•Application Note: The ARCELL - Immunity And Emissions Testing

The ARCell is a passive shielded enclosure in which to place an EUT (equipment under test) in order to test it for radiated immunity (radio frequency energy affects equipment) or radiated emissions (equipment produces radio frequency energy). It offers a unique combination of features which facilitate the addition of peripheral (active) components to create a complete test system. The resulting configuration offers a practical, easy startup, easy to run facility for evaluation and pre-compliance radiated immunity and radiated emissions testing.

The ARCell test system is most appropriate for groups that are developing electronic equipment to which regulatory radiated immunity specifications apply, or which must be able to function and operate safely in moderate Radio Frequency (RF) field environments. These applications include regulatory EU and military requirements, automotive and medical environments.

These cells are targeted to offer this testing capability to development groups in evaluating electronic hardware at various stages in the development process. Early experimental evaluation helps to promote an awareness of the technical issues involved in creating compliant products. While these cells are primarily selected for radiated immunity testing, they also offer a convenient and quiet site for radiated emissions testing, avoiding the site-dependent and time-dependent ambient interference problems commonly encountered when testing is conducted in open areas.

This Application Note is intended to supplement the current ARCell product specifications, which provide the detailed product description. Refer to these product specifications for technical characteristics of the ARCell and the ARCell Test Systems. Contact AR RF/Microwave Instrumentation for special configuration or performance requirements.
