Emissions Reference Source

The ERS is a comb generator that radiates RF continuously every 2MHz over the range 30MHz - 1000MHz. Each 2MHz peak is precisely measured during the calibration process with the ERS orientated both vertically and horizontally. These measurements are correlated against a 3m OATS such that any fully implemented CISPR16 site, measuring at 3m and using height scanning, will read the same. In practice, informal sites and test chambers will produce significant differences due to the presence of reflections and/or lack of height scanning. The ERS allows these differences to be quantified and EUT measurements can then be corrected.This technique substantially improves the measurement accuracy of radiated emissions on all but the best test sites.
