Designing a product to meet customer application requirements is only part of the story. In many cases, the product must also meet or exceed federal and local laws for product safety and performance. One area of concern common to many designs is the amount of electromagnetic radiation a product can legally introduce to the surrounding environment.
Electromagnetic Compliance (EMC) testing is the study of the RF output (intentional or unintentional) of a product and evaluation of whether a device meets the rules set forth by the appropriate governing body. Products that do not meet these limits are illegal to sell and doing so may bring legal action upon the seller. here we are going to introduce basic test concepts that can help you achieve faster compliance testing and faster time-to-market and provide links to content that can help you improve your designs, minimize time-to-market, and build better.
