Emissions Testing Services
Testing standards vary by region. Economies of the United States (FCC), Canada (ISED), Australia/New Zealand (ACMA), Taiwan (BSMI) require products be tested to emissions standards. Meanwhile, economies of Europe (CE) and South Korea (KCC) require products be tested to both emissions and immunity standards.
Radiated Emissions tests are performed on an enclosed 3/10 meter open area test site.
Testing is conducted utilizing:
- RF Anechoic Chamber – Ambient-free environment for radiated emissions pre-scans and emissions engineering tests
- Free Space Measurements – Per ANSI and CISPR measurement standards, products above 1 GHz are measured in a free space environment
- Low Frequency Harmonics/Flicker Testing – State-of-the-art equipment provides fast, accurate results compliant to European regulations (EN 61000-3-2, EN 61000-3-3, JIS C 61000-3-2)
- Groundplane – 3 x 3.5 Meter Groundplane with a 2 x 2 Meter Vertical Plane is used for Conducted Emissions Testing.
Immunity Testing Services
Testing standards vary by region. Economies of Europe (CE) and South Korea (KCC) require products be tested to both emissions and immunity standards.
Testing is conducted utilizing:
- Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) Immunity – Setup provides up to 8 kV of contact discharge and 15 kV of air discharge (EN 61000-4-2)
- Radiated Radio-Frequency (RF) Immunity- A BiconiLog antenna is used for Radiated RF Immunity Testing from 80 to 1000 MHz and a Horn Antenna is used from 1 to 6 GHz generating fields up to 20 V/m (EN 61000-4-3)
- Electrical Fast Transient (EFT) Immunity System – Provides up 4 kV on single phase 230 Volt 16 Amp mains power and up to 2 kV via a coupling clamp onto I/O cables (EN 61000-4-4)
- Surge Immunity – Mains powered single phase 230 VAC, 16 Amp devices can be applied up to 4 kV and I/O cables can be surged up to 2 kV via a coupling network (EN 61000-4-5)
- Conducted Immunity – RF Amplifier with coupling decoupling networks (CDNs) generate up to 20 Vrms from 100 kHz to 230 MHz (EN 61000-4-6)
- Power Frequency Magnetic Fields – Helmholtz coil generates fields up to 100 A/m (EN 61000-4-8)
