Demystifying EMC Testing: All about Keeping Electronics in Order
Electromagnetic Compatibility or EMC testing is all about or defined as the ability of an electrical and electronic product to bear a certain degree of electromagnetic disturbance (EMI) from the nearby electronic device(s) and not emit more than a specified amount of electromagnetic interference (EMI). EMC testing assesses and evaluates whether the product meets the requirements of EMC emission and immunity standards. When a product complies with the requirements of these EMC standards, the product is considered to be aEMC certified product (i.e., withstand EMI from nearby devices and operate properly, and not emit more than a specified level of EMI) and can sell in the market.This testing is defined as the performance of testing regimens which may help evaluate the levels of EM radiation from and to your board to determine the effect on the performance of your board, and potential impact on electronics in the surrounding environment. Why Test for EMC? There are a number of good reaso...
