The SAC-10 Plus Triton Class for EMC testing is a revolution in its class. The benefits of its triple test axes allow our customers to measure all required EMI/EMS procedures without the need to modify the test environment or the test setup. This also includes the test equipment and instruments that can remain connected in the chamber. The antenna and absorber area for each procedure specifically moves to the test scenario either in manual, semi-automatized or fully automatized mode controlled by Frankonia software. Thus, the quality of EMC testing remains at a constantly high level, the testing time decreases, and malfunction and damage is almost impossible. The frequency range of the all-new SAC-10 Plus is from 30 MHz to 18 GHz (40 GHz as option) and it offers outstanding performance for NSA, SVSWR and FU.
