EMC test facility is
upgraded for the future
Amplicon has made a significant investment in its EMC test facility to meet its future business needs
Set up over 10 years ago in East Sussex, the facility is now being used in areas that were never previously envisaged. The company's comprehensive EMC knowledge plays a key role in its ability to provide robust compliant solutions. Improvements include increasing the RF field immunity up to 3GHz with a 20V/m field, allowing Amplicon to meet the requirements of customers selling into the rail industry, together with the capacity to over-test standard industrial products destined for more demanding environments.

Amplicon has signed up to use the Schroff Varistar cabinet range for its industrial rack-mount computer and storage server ranges
The most complex enhancement was to provide the ability to measure a radiated electric field up to 18GHz.
The semi-anechoic chamber was fitted with high frequency absorption panels, overlaying the existing ferrite tiles, and a state-of-the-art CISPR16-1 compliant scanning receiver, horn aerial and cable upgrade completed the capability to provide this measurement capability.
Although the facility is used for precompliance testing, Amplicon firmly believes in the ethos of over-testing to best achieve conformance, so all new equipment also had to meet this requirement, while offering a high degree of future proofing.
Amplicon's engineers have completed the exacting task of commissioning and validating the test results from the upgrades, with initial testing looking at results from equipment analysed by a notified body, and comparing them with the use of calibrated high-frequency reference noise sources.
Ongoing use of the facility will allow the company to build up historical data, providing further substantiation for customers.
Amplicon's EMC facility is a member of the EMC Industry Association (EMCIA).
