Emissions Testing

Domestic and international standards require both a conducted emission test (a measurement of the noise found on the power mains connected to a product) and a radiated emission test (a measurement of the RF signals generated and emitted by a product). Our site provides 3-, 10- and 30-meter testing in an all-weather facility that can handle products up to 13 feet long, 4 feet wide and 10 feet tall, and weighing up to 13,000 pounds. A preliminary radiated emission test on your product can be done in our Semi-Anechoic Test Chamber, allowing radiated emission test time to be reduced by as much as 50 percent.
