Rohde & Schwarz (R&S), a gold partner for EMC Europe 2025, will present a complete portfolio of solutions for EMC and field strength testing

EMC experts from the company will share their knowledge and insights during technical sessions with a focus on areas like reverberation testing, EMC challenges in power electronics, and the design of modular dual-ridged horn antennas for EMC applications.

THE IEEE EMC Europe 2025 symposium will be held at Sorbonne Université, Paris, from September 1 to 5. R&S, located at booth 16, will present standalone instruments, software and systems designed to meet a wide range of industry standards. The solutions support commercial, automotive, military, and aerospace standards, as well as ETSI and FCC.

EMC Compliance testing up to 44GHz 

For EMC compliance testing with CISPR standards, R&S shares the new R&S HF1444G14 high-gain EMI microwave antenna covering 14.9 to 44GHz. With just one measurement, it can fully illuminate the Equipment Under Test (EUT), and when paired with the R&S ESW EMI test receiver, it allows complete compliance testing up to 44GHz.

Unique solutions for emissions testing 

The new R&S EPL1007 EMI test receiver has frequency ranges up to 7.125GHz and can be used for EMI pre-compliance testing or become a CISPR 16-1-1 compliant receiver, suitable for conducted and radiated measurements.

The device is portable and can be operated using batteries, so that it can be used in a wide range of environments and for various applications, some of which will be demonstrated at the show.

R&S ESW, an EMI test receiver, will also be on display. It has an FFT bandwidth of up to 970MHz, enabling fast and reliable measurements of CISPR frequency bands C and D in one sweep.

Automation solutions

The R&S Elektra test software automates EMC testing by controlling the entire system to measure emissions (EMI) and immunity (EMS) or EUT. It can simplify test configuration, accelerate test execution and generate comprehensive test reports, providing reliable and repeatable measurement results.

The R&S Elektra EMC software will have its new features demonstrated at the show, including the latest capabilities for immunity testing in reverberation chambers.

High-power broadband amplifiers 

The R&S broadband amplifier family BBA150, combined with the new generation BBA300 family, can cover frequency ranges from 4kHz to 18GHz for power classes up to 13kW.

The compact and modular design, with flexibility in frequency and power class upgrades, makes them an ideal choice for EMS applications in various industries such as automotive, defence, aerospace, and wireless communication.

The new BBA300-CDE/FG, a dual-band amplifier from 380MHz to 18GHz in a 4 HU desktop model, is designed to meet the market’s increasing demands for high-power ultrawideband RF/microwave component set-ups, requiring, amongst others, superior performance across complex modulation schemes.

EMI debugging 

The R&S oscilloscopes and probing solutions will show demonstrations on EMI debugging. The MXO 5 oscilloscope series has an update rate of over 4.5 million wfms/s and more than 45k FFT/s for spectrum analysis. They also come with up to eight channels in frequency ranges from 100MHz to 2GHz.

In combination with the isolated Probing System R&S RT-ZISO, users can debug digital and power electronic devices quickly. The range of services extends to wideband radar testing, incorporating Pulse Description Word (PDW) streaming, real-time analysis, and pulse stability measurements on radar components.

R&S will demonstrate the R&S FSWT Tempest measuring receiver, designed to analyse unintended electromagnetic emissions and evaluate associated security vulnerabilities. A technical session on the first day of the symposium is set to feature a presentation of this receiver.

R&S is presenting four technical sessions at the conference:

• Sept 1st: “FFT-based TEMPEST receiver for compromising emanations measurements”

• Sept 4th: “Modular Dual-Ridged Horn Antenna Design for EMC Testing in 14.9 to 44 GHz Range” 

• Sept 5th: “EMC Standard Testing in Reverberation Chambers” 

• Sept 5th: “Electromagnetic Compatibility Validation on Wide Band Gap Power Electronic Devices”
