diameter gets shorter,
the spatial resolution increases at the cost of some sensitivity loss at low frequencies, but
best response at high frequencies; you should select RFEAH-25 for best sensitivity with
connectors, large ICs and isolated signal traces, whereas RFEAH-5 works best for very
narrow selective work in a populated PCB with close-by signal traces. RFEAH-15 is a
good in-between compromise.
Below comparison table shows how RFEAH antennas with higher diameter have better
sensitivity at low frequencies, and smaller diameter antennas have better sensitivity at
high frequencies.

From the response graph above, covering 1GHz band – usually the most used for EMC
and sniffing diagnosis:
 RFEAH-25: best option for 1-300MHz
 RFEAH-15: best option for 300-550MHz
 RFEAH-5: best option for >550MHz
 RFEAE-10: lower sensitivity at low frequencies than all H-loop models. However
it improves at higher frequencies and exhibits better space resolution

Stub E-Field description


The electric field RFEAE-10 stub antenna offers a remarkable spatial resolution to
determine the exact component in the PCB causing a problem, no matter how small it is.
You can easily determine signal level at the input and output of a filter, amplifier, mixer,
etc in a tight SMD assembly as picture below.

The RF cable is coupled with an easy to use SMA Push-On adapter; therefore the
different antenna models can be easily plugged in/out as required for the task. There is
no need to deal with SMA nuts, just plug-n-play antennas.
To correctly use the magnetic antennas and produce maximum sensitivity, please
observe the following suggestions:
Measurement of Radiated emission of Hair PIN BPF Setup
Procedure:
1. Set the Source (TG) transmitting Freq 900MHz and TG output power a 0dBm.
2. Set start freq of spectrum analyzer 300MHz to stop frequency 1.5GHz
3. Connect TG RF OUT of Spectrum to Antenna to port1 of Hair Pin BPF using SMA
cable.
4. Connect Semi rigid SMA cable to RF IN of Spectrum analyzer.
5. Connect RFEAH-5 – H-Loop magnetic antenna to in front of Semi rigid cable of
Spectrum analyzer.
6. Place Antenna near field probe at U turn of BPF as shown in fig which is closed to pcb
trace approximately gap between probe and antenna is 0.2mm.
7. Move RFEAH-5 – H-Loop magnetic antenna probe and Note down power level at
different point location on hair pin BPF.
8. Measure power level at 900MHz frequency.
Calculate Voltage(V) and Current (I) using below formula

Where R is 50 ohm.
