PMM 9010F
Applications
Measurement of conducted and radiated emissions of EUT in full compliance to CISPR, IEC-EN standards.
Analyzing the emissions in short time is particularly suitable for EUT with short operation cycles, e.g. electric tools, food machin-
ery and in general all appliances with electric motors subjected to over-heating if run for too long time.
Fast and reliable tests provide the designer of an immediate feedback in the try-and-test process, an effective contribution to
reduce the product time-to-market.
Description
The new EMI Receiver PMM 9010F is based on very advanced analog to digital conversion and data processing technology that
applies the FFT frequency spectrum analysis in full compliance with all the tests required by the standard CISPR 16-1-1.
Same modular construction, compact size and low power consumption of the other renowned models in PMM’s Digital Receiv-
ers family: PMM 9010, 9010/03P, 9010/30P.
Measurement speed
CISPR detectors as the Q-Peak, C-RMS and C-AVG detectors are characterized by a long settling time: measurements must be
performed with a long observation time (hold time) of 1 - 2 seconds for each frequency step; setting hold times lower than 1s
can reduce the test time but at the cost of possible severe errors and under-estimation of the levels.
PMM 9010F overcomes this limitation by scanning the entire spectrum in less than 25 seconds with hold time of 1 second and
for all detectors, instead of nearly 5 hours (*).
Such methods for reducing the test time e.g. pre-testing, Smart Detectors and Frequency Tables are no more needed.
Noise and sensitivity
PMM 9010F’s very advanced design provides outstanding performances not only in terms of measurement speed, but also in
terms of noise floor level.
In a typical conducted emissions test configuration:
-
Hold time: 1 s
-
Detector: QP
-
Preselector: ON - Preamplifier OFF
the noise floor is less than -7 dBµV in the band A (9 – 150 kHz) and 5 dBµV in the band B (0,15 – 30 MHz), corresponding
to less than -137 and -141 dBm/Hz respectively.
When a higher sensitivity is required, the internal preamplifier reduces the noise floor to less than -24 dBµV in band A, and -7
dBµV in band B, corresponding to less than -154 dBm/Hz in both cases.
Analyzer mode
The Analyzer mode is particularly useful in EUT development, and is even faster: it features real-time spectrum analysis over a
full span of 30 MHz (RBW 300 kHz) or 1,84 MHz (RBW 9 kHz CISPR).
PMM Emission Suite (PES)
Easy, user-friendly, always updated PC software supplied with the PMM 9010F for real-time measurements, save, recall and edit
settings, factors, limits, scans etc. Specific functions automatize the measurements. Reporting and data import-export included.
Ancillaries
PMM 9010F together with the PES drives all the PMM ancillaries like LISN and RF switches.
Implementations and upgrading
Like all the models of the family, the PMM 9010F can be expanded in frequency - up to 18 GHz - and added of the options very
easily and safely by the user itself. Details provided in the last page.
Service
Designed having in mind the EMC real world, PMM receivers are very difficult to damage. Should the case, immediate and ef-
fective support is provided by the International Sales Network.
Calibration
Almost all of the receiver is calibration-free, lifetime. The internal reference provides for auto-calibrating RF front-end - attenua-
tors, preselector, preamplifier - and A/D conversion. Accredited calibration certificate available (option).
