Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) evaluations conducted at Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) for conducted, radiated, electromagnetic emissions (EME), and electromagnetic interference (EMI) using screen rooms, anechoic chambers, and an open-air test site as required by GR-1089-CORE. Effects of electrostatic discharge to equipment, equipment grounding, and equipment immunity to power transients are evaluated.
Key Benefits of EMC Testing
- Certification of EMCR staff by International Association of Radio and Telecommunications Engineers Inc. (iNARTE) as certified EMC engineers and technicians
