LAPLACELL (TEST CELLS)
LaplaCells provide a facility for the rapid and efficient testing of the EMC compliance of products. These cells offer a calibrated and screened environment in which radiated emissions can be measured and immunity to RF radiation can be tested. They exceed the requirements of IEC61000-4-20, thus affording compliant testing to IEC61000-4-3 and pre-compliance testing for radiated emission testing.
The Cells are a modified form of GTEM cell, using a balanced dual septum design which maximizes EUT volume for a given external size of cell, and dramatically improves field linearity. The EUT volume is fully lined in structural polycarbonate capable of supporting heavy products and access is via a large, full height door at the end of the cell. Adjacent to the door is the I/O filter compartment which can be customized to suit the users requirements. USB, RS232, Parallel, Ethernet, co-ax and other product specific filters can be added at time of ordering.

Emissions Problem |
Solution |
Strong ambient signals |
The cell provides an ambient-free volume due to total screening |
Test site distortion |
The cell is fully correlated and traceable to 3m OATS |
Lack of ground plane and height scanning |
Not required! |
Lack of space |
LaplaceCells are very compact |
Immunity Problem |
Solution |
Expensive ancillaries |
LaplaCells include field sensors as standard |
Power amplifier requirements |
very efficient design so that RF power requirements are minimal. |
Leakage of high power RF |
Fully screened so RF energy is contained |
Field uniformity |
LaplaCell concept produces better uniformity the GTEM. |

Features
LaplaCells are specifically intended for use by manufacturers so that they can test their own products efficiently .
The LaplaCell design is an advance on the well known GTEM concept. However, the use of a dual septum provides:
· better field uniformity compact external size balanced septum fed with impedance conversion network to better match OATS conditions
· Built-in field sensor
· Camera and lighting options
