CellnotesAdvantages of test cells

•Eliminate ambient•Known calibration•Compact size•Ease of use•Located in your own lab.•Convenience•Not dependant on the weather!

Advantages specific to LaplaCell

•Smallest size•Better field uniformity

Test chamber option

GTEM field- poor uniformity

LaplaCell field- far better uniformity

•Impedance matched for better results•Free space impedance is 377ohm (Ideal)•GTEM cells are 50ohm systems•Laplacell features impedance conversion to 200ohm•Much closer to ideal

•Complies with IEC61000-4-20•Latest standard for the calibration of cells

•Built-in field sensor•Save cost and complexity

RF910Pre-selector units RF910 and RF915

As specified by CISPR16and recommended for conducted

emission measurements if the EUT produces broadband noise.

These pre-selectors effectively pre-filterthe incoming signal such that theanalyser input is not overloaded

by broadband energy.

Not required if EUT producesnarrowband noise.

RF910 covers band B (150KHz – 30MHz)RF915 covers bands A and B (9KHz – 30MHz)
