How do the EMI Receiver for EMI spectrum work

EMI receivers are a very good tool for analyzing EMI spectrums. This article will investigate alternatives such as spectrum analyzers. We will see how LISUN’s EMI receiver fares in the market in terms of standard compliance. video

EMI receivers

EMI receivers are data gathering instruments. These have high performance for analysis. EMI receivers are useful when transient signals or spurious emissions are present. They help when fast acquisition rates are needed.

Electromagnetic interference is also known as EMI. It is the electronic noise that interferes with cable signals. This reduces the signal strength and integrity. Sources of electromagnetic radiation include motors and machines.

EMI falls into two types. These are conducted interference and radiated interference. Conductive interference is the blocking of signals from one electrical network to another. This is done through a conductive medium. Radiated interference is the travel of an interference signal from the source to another electrical network through space.

EMI-9KB EMI receiver

LISUN EMI-9KB EMI receiver has a full closed structure and high electro-conductivity material. This results in a high shielding effect. The test results are shown using the international test report format. The EMI-9KB complies fully with CISPR15:2018, CISPR16-1, GB17743, FCC, EN55015, and EN55022.

LISUN EMI-9KB EMI Receiver has operation frequencies of 9K-300MHz, LISN-A Artificial Network Power (5A). It also has a CDNE-M316 Coupling/Decoupling Network for Emission, 3pcs Isolation Transformers, Attenuator, and cables.

Electromagnetic Spectrum

The electromagnetic spectrum is the entire scattered collection of electromagnetic radiation. It is based on frequency or wavelength. All electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light in vacuums. They do it over a wide spectrum of wavelengths and photon energies.

The electromagnetic spectrum includes all electromagnetic radiations. It is divided into many subranges. These include visible light and ultraviolet radiation. This lets these portions have different names.

Differences include emission, transmission, and absorbing of the similar waves and various practical applications. There are no precise accepted boundaries between these bordering portions so these ranges tend to overlap.

EMC test chamber

An electromagnetic compatibility test chamber is also known as an Electromagnetic Interference chamber. It is used to assess electronic devices. This is done for regulatory compliance with radiated and conducted radio frequency immunity and emissions.

Open-area test sites (OATS), test cells, and EMC test chambers come in a variety of shapes and sizes. The semi-anechoic chamber is the most commonly used type of EMC test facility for EMC testing.

Semi-anechoic chambers

An anechoic environment is a non-reflective, non-echoing, and echo-free environment. Semi-anechoic chambers are better for all radiated and conducted emissions standards. These include ANSI C63.4 and CISPR 16. These standards define the methods for calculating radio-noise emissions. These calculations are made from low-voltage electrical and electronic equipment.

RF shielded room

The RF shielded room is the foundation of the semi-anechoic chamber. This RF-impenetrable box shields electric and magnetic fields effectively. It is suitable for emissions testing. Outside signals or ambient noise cannot penetrate these rooms. In this way it simplifies EMI spectrum testing.

Immunity testing needs signals from within the enclosure to stay in the chamber. They should not escape into the outside world. They may cause damaging interference to nearby equipment or personnel.

Importance of spectrum analyzers

Technologies have made radio frequency signals and wireless communications very common. Common examples are Wi-Fi, mobile networking and communications, wireless internet device sensors, traditional radio and RADAR.

Testing and designing such circuits and systems should be done with these analyzers. It is beneficial to see the entire signal spectrum as well as other factors. Those include fake signals, noise, modulated signal width, and more.

Swept spectrum analyzers and vector signal analyzers do not have such abilities. They just supply frequency or modulation domain snapshots of the signal. These are not enough to find the dynamic and transient nature of modern RF signals.

Spectrum analyzers measuring

A spectrum analyzer shows the amplitude range of a signal. This is done at various frequencies. It is used for signal analysis. This helps us find if the signals are within acceptable limits. It shows noise, false signals, complex waveforms, and rare short-duration events. Spectrum analyzers find transient signals, burst transmissions and glitches. It can also decide if the stronger signals are masking weaker ones.

These devices are often used for product testing. They are used to investigate the changing dynamic frequency spectrum of modern RF and audio signals. They display both the individual signal elements and the performance of the circuits that generate them.

Organizations also use them to decide what changes are needed to reduce interference. This boosts the effectiveness of Wi-Fi systems and wireless routers.

Differences between spectrum analyzers and EMI receivers

Swept spectrum analyzers are scanning instruments. They continuously tune their local oscillator (LO) frequency to cover the frequency range of interest. A kind of EMI receivers use a stepped sweep. Those involve tuning the tool to fixed frequencies in defined frequency step sizes. This covers the frequency range of interest. The amplitude is measured at each tuning frequency and saved for later processing or display.

Most swept spectrum analyzers do not have preselection. They have more filtering built into the front-end of the instrument. This is just before the first frequency conversion mixer stage. Common results are lacking dynamic range for low repetition frequency pulse measurements with quasi-peak (QP) detection. These can lead to incorrect measurement results.

Pre-selected swept spectrum analyzers are commercially available. These instruments may meet all the requirements specified in CISPR 16-1-1. They may be used to perform fully compliant emission measurements per CISPR 16-2 and other emission standards such as EN 55011 and EN 55022 if they are fully compliant.
The specifications for QP detection for spectrum analyzers without preselection are less stringent. Their use is relies on the signals to be measured.

A kind of spectrum analyzers lack a built-in preamplifier. EMI receivers usually have a preamplifier after the preselection stage. This results in a much lower noise floor figure. EMI receivers can detect signals lower noise floor figure. It would be lost on the noise floor of less sensitive spectrum analyzers otherwise.
