Testing

This article presents the results of experiments to measure the effectiveness of lossy material in reducing RF emissions from perforated air vents such as those commonly used on computer enclosures. The results show good performance compared to those with conventional metal vents.

Many real-time spectrum analyzer solution providers provide in-one-instrument add-ons which allow users to perform both the traditional swept-mode measurements in addition to real-time measurements.

The growth of connected products and the Internet of Things (IoT) presents many challenges and risks to manufacturers and developers.

This article describes a proposed addition to the IEC 61000-4-3 standard. This addition would allow detailed testing of a product while coordinating and documenting the frequency changes of the test.

With so many different antenna options on the market, it is not always easy to understand what will work best for your application.

In its current form, IEEE Std 149 “IEEE Standard Test Procedures for Antennas” is a marginally useful document. While the standard is a good source for interesting and pertinent information, the document has not undergone a significant update since 1979. The changes to the new version of the IEEE Std 149 will make the document an essential reference in any laboratory that conducts antenna measurements.
