Planning an EMC test chamber? Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) test chambers are specialized facilities for evaluating electronic devices against electromagnetic interference. This guide explores essential design considerations—including RF absorber selection, shielding materials, and chamber configuration—to help engineers create accurate, compliant testing environments that meet industry standards.

The future of the global economy may be unclear, but there’s at least some “bright light” for those in the EMC testing business.

The Commission of the European Union (EU) has also introduced a package of measures that it says will help to simplify existing rules and regulations in order to further support the EU’s market size and future growth.

The FCC has reversed a January ruling that would have held telecom carriers legally accountable for cybersecurity protocols, sparking internal dissent. Commissioner Anna Gomez warned the reversal "leaves the country less secure" amid rising threats, while the Commission cited other recent security initiatives.

Vitrek’s application note details how MTI’s Accumeasure™ uses non-contact, push-pull capacitance probes for real-time, sub-micron thickness monitoring during semiconductor wafer lapping—even in electrically noisy, ungrounded environments. Automated alerts prevent over-thinning, improving yield consistency, precision, and process safety.

The EU Commission is seeking public input on modernizing its product safety framework through two key initiatives: simplifying market access rules, CE marking, and conformity assessments while reducing administrative burdens, and strengthening market surveillance to help authorities better enforce compliance and prevent unsafe products from reaching consumers.

The rapidly increasing use of technologies based on artificial intelligence (AI) is bringing potentially life-changing benefits to our commercial and industrial industries, as well as to people around the world.

As part of its ongoing effort to stem the rise in illegal robocalls, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is now exploring options to block robocalls along every point in the call path.

The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is seeking to retool its labeling requirements for broadband service offerings to reduce the burden on service providers.

When your circuit misbehaves with unexplained noise and jitter, you're facing electromagnetic coupling. This practical guide walks engineers through identifying whether problems stem from differential or common mode issues, near-field or far-field effects, and provides a systematic debugging workflow to isolate sources, paths, and receivers—getting your design back on track.

As hospitals fill with wireless devices—from patient monitors to smartphones—radio frequency interference threatens medical device performance and patient safety. This article explores the critical testing methodologies, regulatory requirements, and risk management strategies manufacturers need to ensure their wireless medical devices work reliably in today's crowded spectrum environments.

As electromagnetic environments grow more complex, RADHAZ assessments have become critical for military safety. Radio frequency radiation can ignite fuel, trigger explosives, and harm personnel. This article explores the three primary hazard areas—HERP, HERO, and HERF—examining how assessments protect against dangers from both high-power radars and low-power transmitters in modern military operations.
