Specifications for Models: F-2031-23mm & F-2031-32mm
Figure 2: Insertion Loss and K Factor
Broad bandwidth -- usable from 10 kHz to 1 GHz
High efficiency coupling factor, <3 dB from 150 kHz - 500 MHz
F-2031-32mm is ideal for testing multi-conductor cables
FCC offers all of the test accesories required for testing with the EM Injection Clamps including clamp-on current monitor probes, calibration fixtures and ferrite tube decoupling networks with 23 mm and 32 mm apertures.
RF electromagnetic fields frequently degrade electronic equipment by generating common mode currents on cables. The effect of these E and H fields on the equipment can be simulated by injecting common mode currents into the cables of the equipment being tested for RF immunity. IEC 1000-4-6 defines the methods for testing the immunity of electronic equipment to conducted mode currents between 150 kHz and 230 MHz.
The electromagnetic (EM) clamp is a high efficiency broadband clamp-on injection device developed to test the immunity of electronic equipment when the standard IEC 1000-4-6 CDN using the direct capacitive coupling technique is not possible nor appropriate. The EM Clamp is often used to test unshielded multiple conductor cables.
Figure 1 shows a typical test setup using the EM Clamp and a ferrite tube decoupling network
For conducted immunity testing from 150 kHz to 230 MHz the increased efficiency can save the user as much as 100% on required CW amplifier power. The F-203I family requires less than 10 watts to develop the 10 volt open circuit level in accord with the IEC 1000-4-6. When an additional ferrite decoupling or ferrite tube is used in the test the F-203I family requires less than 36 watts to develop the 10 volt open circuit level.
