Abstract
Systems and methods provide quick and accurate automated measurement of electromagnetic radiation from a device. A rotary drive rotates an electronic equipment unit and rotation of the equipment is periodically stopped during which time a reception element is traversed across a range of motion that is parallel to an axis of rotation of the electronic equipment. The electromagnetic radiation is evaluated over the range of motion for the reception element at each of a plurality of fixed rotational locations for the electronic equipment.
Claims6
An electromagnetic radiation measuring apparatus for measuring an electromagnetic radiation from electronic equipment comprising:
- an electromagnetic radiation reception element;
- drive means for driving said reception element in a direction that is parallel to an axis of rotation of the electronic equipment;
- rotary drive means for driving said electronic equipment around said axis of rotation;
- field intensity measuring means for measuring a field intensity of electromagnetic radiation received from said reception element over a range of frequencies;
- data analysis means for analyzing field intensity data;
- and
- measurement control means for rotating said rotary drive means through a specified angle and suspending revolution of the rotary drive a plurality of times for each of a plurality of angles, and moving said reception element in a direction that is parallel to an axis of rotation of the electronic equipment while also measuring the electromagnetic radiation across a range of travel of the reception element in the direction parallel to the axis of rotation during each period when the motion of the rotary drive is suspended.
An electromagnetic radiation measuring method for measuring the electromagnetic radiation from electronic equipment, said electromagnetic radiation measuring method comprising the steps of:
- rotating said electronic equipment and periodically stopping the rotation at a plurality of predetermined angles;
- detecting said electromagnetic radiation across a range of motion of a reception element that is parallel to an axis of rotation of the electronic equipment;
- and
- calculating from a detection signal over a frequency spectrum a maximum field intensity for each suspension of revolution.
