Teseq distributes PMM 9010 receiver

Teseq is the exclusive North American distributor for PMM, a brand of Narda Safety Test Solutions srl, which manufactures the compact, modular PMM 9010 receiver.

The new PMM 9010 uses analogue-to-digital conversion and powerful digital-signal processing to prevent critical parts from aging, as this could degrade measurement accuracy.

The CISPR detectors, IF and RBW filters are all stable and feature lifetime calibration-free operation.

The receiver uses the Smart Detector function to provide fast scanning using only the peak detector.

As peaks that exceed the preset thresholds are found, they are immediately measured with the slower detectors before stepping to the next frequency, saving considerable time when compared with rescanning, especially for EUT (equipment under test) that is only operated for short periods of time, such as appliances and electric tools.

Fully compliant with the latest CISPR 16-1-1 standards - including the new RMS-AVG (root mean square-average) detector, APD (amplitude probability distribution) for testing above 1GHz as well as peak, average and quasi-peak modes - the new PMM 9010 is ideal for use in small labs as well as commercial test labs for any application that requires fast, reliable compliant measurements, including military and automotive.

The compact receiver weighs only 9lbs (4.082kg) and is useful in stand-alone systems and integrated as part of larger systems for manual, semiautomatic and fully automatic testing requirements.

Rechargeable internal batteries also provide enhanced portability for use in field-testing applications where power sources are scarce.

A fully compliant CISPR 14-1 click-meter option automatically evaluates the click rate N, applies the use of exceptions, if applicable, and provides click measurement using the upper quartile method with a full report that includes all mandatory data.

The PMM 9010 shows all click details and mandatory reporting parameters in real-time, with reports generated via the included PC software application.

The PMM 9010's Smart Measure feature, developed exclusively by Narda, speeds up the click test.

The 9010 can be configured as a single or four-channel click meter.

Most key components, including the A/D converter and RF signal generator, can be easily swapped in the field with factory-calibrated replacement modules.

The system firmware is easily field-upgraded, allowing the addition of new measurement features such as detectors, MIL-461 RBW filters or required measurement methods to maintain standards compliance.

The RF front-end is self-calibrated by a high-stability internal RF signal generator.

Providing 60 to 90dBuV in 0.1dB steps, the signal generator can work in tracking mode up to a frequency of 50MHz, enabling the PMM 9010 to be used as a scalar network analyser for characterising components, antennas and filters.

For debugging applications, the PMM 9010 can also perform spectrum-analyser functions with a high scan-speed of less than 100ms for full-span 9kHz to 30MHz at an IF resolution of 300kHz.
