Liberty Labs, Inc. and Austrian Research Centers Gmbh - ARC Research have joined to provide the
North American EMC Laboratories with a distribution service for the POD Antenna Set, RefRad, RefRad X, Precision Reference Dipole, and CalStan software packages.
 
 

 
 
RefRad X - Coming soon, Summer 2008! 
 
 
RefRad X is a battery operated field source and comb generator for producing a well defined signal to test the performance of EMC and EMF measurement systems from 10 kHz to 3GHz.

RefRad X guarantees fulfilment of ISO 17025 requirements for the regular check of test eqipment, and avoids costly retesting by detecting defective measurement instruments prior to testing.
 
 
 
 
 


RefRad Model 3000 and antenna coupler
 
RefRad 3000 was designed to be a rapid system "check out" for an EMC test system.  This is accomplished by generating a well defined field in close proximity to the receiving antenna.  This validates the proper performance of the radiated emission test path for the testing engineer.

Option R1
RefRad Model 3000 for coaxial system checkout and radiated functional Check.
Including: RefRad model 3000, battery charger, protective attenuator, with monopole antenna, documentation and transportation case

Option R2
RefRad Model 3000 for system checkout of Field Nose Basic System using Austrian Research Centers Gmbh - ARC PCD 8250 or PCD 3100 antennas.
Including: System R1 with antenna coupler CU8250

Option R3
RefRad Model 3000 for system checkout of EMC radiated emission setup.
Including: System R1 with 1 antenna coupler for your EMC receive antenna (please specify type)

Components and Options for RefRad Model 3000

RefRad Model 3000, comb generator with 1 MHz line spacing, 1 MHz - 3 GHz
Battery Charger for RefRad Model 3000 comb generator
Protective attenuator, 20dB, N connectors. To protect the analyzer input for coaxial measurements
Monopole Antenna, N male connector
Antenna Coupler CU8250 for precise system checkout with PCD 3100 and PCD 8250 antennas
Antenna Coupler are (or will be soon ) available for the following antennas:
  • Biconical: VHA 9103B, VHBB 9124, EMCO 3109, EMCO 3110, KH116
  • Log. Periodic: UHALP 9108A, VULP 9118A, EMCO 3146, EMCO 3148, HL223
  • Bilog: CBL 6111A, CBL 6112A, CBL 6141A, VULB 9160, VULB 9163, EMCO 3142, ARA LPB 2513/A
  • Active: HE200
The list is growing continuously, please inquire if a coupler for your antenna is already available off the shelf. Austrian Research Centers Gmbh - ARC can manufacture couplers upon request when you can send the antenna in for development (antenna needed approximately 1 week at Austrian Research Centers Gmbh - ARC)


 
POD 16 and POD 618 Antenna Set
 
 
 
The POD 16 & 618 are precision broadband dipole antennas with conically shaped radiation elements covered by RF-transparent radome (patented). This rugged construction enables excellent omnidirectional, dipole like radiation pattern up to 18GHz. The POD set meets the requirements of the new CISPR 16-1-4, site validation procedure for 1-18GHz. The POD antenna set when purchased with the antenna mast and base provide the ability to make fast precise measurements for polarization & distance changes.
 

 Components and Options for POD 16 and POD 618 Antenna SetPOD Antenna Stand, designed for site validation measurements according to CISPR 16-1-4 requirements
Accredited ÖKD calibration, calibration of radiation pattern and antenna factor (1° resolution, 1 GHz steps)
RF cables and transport case
 
 

 
 
 
             
CalStan 10.0 - RF Measurement Software 
 
 
 
CalStan 10.0 is a software tool for automation of RF calibrations and measurements of EMC test sites and equipment.  The software controls instruments via GPIB, reads the measurements and computes the results.  CalStan offers a comfortable interface, modular concepts for measurement typs and device drivers and report generation.
