What's New

Three pre-compliance measurement software packages are put to the test, comparing how each one automates radiated emissions testing and shaves hours off manual measurement work. The review shares hands-on pricing, quirks, and lessons learned from running each tool in the field.

The FCC is proposing a new Robocall Scorecard to help consumers compare voice service providers on how well they protect against illegal robocalls. Public comment is open on which providers should be rated and what metrics should define the score.

NIST has released a new Quick-Start Guide showing organizations how to apply artificial intelligence to their Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 analysis and reporting. The guide builds on two earlier resources covering risk management and reference information within CSF 2.0.

The FCC is alerting consumers to a growing scam in which callers pose as FCC officials and threaten legal action over supposedly flagged phone numbers. Learn the warning signs and the steps the agency recommends to avoid becoming a target.

: NIST is inviting public comment on a new draft guide that shows organizations how to apply AI tools to strengthen alignment with its cybersecurity framework. See what the quick start guide recommends and how to weigh in before the comment window closes.

Trace the path from tuned analog receivers to real-time digital analysis, and see how each leap reshaped what compliance engineers can detect and how fast. This piece maps the technology shifts behind modern EMC testing, plus where AI and cloud connectivity are pushing spectrum analysis next.

New research reveals that certified ESD footwear and compliant flooring do not guarantee protection on their own. Testing across multiple systems shows some combinations pushed body voltage past 350 volts, well beyond the ANSI/ESD S20.20 limit. See which pairings held up.

Setting CDM test goals has long lacked clear guidance on what counts as adequate performance. New analysis grounded in radial transmission line theory calculates fundamental limits on peak current and slew rate for devices of any size, offering engineers a way to evaluate risk against real use conditions.

A new discharge current sensor installed directly inside an assembly machine captures real ESD events during pick and place operations for the first time. Award winning research reveals how tool speed and moving path change discharge current, giving MCM and SiP designers data to target protection precisely.

Ken Wyatt walks through pre-compliance radiated emissions testing for automotive modules under CISPR 25 and military products under MIL-STD-461, including spectrum analyzer setup and how to work around ambient RF interference on a home-built test bench.
