Electromagnetic Compatibility services
LaCEM performs all electromagnetic compatibility testing, analysis, measurement, evaluation and reporting services in a complete and reliable manner.
Electromagnetic compatibility testing (EMC) is essential to ensure that electronic devices and systems can operate correctly in an electromagnetic environment and avoid unwanted interference that may affect their operation or that of other nearby devices. These tests are governed and regulated under strict standards such as IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission), for the industrial and scientific part, MIL-STD (military standard) for the aerospace part, etc.
COMMON TESTS
- Emission test (conducted and radiated) This test is performed to measure the amount of electromagnetic energy that a device emits. The amount of energy is measured at different frequencies to ensure that it does not exceed the limits set by regulatory agencies.
- Immunity test (conducted and radiated) This test is performed to measure the ability of a device to resist the effects of electromagnetic interference from its environment. The device is subjected to a variety of interference conditions, such as radio waves, magnetic fields and electrical transients to measure its resistance.
- Electrostatic discharge test This test is performed to measure the ability of a device to withstand electrostatic discharge (ESD) and prevent failure or damage. The device is subjected to high voltage discharges to verify its resistance capability.
In addition, pre-compliance tests are performed, providing assistance and advice to industries that manufacture equipment with electronic systems, in order to guide them in the solution of design and development problems through tests, to comply with the required standards and thus be able to market the products they manufacture.
EQUIPMENT
The laboratory consists of two semi-anechoic chambers. One of the chambers is located in a class 100,000 room, with a frequency range from 9KHz to 18GHz, with amplitudes up to 200V/m. The other chamber is 1m for subsystems, with a frequency range from 10K to 18Ghz with field amplitudes up to 100V/m.
