Introducing the RadiLink® RF Optical Link System, the solution to the difficulties encountered during automotive measurements according to CISPR 25. This state-of-the-art technology uses a battery-powered analog fiber optic connection between the antenna and EMI receiver, allowing for measurements to be performed completely galvanically isolated, eliminating any potential measurement errors.

The RadiLink® RF Optical Link System is composed of two parts, the RadiLink model RLK3016C RX plug-in card, positioned in the control room near the EMI receiver, and the RadiLink model RLK3086R 8-channel remote unit, placed in the vehicle. An integrated RF-switch allows for automatic selection of up to 8 different measurement antennas in the car with a single RadiLink unit.

In addition, the RadiLink® can configure each RF input to deliver phantom power supply to feed active antennas. The phantom supply power is delivered by the replaceable battery pack of the RadiLink®, and the output voltage can be software configured between 5V and 12VDC for each channel independently. Each channel can deliver up to 200mA supply current, covering virtually any need. Alternatively, the phantom supply for each channel can also be connected externally.

The RadiLink® RF Optical Link System offers a broad dynamic range to measure strong RF signals, with an unprecedented 170 dB dynamic range. The RadiLink®’s low noise figure combines with high dynamic range to enhance measurement receiver sensitivity, resulting in accurate and precise signal detection.

The RadiLink® RF Optical Link System is essential in automotive measurements with frequent exposure to various interference sources. It provides reliable and accurate measurement solutions, significantly improving the efficiency and quality of automotive EMI testing. Engineers and technicians rely on RadiLink® as a crucial tool for precise measurement and analysis of electromagnetic interference in vehicles.
