Designed for fast EMC standards testing, this 110 MHz EMI-receiver/spectrum analyzer/scalar network analyzer provides the functionality to quickly carry out conducted emission measurements to international EMC standards.

It is common for people doing simulations to make a measurement of a similar set up to validate the simulation. The real issue is whether the tool user understands the problem well enough to capture the important features, and whether the user understands the tool well enough to use it correctly.

The U.S. Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC’s) rules requiring broadband service providers to display consumer-friendly labels are now in effect.

Keystone Compliance is moving ahead with plans to dramatically increase its existing laboratory and testing facility in New Castle, PA.

Functional safety encompasses various standards and requirements for ensuring safe product operation. Functional safety evaluations are necessary whenever controls are employed to ensure safe product operation, with the process generally similar across projects despite differing nuances in standards and applications.

Designing safe products powered by lithium-ion batteries requires an understanding of how the battery pack will behave while undergoing thermal runaway. In this work, fractional thermal runaway calorimetry is used to estimate the energy release from cells at different states of charge when undergoing a thermal runaway.

Manufacturers, retailers, and regulators have been working to improve product safety and make recalls more effective. This has been especially important for online retailers who have additional ways to directly contact their customers.

This article presents the derivation of the radiated far fields from a Hertzian dipole antenna above the ground plane using image theory.

It is now well known that testing for CDM ESD evaluation is becoming a bigger challenge. An alternate approach called capacitively coupled transmission line pulsing (CCTLP) offers advantages over standard field-induced CDM testing.

In large systems, such as big cabinets housing numerous electronic components, employing the near-field probe method can be time-consuming and, depending on the voltage level, potentially unsafe (for instance, when dealing with high-voltage circuits requiring isolation). In such scenarios, an alternative approach is necessary.
