The X-Wing BiLog for RF EMC immunity and emission testing in compact chambers

Immunity Testing
The combination of BiLog® technology with novel low frequency, folded elements (X-Wings®) allows low frequency power to be efficiently projected forward without significantly affecting the high frequency performance and, at the same time, reduces the chamber coupling effects. The CBL 6143 has a unique matching network which will allow powers of up to 300 watts CW to be transmitted, making it suitable for most immunity measurements requiring fields of 10V/m, or even greater.

Emission Testing

The innovative geometry of the log periodic section of the CBL 6143 has been created using advanced  modelling techniques of the University of York. This shape optimises the gain performance over conventional log periodic antennas at frequencies above 700MHz and extends the useful operating range to 3GHz. This improvement is invaluable in measurement systems using receiving instruments with high noise floors at high frequencies, saving preamplification which is not always desirable or practical when measuring high level signals or broadband impulsive noise.

Individual Calibration

All CBL 6143 antennas are supplied individually calibrated with data providing the free space antenna factor and gain using our custom designed software on our UKAS test range. All calibrations are traceable to national standards. Alternative calibration methods can be offered if requested at time of order.
