EMC testing is essential to get a certification of Electromagnetic Emission and Immunity test before launching the product in the market. However, actual EMC tests are pretty expensive. Before going for the actual EMC test, the product should be tested in the EMC pre-compliance test Lab. Pre-compliance testing will mimic all tests performed at EMI/EMC test labs to ensure the device will pass the EMI/EMC compliance test. Compliance test labs are very costly and difficult to pass; the pre-compliance testing cost is cheaper than the actual cost of EMI/EMC compliance test labs and will give approximately the same result.

Goran talked about equipment he bought or created to do simple pre-compliance testing. The talk covered testing of different near field probes, creating a simple chamber from microwave, doing measurements in the basement with a TV antenna.He also showed emard’s idea about creating a pyramidal shape chamber that would by the calculations absorb and not reflect most of the signals…
