Rohde and Schwarz ESPC10 EMI Test Receiver, 9 kHz to 1 GHz

The Rohde & Schwarz ESPC10 is an EMC precertification test receiver designed for emission testing throughout product development and production stages. Built on full-compliance receiver architecture, it delivers precompliance EMI measurement capabilities that reduce risk and accelerate time-to-market before full compliance testing and CE marking. The instrument supports all major commercial EMI standards including CISPR, EN, ETS, FCC, ANSI C63.4, VCCI, and VDE.
