Description
EMScanner EMC Scanner – Fast, Accurate PCB EMC Diagnostics
The EMScanner EMC Scanner is a powerful high-frequency desktop solution designed for fast and reliable electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) diagnostics. Operating across a wide frequency range of 150 kHz to 8 GHz, it enables engineers to identify and resolve emission and immunity issues directly at the PCB level, saving valuable time and costs during development.
With its 1,218 H-field probe array and effective spatial resolution of 3.5 mm, the EMScanner provides pinpoint accuracy in detecting noise sources, shielding weaknesses, and broadband disturbances. The flat, compact scanner fits seamlessly into a laboratory or design bench, offering an easy-to-use and cost-effective solution for engineers working on high-speed, high-power, or high-density PCBs.
The system integrates with a spectrum analyzer and is supported by the EMViewer Software, which enhances usability with real-time spectral and spatial scanning, peak-hold functions, 3D visualization, comparison tools, and automatic report generation. Engineers can run multiple scans simultaneously, overlay CAD data, and track results in real time to verify the effectiveness of design changes instantly.
Designed for industries such as automotive, aerospace, medical electronics, telecom, and defense, the EMScanner helps reduce testing time by more than two orders of magnitude. Users have reported up to 50% shorter design cycles, thanks to the scanner’s ability to identify and resolve issues without waiting for external compliance testing.
From emission and immunity testing to filter design and shielding validation, the EMScanner EMC Scanner delivers unmatched speed, accuracy, and repeatability, making it an indispensable tool for modern electronic design teams.
