Radiated Immunity and Emission Testing Facilities

Our state-of-the-art radiated immunity and emission testing infrastructure is equipped with advanced technology and instrumentation to conduct comprehensive assessments of products under test up to a frequency of 40 GHz.

The core equipment we use in radiated emission/immunity testing includes:

Semi Anechoic Chamber

Our Lab is equipped with a Semi-Anechoic (SAC)-3 Plus full compliant EMC testing solution at 3,0 m measuring distance with a Quiet Zone (QZ) of 2,0 m. It is adapted for full compliant emission and immunity testing. The innovatively shaped roof, called dome design, with its optimized absorber layout leads to minimized reflections and offers outstanding performance for NSA, SVSWR and FU.

Features

Absorbers

Frankosorb® optimized hybrid absorber lining with Ferrite F006, H600 and H1000
High-performance nano thin-film technology with proven long-term stability
Available material classifications: non-combustible acc. to DIN EN 13501-1 class A2 – s1 d0

All-round feed-through RFI trap

Our Chamber is equipped with an RFI trap of 560 x 360 mm in size, with one half inside and the other half outside the chamber/room. Filled with copper granulates it is possible to feed all kinds of shielded cables into the chamber/room without an interface e.g. a connecter in between. This provides our clients with peace of mind, allowing them to route cables of any type through the RFI without concern over degradation of the chamber's shielding effectiveness or any inaccuracies introduced into the tests.

Compliance with CISPR 25 Standard for Automotive Testing

Our SAC Plus L is equipped with special absorbers which allow performing full-compliance test of CISPR 25. The integration of a CISPR-25 wooden test table (OF 500Kg load capacity) streamlines the tests. A “F contact strip” integrated in the wall will insure table’s grounding to the shielding of the anechoic chamber. These features make our SAC a perfect fit for our clients to perform Automotive EMC tests.

EMI Receiver

Our EMI receivers are engineered with superior RF performance, encompassing a broad dynamic range and exceptional accuracy, making them ideal for swift and reliable certification assessments. These receivers comply with rigorous standards, including CISPR, EN, MIL STD-461, DO 160, and FCC, ensuring they meet the highest industry requirements. They are equipped with an FFT-based time domain scan feature that accelerates the measurement process. Additionally, an optional wideband extension allows for an FFT bandwidth up to 970 MHz, capable of simultaneously measuring CISPR bands C and D. This expansive bandwidth is processed in real-time, maintaining accuracy even when CISPR detectors are active.

Key Features

Frequency band from 1 Hz to 44 GHz.
Conforms to standards such as CISPR 16-1-1, ANSI C63.2, MIL STD 461, and FCC.
Unmatched dynamic range and precision.

EMC Software

Our lab has integrated the cutting-edge R&S®ELEKTRA test software into its EMC testing systems. This advanced tool not only automates the measurement processes for equipment under test (EUT) for both emissions (EMI) and immunity (EMS) certifications but also streamlines system configuration and test setups in line with prevalent standards. With R&S®ELEKTRA, we enhance the efficiency of test execution, enabling faster turnaround times. Our clients can now benefit from more rapid and thorough testing cycles, leading to quicker, comprehensive test reporting.
