The Gold standard for EMC Anechoic Chambers, this 10 meter test range ensures EMC compliance testing Emission and Immunity testing and is compliant to ANSI C63.4/CISPR-16-1-4 with a Test Volume diameter of 4 meters or greater. The most versatile and accurate of EMC test chambers. Ferrite tiles and hybrid pyramidal absorbers allow for high accuracy and performance while meeting compact space requirements.
The CISPR25 emc chamber is designed for emc compliance benchtop testing of automotive components and wiring harnesses . The MVG CISPR25 emc chamber is designed for the emc measurements using the requisite 1 m test distance and for a “typical bench” configuration of 2.5 m x 1.0 m. The unique design requires less volumetric space than traditional absorbers and still provides the volume required to have the requisite distances between the EUT and the walls and the emc absorber and the walls & ceiling. The chamber is designed with anechoic treatment that meets the specified attenuation in the CISPR 25 standard, and it is designed to meet the Long Wire testing specified in Annex J. The polypropylene emc absorber does not undergo the typical age-related deterioration of the typical “foam” polyurethane absorbers. The UH-series, polypropylene emc absorber is also applicable to the radar pulse testing required in some automotive test standards.
Flexibility
- DC, AC and RF/microwave device characterization, 1/f, WLR, FA and design debug
- Full thermal range of -60°C to +300°C
- Compatible with TopHat or IceShield
- Usage of manual and motorized positioners, probe cards within EMI-shielded environment
- Upgrade path to meet your future needs
- Stable and repeatable measurements over a wide thermal range
High accuracy and repeatability
- Reliable and repeatable contact
- Moisture-free, light-tight and EMI-shielded test environment with MicroChamber® technology
- Advanced EMI-shielding with PureLine and AttoGuard technologies available
- Superior low-leakage and low-noise measurements
- Safe and accurate hands-off testing
- Minimizes settling times for efficient measurements over full thermal range
