DARE!! Instruments delivers first RadiField Triple A to Royal Philips

The RadiField makes use of a regular coaxial cable to transfer the RF signal, the DC power and the communications to and from the instrument. This allows for an easy integration in existing situations.

The RadiField Triple A contains three RF power amplifier modules, each connected to an integrated directional coupler, two RF power meters and a broadband antenna. Instead of combining the RF power of the amplifiers, the RF field is combined resulting in a significantly more efficient solution.

Complete Radiated Immunity Solution : The RadiField, as delivered to Philips, is a complete solution and also contained a RadiCentre EMC test system equipped with a plug-in card for the RadiField interface. The RadiCentre was also equipped with a RadiGen 6 GHz signal generator, the plug-in card for the RadiPol polarizer and a RadiSense 6 GHz E-field probe. The signal paths are switched by means of RadiSwitch plug-in cards.

With all these instruments integrated in one 4U high 19-inch rack mountable RadiCentre, Philips upgrades their EMC facilities with one compact, efficient and cost effective solution.

Revolutionary concept : For almost 50 years EMC radiated immunity testing has been dependent on large and, as a result, costly amplifiers. This is about to change because DARE!! Instruments has come up with a revolutionary new concept; the RadiField Triple A broadband E-field generator. A complete new product range has been introduced:

Broadband 1 GHz to 3 GHz or 1 GHz to 6 GHz

Models up to 10 V/m @ 3m and 30 V/m @ 1m

Compact solution with integrated amplifiers, power meters and antennae

Full compliant with the IEC61000-4-3 standard

Plug & Play – no additional measures needed

Single regular coaxial cable for RF signal, power and communication

Up to 50% more cost effective than a conventional RI test system

Advantages - the RadiField Triple A offers a unique solution for customers who are:

in need of an EMC Radiated Immunity (RI) setup above 1 GHz

require a compact and easy to use EMC RI test system

don''t want to waste their budget on power losses

interested in an electric field instead of heat

looking for a cost effective and efficient solution

From now on, forget about power – It''s all about Field!
