EMI/EMC/HIRF/Indirect Lightning Analysis

Dealing with electromagnetic interference (EMI) appropriately can be one of the most problematic design challenges to modern product development. When proper electromagnetic compatibility design practices have not been implemented in the design process, the significant impact will be seen both in the functional reliability and the product’s inability to properly co-exist in its intended usage environment.

NTS heps their customers proactively address these issues by providing them with some of the most experienced subject matter experts in the field of EMC, including HIRF and indirect lightning. These subject matter experts cover every aspect of the equation, such as regulatory requirements, product design, EMI-control materials, and pre-compliance testing to ensure that the final development process takes all of these critical aspects into consideration.

Primary EMC Specifications Include:

GR-1089-CORE, RBOC Supplements (Verizon & AT&T), EN300-386, CISPR 32 and 35, EN55024, EN61000-4-x, MIL-STD-461/462, mil-std-464MIL-STD-704, MIL-STD-1275, MIL-STD-1399 section 300, RTCA DO-160, FCC, VCCI, BSMI, IC ICES-003, IEEE C37.90.1, IEEE C37.90.2, ETSI K20, K21, EN 301 489-01, -xx, AS/NZS CISPR 22, CISPR 22, CISPR 11, Korea EMI and EMS.
