The objective of the EMF radiation tests discussed here is to define the amplitude of current Ic and Voltage Vc induced by the Device Under Test (DUT) onto a kind of phantom simulating what would happen if a human being was there.
The antenna VDH-01 is a Van der Hoofden test-head designed to meet the specification of the IEC 62493 standard for the EMF assessment of lighting products.
the VDH-01 is a conductive sphere of 210mm diameter which simulates a man’s head, a connecting wire to simulate the neck and a network to both protect the receiver and match the impedance into 50 Ohm.
The VDH-01 is suited to perform measurements on induced currents in the frequency range from 20 kHz to 10 MHz.
Designed according to criteria of cheaply and reliability it can be used together with PMM EMI receivers like the 9010 or any other suited RF receiver.
