EMI Test Receiver Basics: Is it time to upgrade from your spectrum analyzer?

One of the most significant pieces of equipment used in an Emission (EMI) measurement is the EMI test receiver. In this presentation, we cover the basics of what an EMI test receiver is and why it is so indispensable for EMI measurements. We start with discussing what an EMI measurement is and cover what is required to make these measurements. We then follow up with how an EMI test receiver is designed to make these measurements. Lastly, we cover one of the enhanced features of an EMI test receiver called Time Domain Scan and show what benefits this enhancement provides to the user.
