Overview
The R&S®HZ-15 EMC near-field probe set covers E-field and H-field near-field measurement from 30 MHz to 3 GHz alongside an oscilloscope. The set holds two passive electric field probes and three electrically shielded passive magnetic field probes, which connect directly to an oscilloscope, a spectrum analyzer or a measuring receiver. The optional R&S®HZ-16 preamplifier adds 20 dB of gain and lifts sensitivity considerably on weak signals. The electrical shielding keeps E-field coupling out of the H-field measurement, and the probe tips are shaped for near-field work, giving the spatial resolution needed to pin down the source of an EMI problem. Being passive and bidirectional, the H-field probes can also inject a signal for localised immunity testing.
Key features
- Wide frequency range, 30 MHz to 3 GHz, covering the usual EMI trouble bands
- A complete set: 2 E-field probes plus 3 H-field probes in different sizes for different measurement needs
- Electrically shielded magnetic field probes suppress electric field coupling, so the H-field reading stays honest
- High spatial resolution: tips shaped for near-field measurement pinpoint the source of interference
- Bidirectional H-field probes inject a signal for localised immunity testing (local current injection)
- Simple to use: connects to oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers and measuring receivers
- Optional HZ-16 preamplifier: 20 dB gain (100 kHz to 3 GHz) for weak-signal work, 1 dB compression point +8 dBm
- Broad compatibility: the HZ-16 works with both the R&S®HZ-15 and the R&S®HZ-17 probe set
Typical applications
- EMI debugging and interference source location: finding radiation hot spots while the board is still on the bench
- Near-field scanning: mapping local E-field and H-field distribution on a PCB to study signal integrity
- EMC pre-compliance: quick debugging before formal certification testing, shortening the development cycle
- Localised immunity testing: injecting interference into a specific area of a circuit with the bidirectional H-field probes
- Use with R&S oscilloscopes such as the RTM3000, RTA4000 and RTO2000 for time-domain EMI analysis
- Use with spectrum analyzers and EMI test receivers such as the R&S FPC, FSH, ESR, ESRP and ESW
