Using High Powered CW & Pulsed Amplifiers for EMC Testing | Ft. ATEC & EXODUS

Описание: A Hands-On Demonstration and Fundamentals of using High Powered CW & Pulsed Amplifiers for EMC Testing.

Amplifiers play a pivotal role in EMC testing, particularly in radiated immunity tests, where they are used to generate the high field strengths required to evaluate a device’s resilience to electromagnetic interference. This demonstration while be a hands-on overview of the fundamental principles of using both CW and pulsed amplifiers for EMC purposes. Key topics that will be covered are RF connections, best practices, system monitoring, VSWR, modulations, remote control, selection of correct amplifier, and field strength calculations.
