Description
Overview
The Model AL-130R is compliant with CISPR 16-1-4. It is ideal for emissions measurements as required by various EMC standards such as FCC 18, CISPR 11, CISPR 13, CISPR 14, CISPR 32 and many more. The built-in, low-noise preamplifier, increases overall measurement sensitivity as well as the overall signal to noise ratio. As per ANSI C63.4-2014, the use of active loop antenna for compliance testing is permitted in a non-sheilded environment ONLY if the saturation indicator is continuously monitored during the course of testing.
The AL-130R is an Active Loop Antenna (loop size: 19” x 19” [0.5 m x 0.5 m] with electrostatic shield), operating over the frequency range of 9 kHz to 30 MHz. It has a built-in, low-noise preamplifier, which increases overall measurement sensitivity as well as the overall signal to noise ratio. The antenna is battery powered (rechargeable 6V NimH battery pack). The AL-130R can also be powered by the supplied charger/power adapter. The front panel has LED indicators for RF ON/OFF, power, battery low, amplifier saturation, as well as charging status.
