OPERATING ENVIRONMENT
Before using the T3SA3000-NFP Probe kit, ensure that its operating environment will
be maintained within these parameters:
Temperature:5 to 40
o
C
Humidity:< 80% RH (non-condensing)
SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
CAUTION
To avoid personal injury or damage to the probes or any equipment connected to it,
review and comply with the following safety precautions.
•Use only as intended. The T3SA3000-NFP Probe kit is intended to be used
only with the compatible LeCroy instruments. Use of the probe kit and/or the
equipment it is connected to in a manner other than specied may impair the
protection mechanisms.
•Connect and disconnect properly. Avoid damage to cables through
excessive bending.
•Do not use in wet/damp or explosive atmospheres.
•For indoor use only. The test xture is intended for indoor use and should
be operated in a clean, dry, environment.
•Do not operate with suspected failures.
Do not use the product if any part is damaged.All maintenance should
be referred to qualied service personnel.
•Keep product surfaces clean and dry
Product Description
The T3SA3000-NFP probe set comprises of a set of four magnetic eld probes for
precompliance tests of printed circuit boards and other devices including
components, connectors, wiring, power supplies, etc.
The T3SA3000-NFP probe set is used to measure the magnetic elds in the area of
the device to determine the source and level of disturbance emissions.
The passive near eld probes are connected to the 50 Ohm input of a spectrum
analyser such as the Teledyne Test Tools T3SA3200 or T3SA3100, or to the input of
a high sensitivity oscilloscope such as the Teledyne LeCroy high denition 12 bit
HDO and WavePro HD families, or to a regular oscilloscope such as the Teledyne
Test Tools T3DSO range. The probes can also be used with other brands of spectrum
analyser or oscilloscope.
The probes can then make comparative measurements of magnetic elds and
disturbance currents in the frequency range from 30 MHz to 3 GHz.

Application
The probes are used to detect magnetic eld intensity and detect disturbance
emissions sources.
Spectrum Analyser
or Oscilloscope
DUT
T3SA3000-NFP
Near Field Probe
There are two methods of connecting the probes to the spectrum analyser or
oscilloscope, either directly or via a wideband preamplier (not supplied) as shown
above. If a wideband preamplier is used then ensure that the model chosen covers
the 30 MHz to 3 GHz bandwidth.
If the probes are used without a wideband preamplier, then set the spectrum
analyser input attenuation to 0dB and turn on the internal preamplier, if available on
your spectrum analyzer. Furthermore you can increase the dynamic range and
sensitivity by reducing frequency span, resolution bandwidth and video bandwidth.
If the probes are used with an oscilloscope then adjust the oscilloscopes’ input
sensitivity to give a suitable waveform amplitude on the oscilloscope display.
Note that if the spectrum analyser or oscilloscope does not cover the entire 3 GHz
bandwidth then the results will be limited by the bandwidth limit of the spectrum
analyser or oscilloscope.

Model Description Characteristics
The T3SA3000-NFP-1 can be used
at a distance of up to 10 cm from the
DUT. The probe detects the spatial
distribution of HF magnetic elds in
devices and assemblies and allows
the user to draw conclusions with
regard to disturbance emissions.
Frequency Range: 30 MHz to 3 GHz.
The T3SA3000-NFP-2 can be used
at a distance of up to 3 cm from the
DUT. Interference sources can be
localised by detecting the distribution
and orientation of the eld, therefore
enabling a more precise interference
source measurement and location.
Frequency Range: 30 MHz to 3 GHz.
The T3SA3000-NFP-3 detects the
current which generates the eld via
the magnetic eld circulating around
a single conductor or multiple
conductors. It is used for wide
conductor runs. Resolution is
approximately 5 mm. Frequency
Range: 30 MHz to 3 GHz.
The T3SA3000-NFP-4 is designed
for the detection of magnetic elds
which are emitted vertically from the
surface of the DUT and is ideal for
investigating current loops. The
probe can measure in conned
board areas Resolution is
approximately 3 mm. Frequency
Range: 30 MHz to 3 GHz.

The T3SA3000-NFP kit comprises of:
1. Four Near Field Probes with SMB output connectors.
2. An SMB to SMA connecting cable.
3. An SMA to N Type adaptor.

If the probes are to be used with an oscilloscope then a SMA to BNC adaptor may be
required (not supplied) since most oscilloscopes below 4 GHz use BNC input
connectors.
