Vasona… The EMC ApplicationAn Overview
Overview • History • Overview and functionality • Future Developments
History • Vasona has been developed during the last 20+ years of EMC testing and development. • After using other commercially available packages it was obvious that they do not provide the necessary functionality to effectively test to the wide range of EMC standards.
Functionality, Basic Tests • Radiated Emissions • Radiated Immunity • RF Conducted Immunity • RF Conducted Emission • Other measurement techniques required to operate effective EMC laboratories
Examples of other functions • Measurement processes, manual to complete automation • NSA (typically 30MHz-1GHz) • Insertion loss measurements (using signal generators, reference sources or tracking generators) • Functionality to allow simple confidence check measurements • Amplifier linearity checks • Audio measurements, SPL and Voltage (CISPR 24) • Preselector control • Tower/Turntable speed control • Transducer factor, simple data reduction
Non-std Advanced Features • Network storage of factors files, equipment drivers and templates • Storage of confidence check results on the network for simple recall and trend analysis • Auto update of all network factors • Email of test results • Email of run time problems • Radio measurements • Traffic generator monitor (bit errors etc) • Simple cable replacement
Typical Test Standards • 47CFR15 • GR1089 • CISPR22, CISPR11, CISPR13… • EN55022, EN55011, EN55013.. • EN50130-4, EN60601-1-2... • IEC/EN61000-4-3, IEC/EN61000-4-6 from low frequency - 40GHzusing chambers, OATS, FAR, FSOATS … and other suitable facilities.
PC System Requirements • Windows application, separate tests can be run/opened in each window. • Win2K, WinXP or WinVista, National Instruments Card (IEEE488), Serial Port, Parallel, USB • This is a large application which does need a higher power PC. It can operate on very slow PCs but it does distract from test operation
Supported Equipment • Agilent/HP856x, 85xx, 444x (pres), 740x, 441x, 43x, 837xx, 83650, 85310, E825x, 8673 • Rohde & SchwarzFSEK, ESCS, ESAI, ESHS, ESMI ESVS, ESCI, ESU, FSP, ESI, SMx, NRVS • Sunol, EMC Test Systems, HD • Field ProbesAR6001, AR5000, AR5080, WG, HI4455, HI6105, HI6005 • Amplifiers, IFI and AR • Switch drivers, HP Drives can be changed by the users, signal source drivers are simple to develop
Report Output • Standard Vasona Print Out • HTML Output • Text File (to be used for import into word) • GIF Graphical Output (to be used for import into word and for HTML)
Future development • Further amplifier control • Above 1GHz SVSWR measurements • Additional traffic generator control • Additional receiver sweep capabilities • Other equipment drivers
