Near Field Sniffer Probes AZ530 (Optional)

Near Field Sniffer Probes AZ530 The AZ530
is the ideal toolkit for the investigation of RF
electromagnetic fields. Lt is indispensable of
EMI pre-compliance testing during product
development, prior to third party testing. The
set includes 3 hand-held probes with a built-in
pre-amplifier covering the frequency range
from 100KHz to over 1000MHz.
The probes-ove magnetic field probe, one
electric field probe, and one high impedance

Probe are all matched to the 50 inputs of
Spectrum analyzers or RF-receivers. The
power can be supplied either from batteries,
Ni-Cads or through a power cord directly
connected to an AT6010/AT6011 series
spectrum analyzer.
Signal feed via a 1.5m BNC-cable. When used
in connection with a spectrum analyzer or
measuring receiver, the probes cable used to
locate and qualify EMI sources, as well as
evaluate EMC problems at the breadboard and
prototype level. They enable the user to
evaluate radiated fields and perform shield
effectiveness comparisons. Mechanical
screening performance and immunity tests on
cables and components are easily performed.

The H-Field Near-Field probe

The H-Field probe provides a voltage to the
connected measurement system which is
proportional to
the magnetic radio
frequency (RF) field
strength existing at the
probe location, With this
probe, circuit therefore sources may be
localized in close proximity of each other. The
H-Field will decrease as the cube of the
distance from the source, A doubling of the
distance will reduce the H-field by a factor of

3

eight (H=1/d ). where d is the distance.
In the actual use of the H-field sensor one
observes therefore a rapid increase of the
probe's output voltage as the interference
source is approached. While investigating a
circuit board, the sources are immediately
obvious. It is easily noticed which component
(i.e.IC) causes interference and which does not.
in addition. by use of a spectrum analyzer the
maximum amplitude as a function of
frequency is easily identified. Therefore, one
can eliminate early in the development
components which are not suitable for EMC
purposes. The effectiveness of
countermeasures can be judged easily. One can
investigate shields for eaking areas and
cables or wires for conducted interference.

AZ530-M

The High-Impedance probe

The high-impedance probe (Hi-Z) permits the
determination
of the radio
frequency
interference (RFI) on
individual contacts or
printed circuit traces. It is a direct-contact
probe. The probe is of very high impedance

(near the insulation resistance of the printed
circuit material) and is loading the test point

with only 2pF (80 at 1GHz). Thereby one

AZ530-H

AZ530-E

can measure directly in a circuit without
significantly influencing the relationships in
the circuit with the probe. One can, for
example, measure the quantitative
effectiveness of filters or other or other
blocking measures. Individual pins of ICs can
be identified. With this Hi-Z probe individual
test points of a circuit can be connected to the
50W impedance of spectrum analyzer.

The E-field monopole probe has the highest
sensitivity
of the three
probes. It is
sensitive enough
to be used as an
antenna for radio or TV reception. With this
probe the entire radiation from a circuit or an
equipment can be measured.
It is used, for example, for example, to
determine the effectiveness of shielding
measures. With this probe, the entire
effectiveness of filters can be measured by
measuring the RFI which is conducted along
cables that leave the equipment and may
influence the total radiation.
In addition, the E-field probe may be used to
perform relative measurements for
certification tests. This makes it possible to
apply remedial suppression measures so that
any re-qualification results will be positive. In
addition, pre-testing for certification tests may
be performed so that no surprises are
encountered during the certification tests.

The E-Field Monopole Probe

Frequency Expander AT5000F Series (Optional)

Since the prices of 3GHz spectrum analyzers
are all above several ten thousands RMB, it is
not affordable for most radio fans, service men
and even medium or small sized enterprises.
Meantime, there are many signals above 1000

MHz in communication field, such as LO
(local oscillator) signals of mobile phone
usually between 1GHz to 2GHz, some are
exceed 2GHz, and 1800MHz, 2400MHz or
more. Based on above situations, favorable
frequency expanders have been developed
by Shenzhen ATTEN Electronics Co., Ltd.

AT5000F1 operating accompany with
AT6010 series spectrum analyzer of 1000
MHz, frequency can be expanded to 1050
Mhz to 2050MHz. Example: connect
AT5000F1 to AT6010 spectrum analyzer, if
a 800MHz signal display in spectrum
analyzer, then the tested signal should be
added 100MHz, so the frequency of tested
signal must be 1800MHz.
Frequency of AT5000F2 can be expanded to
2050MHz to 3050MHz, the tested frequency
is the display frequency add 2000MHz.
Frequency of AT5000F3 can be expanded to
3050MHz to 4050MHz, the tested frequency
is the display frequency add 3000MHz.

AT808 GSM Servicing RF Signal Generator (Optional)

AT808 Mobile Phone Signal Generator analogs
therefore signals of receiving frequency range
for mobile phones. The unit is mainly used in
maintaining failures of mobile receiver, it is
regarded as the spectrum analyzers best partner.

Since the phone's receiving signals transmit by
base station are instability, normally between

-70dBm to 90dBm, and maybe weaker in some
place or even no signal. In order to make it
easier to test and analyze the RF circuit (esp.
the IF signal) with spectrum analyzer, AT808
RF Signal Generator for mobile phones has
been researched by ATTEN, its frequency as
well as the output amplitude can be
quantitatively adjusted. Therefore, receiving or
no receiving problems can be examined by

Functions

using accompany with AT6010 spectrum
analyzer.
AT808 RF Signal Generator combines with
spectrum analyzer is very conveniently to
repair the receiver parts of mobile phone, if
you have some knowledge with the phone's
circuit, all failures of mobile phone can be
soon repaired by both RF signal generator and
spectrum analyzer.

Features

Output adjustable RF signal between 935MHz
to 960MHz, it can be set 3 fixed frequency
output by using the buttons. They are 945MHz
of Channel 50, 950MHz of Channel 75, 955
MHz of Channel 100. AT808 apply advanced
imported SMD to insure its high quality and
high reliability.
The signal amplitude range of the RF Signal
Generator is between -75 to -10dBm, it can be
set different amplitude of signal output by
pressing the attenuation buttons. In testing
phones without signal receiving, usually set
the output of signal generator to about -20dBm

(do not press down any attenuation button,
and the output amplitude of the unit is -20dBm).

In test the phones weak in receiving, usually
set the output of signal generator to about -70
dBm ( press three attenuation buttons: 20dB,

20dB and 10dB, and the output amplitude of
the unit is -70dBm ).

For Motorola and Nokia, can be set in the
testing status, set the signal of receiver to
Channel 75 (950MHz), select the Channel 75
of the unit. That is to make the phone's

operating channel matches with the channel
of AT808 generator, so that the signal of the
generator can enter into the phone.

For other phones, the RF signal can be set in
any channel, and required to use with spectrum
analyzer.
When connect mobile phone to RF signal
generator, just need to connect to the phone's
antenna tip via RF cable.
