Rohde & Schwarz RTO6-K31 Specifications |
R&S RTO6-K31 Power Analysis |
General Description |
The R&S RTO6-K31 power analysis option extends the R&S RTO64 firmware with measurement functionality focused on switched mode power supplies (SMPS) and DC/DC converters |
Input |
Quality |
Evaluation of power quality at an AC input; measures real power, apparent power, reactive power, power factor, and phase angle of power, frequency, crest factor, RMS of voltage, and current |
Harmonics |
Measures up to the 40th harmonic of the incoming line frequency; pre-compliance checking for IEC 61000-3-2 (A, B, C, D), RTCA DO-160, MIL-STD-1399, max. limit checks |
Inrush current |
Measures peak inrush current; multiple measurement zones configurable with analysis of the post-inrush behavior |
Switching/Control Loop |
Slew rate |
The slope of current or voltage is measured at the start and end of the switching cycle |
Modulation |
Measures modulation of switching frequency and duty cycle under steady state and start-up conditions |
Dynamic on-resistance |
Measures resistance of the switching transistor(s) in active state |
Power Path |
Efficiency (only for 4 channel devices) |
Measures input and output power to calculate the efficiency of an SMPS |
Loss |
Measures switching loss and conduction loss of a power device |
Safe Operating Area (SOA) |
Checks violation of voltage and current limits in which a power device can operate without damage; current versus voltage view (linear or log); violation mask is user-defined and editable in linear and log-log views |
Turn on/off |
Measures relationship between AC and DC current, when turning the SMPS off and on |
Output |
Ripple |
Measures AC components of output voltage and current, AC RMS, frequency, duty cycles, min./max./peak-to-peak amplitude |
Spectrum |
FFT analysis of output, measurement of frequency peaks |
Transient response |
This measurement captures the device behavior between the event of load changes and stabilization; includes peak (voltage, time), settling time, rise time, overshoot, and delay |
Deskew |
Automated |
By using the R&S RT-ZF20 probe deskew and calibration test fixture and Rohde & Schwarz voltage and current probes, the skew between the voltage and current signal is compensated automatically |
Reporting |
Easy reporting: Click to save a measurement. Report generation using user-selected test results from historical and currently active tests. Put repeated and/or different measurements in one report |
