Rigol Technologies continues to surf the RF waves, now revising the economics of in-house RF testing for UK users with their low cost models at Rigol-uk.co.uk. With some DSA-series analysers now packing free enhancement for both Advance Measurement capabilities and EMC/EMI too (e.g. EN 61010-1:2010, essential to CE), Telonic’s offering now enables in-house tests with EMI filters, Quasi Peak Detectors and advanced measurement kit (AMK), as standard on A-series only. With a range of models users can now save on in-house EMC Pre Compliance testing – suited to both conducted emissions and radiated emissions – up to 3 GHz. Costs of a fully compliant EMC test instrument in accordance with CISPR 16-1-1 will break the bank. Yet RIGOL’s feature packed DSA-range is found to be only barely shy of the extreme CISPR Lab-spec, enabling end-users across industry to make substantial gains with essential pre-compliance, with great confidence and now at a fraction of the cost.
The latest bonus for economic lab development is with the 2GHz and 3GHz-capable models: DSA1030A and DSA1030 models are available with optional 3 GHz -TG (tracking generator) and an optional VSWR bridge, so they can also be used as a scalar network analyser. The A-series’ own built-in pre-amplifier allows up to -148 dBm Displayed Av. Noise Level (DANL), and with advanced standard functions like power measurement, Harmonic Distortion or TOI (3rd order intermodulation) the DSA1030A analysers are ideal for powerful and versatile 9kHz-3GHz measurements. And if you need only 1.5GHz, true to form, Rigol’s DSA815 and DSA815-TG’s are also at a new economic price.
RIGOL’s advanced approach employs the latest digital IF, now standard for all Rigol spectrum analysers, helps minimize errors due to filter switching and reference level uncertainties; display errors suffered by traditional analogue IF designs when they switch between log and linear amplitude are minimised too. Telonic also offers a ready-to-connect Near Field Probe Set to fit all Rigol DSAs.
With Rigol, you can now troubleshoot and test designs on your bench, keeping you on-schedule and ensuring your final visit to a full compliance lab is more productive. Pre testing like this is increasingly popular with engineers to stay within the EU-wide regulations for EMC during the design phase and avoids very expensive re-designs, reduces development time and accelerates your time-to-market. In summary, today’s new freebies, amassing as much as £400*+ of savings on some DSA models via the authorised online store www.RIGOL-uk.co.uk, include EMI Filter & Quasi Peak Detector and the integrated Advanced Measurement Kit. For greatest savings ask Telonic Instruments Ltd. about model DSA1030A-TG, making it the ideal choice for pre compliance tests up to 3GHz, of boards, devices and components in all kinds of UK development and production environments.
Doug Lovell Telonic Ltd’s sales director adds “RIGOL’s unique approach has already proven advantageous to our customers in countless RF applications…now our new offers bring even better price-performance for our CE/EMC conscious UK customers. With DSA815 if customers save just one trip to the Compliance Lab, it’s already more than paid for itself.” Check out our DSA815-TG at our Telonic VIDEO-channel here.
