This article discusses the topology and characteristics of a dc Line Impedance Stabilization Network (LISN), often referred to as an Artificial Network (AN).

How does safety work? That is, given a hazardous situation, how do we prevent injury from that situation?

When testing EMI performance, substituting real loads with "equivalent" resistors can mislead you by up to 20dB—enough to turn a passing design into a costly failure. This practical guide demonstrates why fans, motors, and other non-linear loads behave dramatically differently than resistors, and why authentic testing matters for accurate results.

Achieving electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) compliance is now straightforward, quick, and easy – using the EM Engineering process that Keith Armstrong describes in this article.

The automotive industry and individual automobile manufacturers must meet a variety of EMC requirements.

Fully anechoic rooms (or FARs) are now included as certified test sites in the generic standard CISPR 16-1-4 Ed 3.2. Although limitations exist for floor standing equipment, they significantly reduce cost and facility requirements for many products.

This article focuses on global wireless compliance. More specifically, it explains what to consider if you intend to certify your device with an integrated third-party module internationally.

A new symbol is being standardized for arc flash – and it’s an important step forward for safety.
