The aim of the Electromagnetic Compatibility testing facility (EMC) is to
produce electronic systems that have all undesired emissions reduced to a
minimum and, have a 'designed-in' immunity to all external influences.
The EMC facility provides 'on-site' electromagnetic surveys to individual
customer requirements. These surveys are needed in order to obtain a complete
ambient profile of the electromagnetic environment - an essential prerequisite
to the installation of any specialised facility.
The Edinburgh based military and aerospace EMC facility is UKAS accredited and
provides a comprehensive service associated with all aspects of achieving
compliance with customer EMC requirements. We can provide formal EMC test plans
and at the completion of formal testing a comprehensive test report is issued
under our UKAS approval.
Key features:
- 8.1m x 5.4m x 3.5m Anechoic test chamber with separate control room
- Extensive experience enabling provision of advice in design of appropriate
test plans.
- Wide range of test gear
- UKAS accredited for major aerospace and military tests
- Power line surge, swell and interrupt testing (some limitations)
- Site electromagnetic surveys.
The facility is equipped to participate at all stages; from project definition,
design and development phases, through to full qualification test programmes.
During design and development programmes, the provision of test assessment data
on prototype models or structures forms a valuable contribution to the design
process by the timely identification of potential problem areas.
Similarly, during equipment update programmes, the early assessment and
evaluation of trial modifications is the most cost-effective way to achieve
specified objectives.
