EMI and EMC Testing

With almost 40,000 sq. ft. of space, the new testing facility for ESL Labs provides room to accommodate this state-of-the-art EMI/EMC testing capability. 

The EMI semi-anechoic chamber is 9.68 m (L) x 6.53 m (W) x 6.00 m (H) with a 2m diameter turntable and 2000 kg capacity. This advanced Frankonia EMI chamber means ESL Labs can perform MIL-STD-461G testing on a variety of product sizes. The EMI chamber is comprised of anechoic cones and ferrite tiles to absorb electromagnetic radiation and to prevent any reflections from the walls, ceiling, or floor, creating a perfectly isolated testing environment. 

The large size of the ESL chamber allows for tremendous flexibility when making decisions on what kind of test instrumentation can be used. Common testing instrumentation includes EMI receivers, signal generators, high-power RF amplifier racks, low frequency test sets, and high bandwidth digital oscilloscopes.

EMI Testing Capabilities

Our EMI and EMC testing services provide critical benchmarks for industries that require compliance with strict electromagnetic compatibility standards. ESL Labs serves customers across a range of sectors, including aerospace, defense, and commercial applications. Our EMI chamber testing capabilities cover:
