Rohde & Schwarz ESW26 EMI Test Receiver, 1Hz to 26.5GHz

The Rohde & Schwarz ESW26 is a precision EMI test receiver designed for electromagnetic compatibility compliance measurements from 1 Hz to 26.5 GHz. This instrument combines exceptional dynamic range, high sensitivity, and low noise figure to detect weak EMI signals amid strong interference. The ESW26 executes automated compliance testing to CISPR, FCC, and MIL-STD standards while delivering real-time spectrum analysis, time domain analysis, and interference identification. Its selectable resolution bandwidth (1 Hz to 1 MHz) and video bandwidth (1 Hz to 10 MHz) enable precise signal characterization across demanding industrial and aerospace applications.
