SwRI Information

Home

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

• Accreditation of electromagnetic compatibility research lab by American Association of Laboratory

• Accreditation (A2LA) for ISO Guide 25 (EN45001)

• Certification of EMCR staff by National Association of Radio and Telecommunications Engineers Inc. (NARTE) on certified EMC engineers and technicians

EMC Testing Capabilities

A description of the GR-1089-CORE tests that are performed at SwRI follows:

Immunity tests

• Electrostatic discharge (ESD)

• Radiated immunity

• Conducted immunity

• Short circuit (tip & ring)

• Lightning transients

• Current-limiting protection

• AC power fault immunity

Emissions tests

• Radiated emissions, E-field and H-field

• Conducted emissions on AC/DC power leads and signal leads

EMC Evaluations
