Aaronia PBS2 - 5 PA - Near-field PBS2 5 Probe Set (with Amp)

Active high performance E & H Near Field Probes incl. 40dB EMC RF pre-amplifier with wide frequency range up to 9GHz. High accuracy. Integrated probe tripod connection for perfect adjustment.

The EMC Near Field probe set allows for straightforward pinpointing and measurement of interference sources in electronic component groups as well as execution and monitoring of generic EMC measurement. Our RF near field probe set is especially suitable for:

• Pinpointing interference sources
• Estimation of interference field strength
• Verification of shielding and filtering measures
• Identifying faulty components
• Detecting circuitry overly sensitive to interference

The set includes a total of 5 probes: 4 probes for magnetic field measurement and one for measurement of electric fields. All probes are covered with an insulating layer, thus allowing safe measurement of oscillators or mains lines.

Contains a high-performance pre-amplifier

The PBS2 probe set additionally contains a high-performance pre-amplifier, allowing measurement of significantly weaker interference sources, boosting the sensitivity of our instruments by up to 40dB. All probes have deliberately been implemented as passive devices to make them usable as transmitting devices as well. Consequently, components and circuits sensitive to interference can easily be pinpointed.

Perfect for locating interference sources which might have been found e.g. in an EN55011, EN55022 or EN50371 (Class A or Class B) survey. After implementing appropriate changes in the circuit, their efficiency can easily and reliably be verified. That way, expensive and time consuming re-assessments in an EMC laboratory can be skipped.
 
Verification of official EMC limits: For example, should an interference source exceed an official EMC limit by 10dB, our probe set can easily verify if a certain countermeasure succeeds in making the circuitry conforming again.

This is another situation where the probe sets can eliminate the need for expensive and time-consuming measurements in EMC laboratories. Very useful is the integrated (1/4”) tripod connector which allows to mount the probes on each tripod.
 
The RF Probe Set can be connected to any Spectrum Analyzer or Oscilloscope. For units with N-connector we offer a SMA-to-N Adapter (optional).

Each Probe offers a SMB-quick-connector which allows a fast connection/change of the included measurement cable. The tripod connector at the bottom side of each probe allows the comfortable fixation using the included miniature tripod.
