Electromagnetic Field Measurement Services by Soliani EMC

Overview
Soliani EMC conducts electromagnetic field measurement tests in compliance with current regulations or as per client requests. In recent years, the emphasis on product quality, particularly in the electronics sector, has intensified. Legislation is evolving rapidly, imposing strict regulations and parameters that must be adhered to. While it is challenging to subject equipment—be it prototypes or finished products—to rigorous testing, such measures enhance reliability. Adhering to these regulations not only assures compliance but also confirms the product's specifications and operational limits in potentially hostile environments.

Hostile Environments
Interestingly, even domestic settings can be considered hostile. Common household items such as GSM phones, electric drill motors, refrigerators, and grinders, along with humidity in kitchens, can pose significant challenges to electronic devices if they have not been adequately designed, tested, and verified. This concern escalates in industrial or automotive environments, where electronic equipment is exposed to a variety of disturbances.

Importance of Testing
Beyond the manufacturing and assembly processes, which prioritize the quality of materials and craftsmanship, other unforeseen and hard-to-quantify factors must be considered. Precise measurements conducted in specific locations with appropriate methodologies are essential for instrumentally verifying a product's durability and compatibility. Typically, these measurements aim to ensure that a device does not emit disturbances into the environment while also assessing its tolerance to specific interferences, such as:

  • Overloads and induced discharges in connection cables
  • High-voltage static currents
  • Radio frequencies emanating from or entering the cables
  • Electromagnetic fields

Testing Procedures
Using specialized equipment, these disturbances can be artificially generated, while measuring devices can evaluate spurious emissions. All tests are performed in environments with known parameters, which must be carefully considered during the measurement process.
