EMC LIVE
MIL/AERO 2022

Have you ever wished to improve your accuracy AND reduce test times? Do measurement errors sometimes result in having to redo a whole day of testing? The growing complexity of electronic devices within both military and commercial products has led to a significant increase in failure rates during EMC conformance testing. Could your test lab benefit from modern EMI test solutions that may better help to troubleshoot failures?

This webinar presents 10 reasons that it might be time to update your current solution. These are practical reasons that are improving test results and test times, not new regulatory mandates. A wide range of topics is discussed including the benefits of modern EMI receivers, a variety of automation techniques to reduce everyday errors, plus a variety of advances in susceptibility testing.

This webinar is setup in 3 parts. At the beginning, the focus will be on where EMC Issues in emission can have its source.

This will be followed by information about several mitigations that can be easily combined. You will get information about using a PFC a which types are available, Filtering and its pitfalls, snubber, controlling mechanism, technologies like spread spectrum, and you will get an idea of what you have to be careful when creating the layout.

The seminar shows different approaches to meet the emission requirements using switched mode power supplies. Dependent on the reason of high emission, some mitigations may be more efficient than others, but in the end it won’t be one single mitigation, but a set of remedial actions necessary to meet the requirements.

Finally, this Seminar contains a life measurement to make it more vivid and to show the effect of common mode noise, caused by the coupling mechanism against a metallic structure and against PE.

This can be very tricky, as you very often do not see the “physical” connection, but over parasitics, this coupling mechanism causes problems.

If you have further question, you will have the chance to ask questions afterwards.

AR has put together a group of standard systems based on popular test standards. These standard systems often act as a starting point for defining customized systems based on many inputs including: the multiple tests that may need to be performed, the test environment available, customer preferences of equipment, test methods, budgets, etc. 

This presentation will discuss the process of defining custom systems that not only meet the minimum requirements but maximize performance and customer satisfaction.

The common mode choke is a critical component in electromagnetic interference filtering. The magnetic material selected is commonly overlooked and is often not evaluated against application requirements. This webinar investigates the relationship between magnetic material properties and filtering performance. Multiple materials and winding configurations were tested across frequency and temperature. Test results are provided, analyzed, and compared with material property curves. The results provide a deeper understanding of magnetic materials enabling component optimization.
