Receiving Loop Antenna for Mil-std 461 RS101 Test
The AL-RS101-RX is a receiving loop antenna used during RS101 test level calibration to measure the magnetic field intensity generated by the AL-RS101-TX transmit loop. Its construction consists of a 51-turn, electrostatically shielded coil of 7-strand, 41 gauge Litz wire. The antenna output port is fitted with a female BNC connector.
The RS101 Loop Antenna Set is specifically designed for tests according to MIL-STD-461, RS101, radiated susceptiblity, magnetic field. During this test, the Equipment Under Test (EUT) is exposed to magnetic fields of a specified magnitude to ensure that it does not exhibit any malfunction, degradation of performance, or deviation from specified indications.
Prior to the test, the field generated is calibrated by measuring the field with the AL-RS101-RX antenna, which is aligned coaxially with the AL-RS101-TX transmit loop with a separation distance of 5 cm. The RF current delivered to the transmit loop is monitored and then recorded when the required field is achieved at each test frequency.
