Testing

This article will introduce the concept of traceability, discuss the role an EMC test laboratory must assume to ensure traceability of test results and will introduce a future amendment to CISPR 16-1-1 which describes the requirements for calibration of EMI receivers and spectrum analyzers.

The process of designing and testing vehicles for EMC compliance can be long and expensive. Electromagnetic simulation allows potential compliance issues to be identified early in the development process, before the construction of prototypes. However, it is desirable that the simulation is able to model the test setup accurately. In this article we look at the set-up of a virtual EMC test chamber using a commercially available software and compare the simulated results to measurements from a General Motors automotive EMC test.
