Abstract :
The use of the computer to obtain an Emission Measurement Automatic System (EMAS) is described. Major advantages are increased measurement accuracy and reduction of testing time and effort. Frequency accuracy better than 0.1 percent and amplitude accuracy (assuming an ideal calibrator) better than 0.5 dB have been demonstrated. The computer is used both for controlling the test execution and for off-line test results processing.
