EMC:Electromagnetic Compatability

The ability for eletrical devices to operate in the same environment without interfering with one another

Electromagnetic Interference

Electromagnetic energy emissions from one device causing or reduced or degraded performance from another device.

Conducted Emissions

  • Commercial: dBμV
  • Military: dBμV
Photo by charlesdyer

Radiated Emissions

  • Electric Field Strength: dBμV/m
  • Magnetic Flux density: dBpT

3 Detection Modes

  • Peak Detection
  • Average Detection
  • Quasi-peak detection

Always use quasi-peak detectors

Historically meant to simulate the human response to noise.

Pre Compliance

Solution

Measurements Solutions

  • Evaluate emissions of device
  • Use correct detectors and bandwidth
  • Gives an approximation of EMI performance of EUT

Log Periodic Antenna

Biconical Antenna

Antenna Tripods

Raise and Lower Antennas

TurnTable

To Rotate the EUT for testing

Design Changes

  • Investigate
  • Save money to find problems
  • Redesign
  • Pre-compliance test
  • Full Compliance

Everything must be certified
