testing

While many designers attempt to perform radiated emissions troubleshooting at an outdoor site or in a semi-anechoic chamber using a third-party test lab facility, I've found a much more efficient method is to perform this using a nearby antenna right on your own work bench.

Each new version of Wi-Fi standards offers more capabilities but also more complicated regulatory testing requirements. Deciding which capabilities to include and planning for pre-compliance testing can save multiple trips to the test labs and reduce time to market.

TÜV Rheinland North America proudly announces the grand opening of its Northeast Technology and Innovation Center located in Boxborough, MA. This advanced facility represents a significant investment for the leading company.

The United States Department of Commerce will provide funding to promote the deployment of open networks in the U.S. and abroad. Rohde & Schwarz and VIAVI offer joint test solutions to meet the needs of radio equipment manufacturers who plan to apply for the funding.

The USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF) has approved the USB 3.2 Gen 1 & Gen 2 transmitter and receiver compliance test solution from Rohde & Schwarz, confirming that it meets the stringent requirements set by the standardization body.

Ken Wyatt explores a more advanced troubleshooting tool for assessing radiated emission issues, the RF current probe. These are most useful for measuring RF common mode harmonic currents on cables.

LTE and LTE-Advanced technologies are vulnerable to interference as well as jamming. However, strategies and techniques exist to address interference and guarantee coexistence with other services, especially in critical situations. Robust device design and thorough testing are essential for maintaining stable and efficient communication in high-interference environments.

TDK RF Solutions has received the 2024 Silver IGUS Vector Award for developing a roller test rig to facilitate vehicle-in-the-loop testing for EMC.

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.
