The Revolutionary EMC Immunity Test Solution
Compact · Efficient · Scalable
The patented RadiField® Triple A is a revolutionary new product causing a
paradigm shift in the world of EMC immunity testing. The RadiField® system
involves a combination of high level integration and a lossless field combining
technique, making several discrete components like combiners, couplers, power
meters and cabling superfluous.
Conventional testing
Conventional immunity testing systems involve a broadband amplifier, including
inefficient internal combiner, directional coupler, two RF power meters and
interconnecting cables. The efficiency of such setup is poor due to power loss in
the combiners and both the internal and external cabling.
Eliminate loss
By removing all components that cause the power loss and integrating all the
other components into one single instrument all these unwanted power losses are
eliminated. The low power RF carrier signal is transmitted in a lossless fashion
over the standard coaxial cable.
Active Antenna Array
At the same time the RadiField® makes use of the field combining technology of
an Active Antenna Array. Integrated amplifiers are directly connected to the same
number of integrated antennas making a discrete inefficient combiner
superfluous. Instead of combining power the RadiField® combines field.
Revolutionary and yet Full Compliant Design
Although the approach is revolutionary it is still completely full compliant with
the international EMC immunity standards. These standards merely prescribe
aspects like frequency, field strength and homogeneity which is exactly where the
RadiField® is adhering to. The integrated system is also less error prone.
Low Cost of Ownership
The new RadiField® Triple A is not only cost effective due to its much lower
price but also due to its easy installation, low power consumption, less
mechanical wear and tear of cables and connectors and even more important,
lower calibration cost. All these aspects result in a substantially lower cost of
ownership of this immunity system.

RadiCentre Integration
The RadiField® Triple A is easily integrated with a modular RadiCentre® EMC
test system. The mainframe contains the RadiSupply® which powers the
RadiField® over the standard coaxial cable running from the RadiCentre® to the
RadiField®. This same cable is used to drive the carrier signal and to provide
bidirectional communication with the RadiField® unit. The RF signal may be
generated either by an external RF signal generator or by an integrated RadiGen®
EMC signal generator.
Broad Range
The RadiField® Triple A® approach covers frequencies ranging from 80 MHz up
to 18 GHz, reaching homogeneous fields up to 600 V/m at 3 meter distance!
Another advantage of the technology used in the RadiField® is the opportunity to
upgrade your system to higher field levels.
From now on…. Forget about Power, it’s all about Field!
