Testing

OEMs are moving toward the digitalization of the design and integration of electrical and electronic systems in aerospace applications. This approach to design development may help aerospace OEMs avoid possible calamities in the future.

Without much effort and expense, it is possible to perform pre-compliance testing in a manner that saves considerable time and money without commercial or financial risks associated with purchasing a full-compliance test facility.

In this first part of a two-part article, we’ll discuss the use of radio modules to enable wireless connectivity of electronic and consumer products, and how to approach radio, EMC and safety regulatory approvals in North America for radio modules and equipment which contain radio modules.

Understanding radio compliance and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) issues to help ensure that products meet regulatory testing requirements and customer expectations.

This article discusses the requirements for the qualification of an Open Area Test Site or Semi Anechoic Chamber for measuring radiated disturbances from 30 MHz to 1 GHz.

What is an antenna Balun? The term balun is a portmanteau (a blending of two words) of balanced/unbalanced – BAL-UN.

This article presents the importance of defining product case and load simulator grounding in an automotive EMC test plan.

Changes to the FCC compliance rules in the U.S. now enable manufacturers to save time and cost by allowing self-testing. This article outlines some of the basic factors that determine RF and EMC behavior and how these determine compliance test methods.

More power costs more money when it comes to broadband power amplifiers, so we typically only specify/buy to meet our current needs rather than what we may need in the future.

The voltage based CDM classification has practically no meaning for IP qualification. In this article, we propose an alternative CDM qualification, which is based on a peak current criterion.
