April 5th, 2021 - Vista, California - Axiom Test Equipment, an electronic test equipment rental and sales company, as published a new blog post that informs people about the importance of conducting EMC/EMI tests. This is important If you are looking to make measurements that test if an electronic design can operate effectively when near other electronic devices and not cause electromagnetic interference (EMI) to them. In addition, making smaller electronic products possible can be done by achieving electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) within the operating environment. Learn more about the variety of practical test equipment that has been developed to perform the many measurements needed for efficient EMC/EMI testing.

EMC/EMI compliance and pre-compliance testing involves four different types of measurements: radiated immunity, radiated emissions, conducted immunity, and conducted emissions. EMC/EMI pre-compliance testing can be performed within a reasonable budget, with a wideband signal analyzer, test signal source, power amplifier to boost radiated test levels according to the requirements of the applicable EMC/EMI standard, and test antennas and near-field probes.

Learn more about the importance of EMC/EMI tests, as well as the different equipment you would need by reading the full blog post on Axiom's Website. https://www.axiomtest.com/blog/Make-Safer-Products-with-Practical-EMC-Testing/

Make Safer Products with Practical EMC Testing

Rohde & Schwarz ESU8 EMI Test Receiver, 20 Hz - 8 GHz

Electronic circuits and products are being made smaller as users seek more mobility and portability. Whether those users are consumers, warehouse workers, or military teams, electronic devices such as cell phones and even medical alert devices are being designed to fit in smaller packages. Making smaller electronic products possible is made possible by achieving electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) within the operating environment - making measurements that tell whether an electronic design can operate effectively when near other electronic devices and not cause electromagnetic interference (EMI) for other electronic devices. Fortunately, a variety of practical test equipment has been developed to perform the many measurements needed for efficient EMC/EMI testing.

Different EMC and EMI regulations around the world set limits on acceptable amounts of EM radiation from an electronic device, to prevent interference from the device, but to also ensure the reliability and safety of the device. In the final stages of an electronic product's development, designers may rely on an accredited test lab that provides specialized test services to ensure that a product meets applicable EMC/EMI regulations. This type of test lab has the equipment and experience to perform all the EMC/EMI measurements according to different standards, such as the U.S. military MIL-STD-461E/F requirements and EMC standards set by international organizations such as the Comité International Special des Perturbations Radioelectriques (CISPR) and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).

Prior to full EMC compliance testing, EMC/EMI pre-compliance testing should be ongoing during the design and development of a new electronic product...
