Conducted Emissions

With a few key pieces of equipment and a defined procedure, even a novice can quickly set up and perform basic conducted emissions measurements.

Conducted emissions testing, which measures unwanted electrical signals transmitted through cables, is considered a relatively straightforward process compared to other types of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing.

RADIATED EMISSIONS

The EMC Shop assists with radiated emissions testing by providing necessary test equipment and guidance. They offer rental and purchasing options for items like RF tents, antennas, and spectrum analyzers, enabling customers to conduct pre-compliance testing in-house. By performing this testing during the design process, potential issues can be identified and rectified before formal compliance testing. 

RADIATED IMMUNITY

Radiated immunity testing, crucial for ensuring electronic devices function correctly in electromagnetic environments, is becoming increasingly automated. Dedicated test software, now automates control of signal generators, power amplifiers, and field probes, ensuring precise application and measurement of the electromagnetic fields required by standards like IEC 61000-4-3. This automation streamlines the testing process, enabling more accurate and repeatable results.

Conducted immunity testing, while a critical step for device robustness against electromagnetic interference, is greatly simplified by modern test equipment. User-friendly features like integrated components for generating and applying disturbances, alongside intuitive software for automation and data analysis, streamline the entire process. This ease of use allows technicians to efficiently set up tests and focus on interpreting results. Nevertheless, even with highly user-friendly equipment, it's essential to remember that safety protocols are paramount to prevent any potential hazards and ensure accurate testing outcomes.
