Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing must be taken into account when designing devices or systems. Before electrical and electronic devices are approved for sale, they must undergo the necessary official testing.
EMC refers to the ability of a device or system to function adequately in its electromagnetic environment without causing electromagnetic interference to other devices or systems in excess of acceptable limits, as well as the ability to function independently without being affected by electromagnetic interference in the environment. From an electromagnetic compatibility perspective, all devices and systems must meet three basic requirements: they must not interfere with other devices, they must not be affected by other devices, and they must not interfere excessively with themselves.
Electromagnetic compatibility includes two main areas: immunity and emissions.
EMC testing is part of the product development process, as well as product type approval and certification. EMC testing ensures that a product functions within and in accordance with the requirements set by standards and directives for that product. Standards also define measurement methods, conditions and equipment for EMC testing.
Tests can be divided into two main categories: immunity tests and emission tests. Emission tests, i.e. interference emissions, include the measurement of conductive and radiated interference generated by a device or system. Conducted immunity tests measure the interference generated by the equipment under test or the interference transmitted through power cables. Radiated immunity tests measure the electromagnetic interference transmitted through the air generated by the equipment under test operating at radio frequencies.
Tests include checks for electrostatic discharge, voltage surges, overvoltage, and voltage dips. During product development research, deviations from the specified test conditions may be allowed to study the product's performance in a broader and more complex environment.
When solving EMC problems, it is extremely important to understand how radiation from the source of interference interacts with the receiver of this interference. Influencing the communication path is an effective and often the only way to solve problems, since every electrical device is both a source of interference and a receiver.
