EMI and EMC Testing
Testing to MIL-STD-461 A, B, C, D, E, F and G
E-Labs, Inc. offers Electromagnetic
Interference (EMI) as well as Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
testing services.
Our reference standards are tested to MIL-STD-461
A, B, C, D, E, F and G. This type of testing is required for devices,
systems, and applications within the military and aerospace
industries. Weapons, aircraft, ground and support equipment,
electrical, and electronic systems must meet the established
requirements.
During electromagnetic interference the
component’s electrical circuit is affected due to either
electromagnetic conduction or electromagnetic radiation from an
external source.
Signal emissions radiating from the component are
tested based on their frequency range. High frequency emissions are
measured through free space as radiated emissions. Low frequency
signals are measured through a conductor as conducted emissions. We
can test Emissions and Susceptibility to 40GHz. Susceptibility is
tested in order to determine the products inability to function when
being exposed to an interfering signal. This interfering signal may
be in the form of a carrier wave, modulated signal, spike voltage,
or transient event. We can generate Radiated Susceptibility fields
across the frequency range of 10 KHz to 40 GHz.
If you're concerned about the ability of your product to withstand electric fields, E-labs will test for Radiated Susceptibility Electric Fields. We can test your equipment and sub-system enclosures as well as all interconnecting cables for Radiated Susceptibility in accordance with RS103 from 2 MHz up to 40 GHz.
We have large anechoic test chambers with high
current DC and AC sources available. They are built with echo
suppression features and radiation absorbent material to minimize
reflection of RF waves. This radiation absorbent material is
arranged in an array of pyramid shaped rubberized foam material
filled with a controlled iron and carbon mixture. The design allows
for the gradual absorption of power as the wave penetrates the
material.
Locating the source of an electromagnetic
interference problem can be a difficult task. Setbacks may be due to
electrical or mechanical design, self compatibility problems, or
improper field installation.
Contact E-Labs Inc. to help prevent or
troubleshoot EMI problems before they can have an unexpected
negative impact on operational performance.
Our highly trained EMI engineers can perform
mitigation to solve any EMI problem. Diagnostic skills are used to
identify, isolate, and fix EMI problems. Design reviews can be
conducted for products that are early in the design stage. Detailed
EMI analysis can be done in the case of complex electronics that are
to be integrated in larger systems.
