Tektronix Accelerates EMI/EMC Compliance Testing

Tektronix introduced EMCVu, a new all-in-one solution for EMI/EMC pre-compliance testing and troubleshooting. In today's electronic design environment, about 50 percent of products fail electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing the first time. EMCVu gives engineers an accurate, convenient and cost-effective approach to determine if their product designs will pass EMC emission compliance testing on the first try.

At the core of the new solution are the Tektronix real-time USB spectrum analyzers, including the affordable RSA306B, that offer the performance of traditional desktop instruments at a fraction of the cost. Powered through the USB connection, the small size of Tektronix' real-time USB spectrum analyzers makes it easy to perform EMI/EMC testing outside the lab environment in relatively low-noise environments, such as basements or parking garages.

The instruments are controlled by SignalVu-PC software running on a laptop or tablet. For this application, SignalVu-PC has been enhanced with optional EMCVu software to provide pre-compliance and troubleshooting capability in the same user interface. The spectrum analyzer and software are complemented with a comprehensive set of accessories that have all been carefully selected and thoroughly evaluated to maximize test efficiency.
