0 EMC Pre-compliance tests


Definition:
• EMC tests performed prior to submitting the product to an EMC test-lab.
• EMC tests performed to improve a device after failing type approval
• Often performed in the design labs of companies that develop and manufacture
electronic products.
• Often performed with equipment, lab space, and budget constraints.
• Keep the test setup as basic as feasible while also closely mimicking a standard
compliant setup as possible.

Target:
New products should be tested for EMC performance during the design process to
prevent failing type approval, which would result in a costly redesign, a delayed
manufacturing ramp up, and a delayed market entry. Pre-compliance testing must
result in successful type approval on the first pass.

Pre-compliance testing constraints
Budget
• affordable spectrum analyzers with EMI option (Rigol, R&S, Siglent) instead of
measurement receivers
• Affordable EMC test software (Tekbox EMCview)
• Affordable transducers (Tekbox LISN, current probes, antennas, CDN,…)

Lab space
• Shielded tents or shielded bags as replacement of shielded chambers
• Lab or open area instead of anechoic chamber
• Space requirements for wooden measurement table and groundplanes

Complexity:
• Non standard compliant setup
• Simplified setup
• Effects on measurement results

Pre-compliance test setup -
how accurate can it be ?

Conducted emission tests


• Excellent correlation with test-house reports
• With careful setup, pretty much spot on

Conducted immunity tests


• Excellent correlation with test-house results

Radiated immunity tests


• Good correlation with test-house results

Radiated emission tests


• Requires effort and experience, to achieve a satisfying correlation with test-house
reports

Conducted emission tests

Conducted emission tests


• The majority of conducted emission tests are carried out using a LISN
• 50µH LISN predominantly for products intended for use in industrial or domestic environment
• 5µH LISN predominantly for automotive products

Simplified setup of a 50µH LISN

Refer to the relevant standard for the correct setup

Other transducers
• RF Current monitoring probes
• CDNE´s
• Voltage probes
