EMC, or electromagnetic compatibility, refers to a wide range of tests and measurements done to ensure electronic devices function in harmony, without interference from wireless radio communications or by being connected to the same power grid. In this case, conducted and radiated emissions both refer to electromagnetic interference (EMI) emitted from a device. Though EMI is a complex and technical topic, the difference between the two types of emissions is straightforward.

Instruments like a spectrum analyzer will rely on a high dynamic range to cut through unwanted artifacts. Harmonics and intermodulation can rise above the noise floor and hurt the performance of a spectrum analyzer. Understanding the parameters that make up dynamic range can not only help to ensure a spectrum analyzer is working correctly, but also offers key information on all instruments which should meet ITU guidelines.

Today we will be going over how to operate and demo an Advanced Amplifier. Then we will look at the control software interface. By the end of this video we will be connected to a simulated load and control it using remote control software.

The International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection, ICNIRP, has revised its recommendation for limit values in connection with human safety in electric, magnetic, and electromagnetic fields that were published in 1998. The revision, entitled RF EMF GUIDELINES 2020, was published in March. In particular, the mid-frequency range, i.e. frequencies in the kHz range are affected by the revision. These guidelines will now go through the process of incorporation into national laws.   

The difference between SONET and SDH can get a little confusing because so many people struggle with appropriately distinguishing their differences. Both SONET and SDH are sets of standards used to test fiber optic connections and networks. However, these two sets of tests are designed for specific countries and their unique standards.

Bit error rate testers are used to find disruptions in connections, determine what causes them, and prevent future disruption. Bit error rate (BER) is the number of bit errors per unit time. The results are expressed as a ratio, converted into a percentage.

By the end of this video you will have a clear understanding of what temperature forcing systems (TFS) and environmental chambers are capable of and how you can benefit from them. 

Richard with Advanced Test Equipment Rentals here to remind you of the importance of measuring and monitoring particle levels, pollutant levels, humidity and dew points as well as other indoor air quality characteristics in warehouses, labs, cleanrooms, or any working environment.

Learn the basics of Fiber Optic inspection and testing using the ODM TTK 650 for single mode fiber.

What are ESD Guns? In this video you will learn the importance of an Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Simulator/Gun and the standards for which these devices test. 

Substation preventive and predictive maintenance is one of the important task for asset managers and power system operators. In this presentation, substation assets such as transformers, circuit breakers, batteries and current transformers will be discussed.

Testing of power transformers is important for the manufacturers and end users. Manufacturers need to be certain their units are meeting the desired specifications, while end users need to perform regular maintenance procedures to detect minor fault symptoms before timely and costly failures occur. Learn more by watching this informational presentation.

Taking reliable, repeatable, broad-spectrum measurements are stressed in three areas - computational limits, narrow band focus and unpredictable transients. All three problems can be easily identified and solved with new capabilities in today’s modern FFT-based receiver technology.

Electrical safety testers – often referred to as “hipot” testers get their name from the high-potential (high voltage) they produce to perform dielectric withstand and insulation resistance tests. These testers are an integral part of electrical and electronic equipment manufacturing since electrical safety testing and certification is a requirement for virtually every electronic device and electrical apparatus.
