The cost of testing is high, and the process tedious, which contributes to longer project cycles. A product must remain in compliance. The process for checking this is involves EMC testing. Planning and preparing for EMC testing is called EMC design.
Read MoreOne of the most critical parts of the testing stage is electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). EMC tests essentially measure two things in a product — its ability to operate as intended within its intended environment (immunity testing) and also a device’s potential to cause harmful interference to other devices operating in its vicinity (emissions testing).
Read MoreThe terms Electromagnetic interference (EMI) and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) are often used interchangably when referring to regulatory testing of electronic components and consumer goods. Because they are related in many ways, it’s easy to confuse the two. In this article, we attempt to demystify EMI and EMC, and to provide a basic, general overview of the types of testing equipment employed, and the respective requirements in each area.
