Multiband testlevels
Test levels[edit]
In RadiMation’s MultiBand testing modules, "test levels" are settings that control how power is regulated, limited, and measured during EMC testing. They play a crucial role in ensuring that devices under test are exposed to consistent and precise levels across multiple frequency bands. Here’s how test levels work and how they affect your testing process in RadiMation:
Types of Test Levels[edit]
In RadiMation’s MultiBand modules, there are different types of test levels that each serve a unique purpose during testing:
- Power Leveling (Test Level): This type of test level sets the target power level that the test equipment should aim to achieve. It ensures that a specific level of electromagnetic energy is consistently applied to the device under test.
- Power Limitation (Limit Level): This is used to cap the maximum power level that the system can apply. By setting limit levels, you ensure that the power applied never exceeds safe or specified levels, helping to protect the device under test from overexposure.
- Measurement Inputs (Input Level): Input levels define what measurements are necessary during the test. For instance, they can specify particular signals or parameters that the system should measure at specific points during the test, allowing you to monitor the test environment and the device's behavior closely.
How Test Levels Are Applied[edit]
Test levels in RadiMation can be configured to suit the specifics of your testing requirements. Each test level can have its own configuration, and the RadiMation software allows you to select and adjust these levels within the test module’s interface. For example, you can set different test levels for different frequency bands, helping to simulate various conditions that the device might encounter.
When setting up a test in a MultiBand module, you’ll be able to choose a test level from RadiMation’s built-in list of available test levels for a given module. Once a test level is selected, the system will:
- Regulate Power: If you selected a power leveling type, the system will continuously adjust to maintain the specified power level during the test.
- Enforce Limits: If you set a limit level, RadiMation will prevent the power from exceeding this limit, which can be especially useful when testing devices with sensitive components.
- Measure Inputs: For input levels, the system will capture and log the specified measurement data. This data will come available in the test data and can be used for furthet visualization and reporting.
RadiMation’s MultiBand modules also allow you to set up multiple test levels for a single test. This flexibility enables you to create complex testing scenarios. Test levels in RadiMation’s MultiBand modules are essential settings for regulating, limiting, and measuring the levels too which the devices under test are submitted. By configuring these levels appropriately, you can ensure accurate and effective testing outcomes.
