Shielded Room

While articles and papers have been written in the past concerning the protection of high voltage power grids throughout the world, there has not been sufficient emphasis on the near-term plans to harden existing facilities. This article provides a specific cost-effective approach to protect existing power system assets over time from the threats of HEMP and IEMI.

This article discusses improving automotive electronics development processes, emphasizing early testing and in-house EMC capabilities. It highlights current limitations, suggests efficiency enhancements, and provides practical advice for implementing cost-effective EMC testing setups, drawing on the author's extensive industry experience.

Ken Wyatt provides an overview of radiated emissions pre-compliance testing. He covers equipment setup, field strength calculations, and strategies for managing ambient interference. The guide aims to enhance EMC troubleshooting skills and reduce formal testing expenses.

Discover pre-compliance testing for automotive and military EMC standards. Learn key differences from commercial testing, setup techniques, and tips for dealing with ambient signals. Save thousands in wasted compliance 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.
