E-Field Probe calibration

Ensure traceability to international standards!

The E-field probe is the reference in any radiated immunity test system. To ensure that it measures correctly and you are testing at the right field level the E-field probe has to be calibrated and achieve traceability to international standards. Kiwa Dare can offer this service!

Calibration range

Kiwa Dare is ISO/IEC 17025 accredited to calibrate E-field probes in a maximum frequency range from 100 kHz to 40 GHz. The standard calibration level is 20 V/m but optionally E-field probes can be calibrated up to 200 V/m (100 kHz up to 200 MHz) and 100 V/m (200 MHz up to 40 GHz).

Calibration agreement

For our complete range of RadiSense® LASER powered E-field probes we can offer a calibration agreement that covers periodical calibration based on our above mentioned calibration method and offers additional preventive maintenance services, among cleaning and polishing of the fiber optic cables and updating of internal firmware versions. In case a calibration agreement is ordered for 2 years we offer FREE preventive maintenance and 5% discount on our calibration price. For a three years agreement we even offer 10% discount on our calibration price.

IEC 61000-4-3 Amendment 1 calibration method

For ISO/IEC tropic (X-Y-Z) E-field probes, the frequency response will be calibrated in the total frequency range of the E-field probe in all three probe orientations. This will result into individual correction factors for each probe axis, X-Y-Z. Next to this the isotropy will be calibrated at three different frequencies through the band of the E-field probe where the probe will be changed to all three orientations. Finally the linearity will be calibrated at one single frequency, where the field level will be measured over a range of -6 dB to + 6 dB from the reference level. All calibration data is included in a calibration certificate and will be provided in electronic (Excel®) format as well.
