The LSProbe 1.2 Variant E Field Probe is a high-speed, high-accuracy, and high-dynamic range electric-Field probe.
- Its standard frequency range of 10 kHz – 8.2 GHz. 1,000 V/m
- Best-in-class compensation of linearity, frequency, and temperature guarantees accurate measurements from less than 0.1 to at least 1,000 V/m.
- A dynamic range of 100 dB is achieved for many frequencies, enabling Field measurements at more than 10,000 V/m.
- Customized high Field-strength „X“-variants, supporting up to 30,000 V/m and a damage level of 100,000 V/m, are available upon request.
High Intensity Bar Lights with a large degree of available customization:
- 16 available wavelengths
- Expandable in 6″ (150mm) increments up to 84″ (2.13m)
- Optional heat sink for higher performance and/or high ambient temperatures
- Optional light conditioning including polarization and diffusion
- Optional IP65 rated sealing for washdown environments
- – 3 lens options for narrow, medium and wide beam spreads
With the powerful modular LUMIMAX® LED Bar Lights test areas can be uniformly illuminated even from distances of more than 1 meter. The Bar Lights with integrated controller technology are available in different configurations for incident and backlight applications.
The modular bar lights expand the portfolio and include now bar lights of up to 4 meters for even larger test areas. Thanks to the modular concept, specific sizes can be realized quickly and without additional development costs. You can select standard versions using our product configurator. Please contact our sales team for special enquiries about customised lengths.
