Introduction
In this application note detailed explanation of the specific functionality ‘Optimize Angle’ and ‘Optimize Height’ is described. The main purpose it to convey how it can be used during a test or to further optimize the performance of a test. The objective is to present the measurement tips and procedures to be used in practice. When applying this application note in practice we advise to use at least RadiMation 2013.x or 2014.x versions. A valid Software Protection Key with the Radiated Emission module installed is required to perform the tests. Expected end-user skill level is rated beginner or novice.
How to perform a basic Radiated Emission test?
We will describe briefly how to start a basic Radiated Emission test.
Step 1: Adding drivers
Here will be explained how to add (virtual) device drivers. Select from the RadiMation® main Menu:
Select the desired Device Driver Type from the drop-down menu and create the new driver.

Step 2: Create Test-site
Configure also a new Test Equipment for the Radiated Emission test.
Enter a new name and click Ok. The minimum of device types we need for to be added to this equipment is: Antenna, Turn Table, Spectrum Analyser or Scanning Receiver. When finished click Save and click Close, as can been seen in Figure 1.

Step 3: Create EUT
Create a new EUT for this Application Note. Choose from the RadiMation main Menu:
Step 4: Start new test
Enter a new name and click Save. Do not close the EUT window after it is created. Start a new Radiated Emission test of the type Multiband. Open from the RadiMation main Menu:
Step 5: Configure TSF
Select from the opened Test Setup File (TSF) window the desired Frequency Range to be measured (Figure 2: Frequency Range). Select the Test Equipment (from Step 2: Create Test-site), as can be seen in Figure 3: Test Equipment.
How to use the Continuous Measure method?
- Write
- Max-hold
How to use Optimize Angle?
- Configuration in TSF and after pre-measurement
- Interpret of the Angle polar plot graph
