EMI Automotive Band Evaluation with R&S©EMC32-K51

(Radiated EMI Measurement of emissions received by an antenna on the same
vehicle, Figure 4). EMC32-K51 provides a conducted and a radiated emission test with
the same icons in the Test Setup as we know from other EMC32 extensions. The
difference is that the hardware setup is not found in the System folder below the sub-
folder Hardware Setups but is integrated into the EMI Automotive Test Template itself.
To configure a test we have to start as usual with the Device List, where we have to
define all devices we need for the new test. As we said we will concentrate on radiated
test

2.1 Populating the Device List
Radiated EMI Automotive tests need the following devices:
EMI Test Receiver or Spectrum Analyzer
Antennas (given as car antennas or antennas acc. Figure 1)
Switch Unit to connect automatically the band related antenna with the
receiver.
Signal Paths between antennas and the receiver.
The Device List opens via Menu: “Extras > Device List …” or function key “F9”. An
example of a properly filled Device List is shown in Figure 5. Some of the devices need
further configuration. The path configurations of the switch unit have to be done in the
properties of the switch unit in the Device List itself, the settings of the EMI test
receiver are only accessible in the EMI Automotive test template editor.
