- Understanding limitations & common pitfalls
- Live demos & hands-on sessions
Conducted Emissions
- Setting up tests (mains & DC-powered)
- LISNs & measurement techniques
- Separating differential-mode vs common-mode noise
Radiated Emissions & Probing
- Near-field probes (E-field & H-field)
- RF current/clamp probes (primarily common-mode currents)
- Antennas & measurement distance
- Practical probing for fault isolation
Hands-On Troubleshooting
- Conducted & radiated emissions troubleshooting
- Conducted & radiated immunity
- Transient & ESD-related issues
- Guided fault-finding case studies
Equipment Overview
- Spectrum analyser – identify emission frequencies & measure noise
- Oscilloscope – time-domain & transient analysis
- LISN – conducted emissions for mains-powered equipment
- Near-field probes – locate PCB, cable & enclosure sources
- RF current/clamp probes – detect common-mode currents
- Antennas – pre-compliance radiated emission checks
- Transient & immunity accessories – fast transients & disturbances
All equipment is provided on-site. Post-course purchases are available with exclusive attendee discounts.
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.
