What's New

Good news for phone users: the FCC's annual robocall report shows complaints plummeting as enforcement intensifies. With 906,622 complaints over five years—down from 1.35 million previously—the agency's crackdown on illegal calls is clearly working.

The FDA's medical device recall oversight is failing—and staffing shortages are to blame. GAO's December report shows nearly three-quarters of recalls exceeded termination targets during 2020-2024, with congressional recommendations for strategic staffing increases now on the table.

Teaching EMC doesn't require expensive labs. The EMC Demo Box brings electromagnetic compatibility to life in any classroom, demonstrating real coupling, radiation, and shielding effects through hands-on measurements that transform theory into lasting understanding.

Third-party test labs undergo rigorous ISO 17025 accreditation audits lasting days or weeks. Learn what auditors scrutinize—from equipment calibration to facility layouts—and why accredited labs provide manufacturers with the highest-quality compliance testing and reliable results.

Even perfect shields fail with poor aperture design. Learn how slot orientation, size, and placement affect shielding effectiveness, and discover why multiple small holes outperform single large openings using Babinet's principle.

FICDM testing wasn't designed for today's tiny chiplets and flip chip assemblies. Part 1 explores critical challenges: probes too large for microbumps, unreliable air discharge below 250V, and the mounting dilemma for bare die products.

This whitepaper underscores that precise calibration of high-voltage test gear — especially when measuring 1 kV–150 kV systems — is essential for safety, reliability, and regulatory compliance. It details measurement techniques (voltage dividers, step-down transformers, etc.), the impact of environmental and connection factors on accuracy, and why traceable calibration (e.g. to NIST / A2LA) is a must to ensure consistent, reliable results.

Explore the future of electromagnetic compatibility and compliance engineering. From 5G and IoT to AI-driven testing and electric vehicles, discover emerging technologies, innovations, and challenges shaping EMC standards and ensuring reliable, interference-free electronic systems.

The FDA has updated its lists of medical devices with digital health technologies, including AI-enabled devices, AR/VR medical devices, and sensor-based digital health technology. These FDA-authorized device lists help healthcare providers understand the current digital health landscape and support informed use of advanced medical technologies in patient care.
