Introduction
About Probe Operation
For information on reducing measurement uncertainties and selecting
the best field probe for your application see the white paper Practical
Considerations for Radiated Immunities Measurement using
ETS-Lindgren EMC Field Probes
. This document is located on the
ETS-Lindgren website at
For complete information on setting up and operating the field monitor,
software, and other devices available for the laser and
battery-operated field probes, please see the documentation provided
with those products.
Field probes are nominally rated for operation within a specific
frequency range, but may also respond to signals above and below
those frequencies. A probe may exhibit response to frequencies below
the lower end of the range, and may also respond to frequencies
above the upper end of the range, though not consistently or
predictably.
Keep all conductive objects away from laser-powered and
battery-operated probes. Conductive objects in the proximity of the
probe can distort the near field and compromise measurement
accuracy. If the application requires measurements from a fixed
position, always mount the probe on a non-metallic platform, using
non-metallic screws.
