Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
MCS Test is a leading consultant and supplier of Compliant and Pre-Compliant EMC Test Equipment. We offer a wide range of EMC test equipment, from individual components to complete test solutions.
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is the ability of electrical equipment and systems to function acceptably in their electromagnetic environment.
In radio engineering, an antenna is the interface between radio waves propagating through space and electric currents moving in metal conductors, used with a transmitter or receiver. In transmission, a radio transmitter supplies an electric current to the antenna's terminals, and the antenna radiates the energy from the current as electromagnetic waves (radio waves).
Coupling / Decoupling Networks are used to inject common mode disturbances to Equipment under Test (EuT). Further the CDNs provide sufficient decoupling between Auxiliary Equipment (AE) and disturbance signal.
A test probe is a physical device used to connect electronic test equipment to a device under test (DUT). Test probes range from very simple, robust devices to complex probes that are sophisticated, expensive, and fragile.
An electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) or Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) chamber is a highly specialised piece of test equipment used in the testing of electronic devices against regulatory standards concerning both radiated and conducted radio frequency (RF) emissions and immunity.
A generator is a machine that converts one form of energy into another, especially mechanical energy into electrical energy, as a dynamo, or electrical energy into sound, as an acoustic generator.
EMI/EMC testing is a critical step in bringing a new product to market. EMC testing is critical for managing risk in medical device manufacturing. Devices must be able to work together in close environments without interference or noise compromising performance.
An ESD simulator, also known as an ESD gun, is a handheld unit used to test the immunity of devices to electrostatic discharge (ESD). These simulators are used in special electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) laboratories. ESD pulses are fast, high-voltage pulses created when two objects with different electrical charges come into close proximity or contact.
An absorbing clamp, also know as a ferrite clamp, or ferrite choke, is a device used to reduce the amount of RF (radio frequency) noise, or interference, in a wire that conducts electricity. absorbing clamps are typically used to improve the performance of sound systems, including microphones.
The purpose of RF immunity testing is to subject a product to a controlled RF stress that represents the likely level of stress that it might encountered in its operating environment, over a frequency range which is mostly dictated by practical aspects and experience of real-world problems.
Impedance stabilisation networks (ISN, or with CISPR 16-1-2 called AAN: asymmetric artificial network) are defined for measuring of conducted common mode disturbances at information technology equipment (ITE) as required in CISPR 22 and CISPR 32.
Fully automated Antenna Mast which can be controlled through antenna mast & turntable controllers. The mast section is a rugged square fiberglass tube provides excellent stability. It also has capability of manual control via toggle switch on the mast’s motor box.
Near field probes detect electrical or magnetic energy in the field directly around a device under test. These probes are commonly used to perform pre-compliance EMC testing on a product in order to detect the presence of electromagnetic interference, or EMI, exceeding relevant regulatory standards.
RF and microwave power meters are used in various areas of RF development, design, test, service repair and field service. RF power meters are available in different types such as in-line, absorptive, etc.
RF preamplifiers are widely used to improve system sensitivity and can be especially useful in EMI/EMC radiated emissions test systems. The wide bandwidth antennas typically used for radiated emission measurements often have high transducer factors which can impact the overall measurement sensitivity for the system.
Line impedance stabilisation network (LISN) is a device used in conducted and radiated radio-frequency emission and susceptibility tests, as specified in various electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)/EMI test standards.
Electrostatic discharge and conducted noise are well-known to cause malfunctions of electronics equipments. In the meantime, instant interruption and fluctuation of the power supply voltages can be also the causes.
When conducting tests for electromagnetic interference (EMI) emissions in your electrical equipment, you should consider a motorised wooden turntable - it supports and rotates your desktop or floor standing equipment and allows you to conduct effective and accurate EMC tests.
Transient limiters protect EMI receivers and spectrum analysers from transients, or random surges of energy. EMI receivers and similar electromagnetic susceptibility devices are routinely injected with bursts of energy as part of EMC testing, and as a result, may experience damage via intense feedback.
RF field probes are critical to the implementation of a proper radiated immunity test system. We have RF Field Probes available from LUMILOOP.
A Spectrum Analyser measures the magnitude of an input signal versus frequency within the full frequency range of the instrument. The primary use is to measure the power of the spectrum of known and unknown signals.
A Signal Generator is an electronic device that generates repeating or non-repeating electronic signals in either the analog or the digital domain. These generated signals are used as a stimulus for electronic measurements.
Renting your EMC equipment from MCS enables you to obtain the equipment you need now, without needing to rely on capital budget, compromise on quality, or spread the acquisition of multiple items over a number of years. We have a number of flexible finance packages available:
All 3 of NEXIO's recent webinars are now available online. The Webinars discuss new features and improvements of NEXIO's BAT-EMC 2020 software update.
At the beginning of calendar year 2020, an old model of the "SESD 200" series successfully passed Schlöder's factory calibration in accordance with the IEC 61000-4-2 standard.
One of the very few combined IEC 61000-4-6 test systems that include the RF signal generator, a RF-power amplifier, a 3-channel RF voltmeter and a directional coupler for a very reasonable price.
The Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Testing has an increasing impact on companies in the future.
