Electromagnetic Effects Testing

Electromagnetic Effects Testing
The 14000-square foot test facility features four test chambers, a full complement of EMC test equipment, and large staging and assembly areas.

Electromagnetic Effects testing includes EMC testing, RF Shielding Effectiveness testing and testing in Natural and simulated Space Environments. Special EMC test facilities and equipment are available.
