Advanced Test Equipment Corp (ATEC), a leading provider of test and measurement equipment rentals, has been recognized by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) for its exceptional contributions to the Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Society. This prestigious award highlights ATEC’s unwavering commitment to advancing EMC testing, industry education, and regulatory compliance. 

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) simulators are crucial tools in the field of electronics testing. They are designed to replicate the electrostatic discharge events that electronic devices might encounter during their lifecycle. These simulators ensure that devices can withstand ESD events without malfunctioning, which is vital for maintaining their performance and safety. Let’s explore how ESD simulators are applied across different industries.

Discover how different standards require various approaches to bonding equipment under test to ground planes. Learn the critical differences between MIL-STD-461, CISPR 25, and ANSI C63.4 that could impact your compliance testing results and save you costly retesting.

This article describes the parameters that can be used to tailor your application of MIL-STD-461 RE102, such as frequency ranges, designing notches, and relaxing limits.

The charged device model spark itself is not just resistive; it often has extra inductance or L-C energy storage. These plus hardware properties affect the CDM waveform and affect methods to correlate alternate CDM test methods to standard JEDEC CDM.

Standards and requirements for hardware testing must be carefully tailored rather than rigidly applied. A thorough understanding of source documents, appendices, parent standards, and similar projects helps ensure testing is efficient and relevant for specific hardware applications, preventing delays and oversights.

7layers successfully validated its Interlab Test Solution Bluetooth® RF for Channel Sounding qualification, running with the R&S CMW wideband radio communication tester.

Explore the hidden complexities of measurement uncertainty in EMC testing, where precision meets practicality. Learn how subtle variations in measurements can impact product compliance, engineering decisions, and ultimately, market success.

Learn to set up in-house conducted emissions testing for line-operated products using basic equipment like spectrum analyzers and LISNs. This practical guide helps engineers perform pre-compliance EMC testing right on their benchtop, potentially saving time and money.

Explore essential strategies for EMC testing of electric axles in automotive applications.
