Ah! I believe one exists! For PCB's anyway. I did not believe it when I read about in an EMC magazine (Compliance journal I think), so I asked for a demo last month and true to his word, the man came in and showed me their new invention: the 'EMC Scanner'. I had him scan one of my PCB's and indeed it picked up all the frequencies I had picked up at the test house, but in addition, gave me a graphical picture where exactly (down to the IC!) the emissions were coming from!

Ideally, the device would allow adjustable band 'viewing' of the radiation frequency, intensity, polarity and propagation pattern(s). A rig like this could add a pc for compliance recognition/cataloging and perhaps someday eliminate the need for OATS, TEM cells and other investigatinve methods. The system could also harass on a per sample basis in situ mfg. product. -kyle, KC0IQE -----Original Message----- From: Doug McKean [mailto:dmck...@corp.auspex.com] Sent: Friday, August 03, 2001 8:40 PM To: EMC-PSTC Discussion Group Subject: Re: TV nostalgia <snip> Now, if we could just train ourselves to sniff out some of those pesky EMI problems ... - Doug McKean _____________________________________________________________________ This message has been checked for all known viruses by Star Internet delivered through the MessageLabs Virus Scanning Service.
