Enhanced EMI test receiver with real-time gapless 1GHz measurement bandwidth

Keysight Technologies, Inc. has announced a major enhancement to its PXE EMI Receiver, extending the wideband Time Domain Scan (TDS) with a real-time, gapless measurement capability up to 1GHz measurement bandwidth. The new PXE Receiver enables engineers to measure frequencies ranging from 30MHz to 1GHz in a single step, compared to the previous three-step process. This advancement supplies high sensitivity, facilitates faster diagnostics, and greatly accelerates EMC and certification workflows.

As product development cycles and the volume of new product introductions increase, EMC certification testing is rapidly becoming a bottleneck for manufacturers. Engineers are increasingly challenged by the demand to identify and resolve intermittent EMI issues stemming from complex electronic designs. The company's new receiver directly addresses these challenges by dramatically enhancing test throughput, minimising debugging time, and optimising EMC chamber efficiency.

Yoshimichi Imaizumi, senior vice president of TOYO Corporation, said: "As a long-standing partner of Keysight, Toyo is proud to offer a comprehensive EMI test solution that combines the advanced capabilities of the Keysight PXE EMI Receiver with our proprietary EPX software. Together, these technologies provide a seamless, high-performance solution that enhances test automation, accelerates troubleshooting, and ensures compliance with the latest standards."

Jason Kary, senior vice president and president of Keysight's Electronic Industrial Solutions Group, said: "With the advanced PXE EMI Receiver, our customers, whether independent compliance test labs or in-house EMC teams, can now complete CISPR-compliant measurements with greater speed, confidence, and efficiency. By delivering high sensitivity, superior dynamic range, and gapless real-time monitoring, we're empowering engineers to resolve EMI issues faster and shorten development cycles, ultimately reducing time-to-market and cost of compliance."
