The LC600 from Laplace Instruments is an EMC Test Cell with a frequency
range from 30 MHz to 3 GHz (optional 6 GHz). It complies with the IEC61000-4-
20 standard and is calibrated for emissions and immunity testing. The cell has
an EUT testing size limit of 60x 60 x 60 cm, is equipped with a field sensor, and
achieves commercial test-level standards with low RF power input
requirements. It has an antenna factor correlated to 3m OATS for emissions
calibration. The test cell has an efficient design that can deliver 20V/m with 25
W of RF input power.
The LC600 cell features a balanced dual septum design with an impedance
conversion network. This design modification optimizes the volume available
for the Equipment Under Test (EUT) within the external dimensions of the cell,
significantly enhancing field linearity and matching the conditions of an OATS
chamber. Its EUT volume is fully encased in structural polycarbonate, ensuring
robust support for heavy products. Cell access is facilitated through a spacious,
full-height door at the cell's end.
This test cell is available in an enclosure that measures 3.2 x 1.6 x 1.3 m and
includes USB, RS232 and RS485 interfaces. It has a stainless-steel construction
with welded construction and a Polypropylene EUT chamber.
Electromagnetic Absorber from 800 MHz to 110 GHz for Oblique Incidence
The IS-SM050-TE from TDK RF Solutions is an eElectromagnetic magnetic
aAbsorber for frequencies from 800 MHz to 110 GHz. It that has a pyramidal
shape with a length of 50 cm and delivers excellent performance for
microwave and millimeter waves. This absorber consists of a polyethylene
foam base, utilizes the ohmic loss of carbon and is stable against chemicals
with long service life. It has a typical absorption characteristic of up to 55 dB
and is specifically designed for oblique incidence. This absorber is fire retardant
(NRL Classes 1, 2 and 3; UL-94HBF) and
uses materials that, when burned, emit gases that are relatively harmless to
humans. It is available in a standard dimension that measures 600 x 600 x 500
mm and is suitable for cellular testing and various wireless access operations.
