Hi Barry,
Having ridden in a BMW @ 120+ I can truly say that it wasn't a comfortable
experience, in fact it's a common recurring nightmare along with falling off
structures. The same is not true for Audi, but my point was about perception.
As for the R&S? Thats an opinion formed by using it, perhaps the best opinion?
:-)
Derek.

When you want to feel comfortable driving at 220+ km/h (136 mph, for the
metric-challenged), the "image" of BMW (or Audi, or...) becomes a very
desirable reality ...
Maybe the same can be said about that other Bavarian manufacturer, R&S ;-)

P.S. I've worked, as an Application Engineer, with both companies' equipment.

Hi Jim,
First. Get the conflict of interest warning out of the way...
Second. Almost everything you need answers to are one of the reasons we
set
up EMC LAB Services. Suggest you contact Wally Pilat there.
I'm still using my 8566 SA's. As yet they still do everything I need. I
had
the collie conversion done, very nice too.
As for R&S. Well I think of them like BMW's. All image.... Very
expensive

There are options from Agilent, Teseq etc that are far better in North
America.
Cheers.

Hi everyone: We are about to move (groan) and while this
generally is a
pain, it provides the opportunity to fix a few problems along the way. Our 3m
SAC is usable, and indeed gets fairly heavy use, but is not as good as I think
it could be, in a few ways:
- Our emissions measurement correlation to "real" labs
is OK but
could be better, particularly on conducted emissions
- Our aging HP rack (the classic 856x series) is getting
old and is
starting to be costly to maintain - time to switch?
- We have always just had a manual turntable and would
like to see
what's involved in going with a motorized turntable and controller
- We have aging cones, many with broken tips - maybe not
an issue,
but maybe it is?
- We haven't researched what it would take to go past
1GHz with our
RE measurements, but we need to
- Etc.
I think it would be worthwhile to have someone who is an expert
in design
and troubleshooting of SAC's and EMC instrumentation come here, give us a
once-over, make recommendations for improvements that we could implement as
part of the move, and perhaps participate in the teardown and relocation of
the chamber (not as simple as it sounds) or recommend someone who could.
If you are interested and qualified, or know someone who is,
please reply to
me off-line at jim.eich...@ca.schneider-electric.com. I would prefer somebody
at least somewhat local - we are in the Vancouver BC area.
Thanks,
Jim
