Poster: RF Fundamentals in EMS Testing
EMS testing verifies whether electronic devices can withstand external electromagnetic disturbances without compromising operation. This poster covers the RF fundamentals behind EMS testing, including radiated test setup considerations, RF amplifier selection, and other key factors for achieving reliable, effective tests.
Poster Overview
Electromagnetic susceptibility (EMS) testing is an essential part of EMC testing, assessing how well electronic devices remain immune to external electromagnetic disturbances. A fundamental understanding of radio frequency (RF) principles is therefore essential to understanding how EMS tests work and how electromagnetic energy interacts with a device under test. This poster introduces the fundamentals behind EMS testing and applies them to practical considerations, including putting together a radiated test setup, selecting the correct amplifier, and more. These fundamentals help engineers design effective EMS tests and ensure electronic devices operate reliably in real-world electromagnetic environments.
