Practical Outcomes
Build an in-house setup
Create a cost-effective EMC pre-compliance bench without a full lab.
Probe with confidence
Use near-field probes & RF current clamps effectively (common-mode focus).
Find root causes faster
Pinpoint where emissions originate and why immunity fails.
Cut external lab spend
Reduce reliance on external test houses by validating earlier.
Choose equipment smarter
Make confident purchasing decisions based on what actually matters.
