 Rohde & Schwarz USA (R&S USA) is offering
a step-by-step guide on
Designing for EMI Testing. Today, R&D engineers face challenging
time-to-market goals. Nearly 50% of products fail EMC compliance the first time and this
leads to a longer delay to market and lost time on other projects. To address these challenges,
it makes sense to perform EMI tests during the product design cycle in order to reduce
the possibility of failing EMC compliance, which typically comes at the end of the development
cycle of a product ...

vehicles (EVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) are gaining in popularity; seemingly
as they gain in the range of each battery charge. Both EVs and HEVs rely on high-voltage
batteries and an electric motor; in addition, an HEV is aided by a gasoline engine with
its own fuel supply. Both types of vehicles still employ lower-voltage batteries and
electrical systems for lights, radios, electric windows, and other voltage-driven functions.
Of course, among the key functions in an EV or HEV is charging the high-voltage ...
