EM TEST CWS 500N2.3 Continuous Wave Simulator

Description

CWS 500N2.3 Continuous Wave Simulator for BCI (Bulk Current Injection) from 4 kHz up to 1 GHz

EM TEST CWS 500N2.3 Continuous Wave Simulator is designed for testing RF conducted immunity to narrowband radiated electromagnetic energy starting from 4 kHz up to 400 MHz.

The BCI test method is widely known in the military/aircraft and the automotive industry to test single components of a complex system. The CWS 500N2.3 is used for tests as per MIL STD 461 D/E/F/G CS 114, ISO 11452-4 and IEC/EN 61000-4-6 with CDNs and EM clamps and related standards.

The compact CWS 500N2.3 is a very flexible solution and can be used in the laboratory as well as everywhere in the field.
