EMC Testing for Automotive

Automotive EMC TESTING Overview

Today’s automotive systems contain many more active electronic components than in the past. Those components and assemblies may emit RF noise or be affected by external sources of energy. This can result in unanticipated changes in system operation.

Most of today’s vehicle rely on active devices, microprocessors, and vehicle communication networks for control of vehicle functions, entertainment systems and legislated requirements such as tire pressure monitoring. Because complex control systems require a high degree of robustness EMC testing for systems and components is critical to insure proper operation.
