What is an EMI Receiver
An EMI receiver is an electronic device used to measure electromagnetic interference (EMI) in a system. It captures and detects unwanted electromagnetic signals, typically in the radio frequency (RF) spectrum, and displays the intensity and frequency of the interference. The receiver typically has sensors or probes that detect the electromagnetic field, allowing for analysis of the emitted or received noise levels.
