EMI FFT Receiver full compliance up to 18 GHz with external extensions EMI Receiver: 9010F | NARDA SAFETY TEST SOLUTIONS

EMI Receiver: 9010F – The 9010F from Narda Safety Test Solutions / PMM is a high-performance FFT EMI receiver designed for fast and accurate electromagnetic emission measurements. The base instrument covers a frequency range from 10 Hz to 30 MHz and provides full compliance with CISPR 16-1-1 from 9 kHz to 30 MHz.

Combining direct analog-to-digital conversion, advanced digital signal processing and ultra-fast FFT spectrum analysis, the 9010F significantly reduces measurement times compared with conventional stepped-frequency EMI receivers. Its gapless FFT acquisition supports the analysis of time-varying and intermittent electromagnetic disturbances.

With the optional external full-compliance extension units 9030, 9060 and 9180, the measurement range can be extended up to 18 GHz. Connected through a high-speed fiber-optic interface, these modules make the 9010F a flexible platform for advanced EMC measurement systems in testing and development laboratories.

Additional Information

The 9010F serves as the core of a modular full-compliance EMC measurement system. While the base receiver covers 10 Hz to 30 MHz, external measurement modules provide full-compliance operation at higher frequencies.

The 9030 extends the frequency range from 30 MHz to 3 GHz, the 9060 covers 30 MHz to 6 GHz and the 9180 provides measurements from 6 GHz to 18 GHz. Continuous frequency coverage up to 18 GHz therefore requires a suitable extension covering 30 MHz to 6 GHz in addition to the 9180.

The external receiver units are connected to the 9010F through a high-speed fiber-optic interface. This arrangement allows the RF measurement unit to be positioned away from the main receiver and reduces the need for long RF cable runs.

Conducted emission testing requires a suitable external LISN. The PMM Emission Suite supports measurement system control, test data evaluation and results documentation.

EMCO Elektronik provides technical consultation and support for selecting appropriate frequency extension modules, configuring full EMC measurement systems and integrating the 9010F into existing laboratory environments.
