Why Invest in an In-House EMC Test Lab?
While third-party EMC compliance testing services offer a valuable option, establishing an in-house EMC test lab can provide several significant advantages for companies with frequent or complex testing needs.
Cost Savings
- Reduced Testing Fees - Frequent pre-compliance testing during product development is crucial. An in-house lab eliminates the need for constant reliance on third-party labs, leading to substantial savings over time on EMC testing costs.
- Faster Turnaround - In-house testing allows for quicker turnaround times between tests, especially during development iterations. This can significantly accelerate the product development cycle and time-to-market.
Increased Control and Flexibility
- Scheduling Flexibility - With an in-house lab, you can conduct tests on your own schedule, avoiding potential delays caused by third-party lab availability.
- Greater Control Over Parameters - You have more control over the specific test configurations and can tailor them to your specific product needs, ensuring EMC compliance.
- Faster Troubleshooting - Having the test equipment readily available allows for quicker troubleshooting and identification of electromagnetic interference (EMI) issues.
Improved Efficiency and Communication
- Streamlined Communication - In-house testing eliminates communication delays and potential misinterpretations that can occur when working with a third-party lab.
- Simplified Development Process - EMC testing can be seamlessly integrated into the development cycle, leading to a more efficient workflow and faster product launches.
- Enhanced Team Knowledge - Having an in-house lab fosters a deeper understanding of EMC compliance standards within your team, allowing for better product design from the start and potentially reducing the need for extensive re-design later in the process.
Comprehensive EMC Test Chamber Services
It is important to periodically test an anechoic chamber to ensure that it is still operating within the specification. Over time several factors can cause the chamber to fall out of specification these include:
- Wear and tear: The absorber material used inside the chambers can degrade due to heat, humidity or electromagnetic radiation
- Electrical interference: Electrical interference from nearby equipment or other sources can also affect the performance of the chamber. This can cause the chamber’s readings to be inaccurate or inconsistent.
- Physical damage: Physical damage to the chamber or its components can also affect its performance. For example, if the chamber’s antenna is damaged or misaligned, it can affect the accuracy of the measurements taken inside the chamber.
At APC Technology Group, we understand the importance of ensuring that an anechoic chamber is operating within specification to obtain accurate and reliable test results. That’s why we offer comprehensive chamber testing services to our customers, regardless of whether the chamber was supplied by us or a third-party.
Our experienced technicians are equipped with the knowledge and skills required to perform a range of tests to ensure that the chamber is operating as expected. We use calibrated equipment and adhere to industry standards to ensure that our testing procedures are accurate and reliable.
Whether you need to test for radiated emissions, radiated immunity, antenna pattern, reflection coefficient, absorption coefficient, field uniformity, background noise, or any other performance parameter, we can help. Our goal is to ensure that your anechoic chamber is operating within specification, so you can have confidence in your test results.
If you need chamber testing services, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We would be happy to discuss your specific needs and provide you with a custom solution that meets your requirements.
