EMC Precompliance Testing

Why is Pre-Compliance Testing done? Almost any electronic design slated for commercial use is subject to EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) testing. Any company intending to sell these products into a country must ensure that the product is tested versus specifications set forth by the regulatory body of that country. In the USA, the FCC specifies rules on EMC testing. CISPR ...

EMC Precompliance: Conducted Emission Testing

EMC Precompliance Testing: Conducted Emissions Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) can cause undesirable effects on electronic products. These effects can range from annoying glitches to rendering a product unusable. In an effort to minimise these issues, countries have established standards and limits to products that are being sold within that market. This Electromagnetic ...

EMC Precompliance: Near Field Probes

EMC Pre-Compliance Testing: Near Field Probing Solution: Electronic products can emit unwanted electromagnetic radiation, or electromagnetic interference (EMI). Regulatory agencies, such as the FCC in North America, create standards that define the allowable limits of EMI over specific frequency ranges. Testing designs and products for compliance to these ...

Using probes with a Spectrum Analyser

Using a Passive Oscilloscope Probe with a Spectrum Analyser Solution: Spectrum Analysers are typically used to measure radio frequency (RF) signals. The signals are usually delivered to the RF input of the analyser with an antenna, magnetic probe, or using a cable with a matched impedance. This minimises impedance mismatching which lowers reflected power ...

Temperature Measurement App Note

Every electrical and electronic device brought to market has to be classified and tested based on international guidelines, rules, critical values and safety conditions. Each instrument or device that passes is labelled with a special mark. In most of European countries, this will be declared by CE mark. In the US, there is an FCC approval as well as sometimes a UL listing. This identification has...
