Test Beyond the Specs: Why Test Higher in Frequency and Field Strength?
IEC 61000-4-3: 2006’s frequency escalation Jason Smith and Pat Malloy, AR RF/Microwave Instrumentation Souderton, PA An increasing number of new and proposed EMC standards are pushing the upper frequency test limits higher into the microwave spectrum. The latest EMC standard released, IEC 61000-4-3: 2006, is no exception. The upper frequency test limit has been increased from … [Read more...]
Towards an EMC Technology Roadmap
A technology roadmap is a tool for attaining the optimum development within a sector of technology Marcel Van Doorn, Phillips Electromagnetics & Cooling Competence Center Eindhoven, the Netherlands Introduction This article expands earlier work on the concept of a technology roadmap for EMC technology.1 Just as a traditional terrestrial map helps insure that travelers … [Read more...]
Different Methods of Connecting an SPD to an Electrical Distribution Network
The way in which SPDs are connected can have a large impact on the overall protection provided Bryan Cole Introduction Surge protective devices (spds) or transient voltage surge suppressors (TVSS) are used to reduce the impact of overvoltage transients on the electrical distribution networks found in various industries. Of course, the efficacy of these devices will affect the … [Read more...]
High Gain Microwave Horn Antenna Supplies Constant High Intensity Fields for RFI/EMI Testing
The Model AT4418 from AR RF Microwave Instrumentation is a wideband, high gain, microwave horn antenna that provides a minimum gain of 7 dB over the frequency range of 1 GHz to 18 GHz over isotropic.
