Hi All, I just posted a review of the new IPEVO Point 2 View Web camera on my site, under Technical Articles. For those who give equipment demos during their seminar presentations, this makes an ideal way to project the screens of test equipment, as well as showing closeups of circuit boards or

Hi All, I just posted reviews of Henry Ott's new book, Electromagnetic Compatibility Engineering (2009) on the Test Measurement World Web site (http://tmworld.com). I also included a lot more specific detail on my own Web (under Technical Articles). This practical book belongs on any product

Thanks Ken, Even if it is down to ~MHz it would be OK, I could even split it into two devices, one for conducted sand another for the radiated test range confidence checks, although I'd prefer one device to cover the whole range. The radiated range is by far more important to me.

Hi Neven, I'm unaware of commercial site sources that can get down to kHz, however, I should think that would be easy to build yourself. Just use poor EMC techniques (fast edge speeds, etc.)! I've also reviewed a couple of commercial harmonic comb generators by AET - one of which was just a

Hi folks, A while back I tested a light box that goes on the wall of a Dr's office. It's used for showing X-Ray films. I was asked to perform testing to EN60601-2, which we did. I have been asked to produce an EMC Certificate, but I must have missed where the requirements for this came from.

Reference RF Source - Recommendations/reviews?

(This ties to a previous thread on site comparison) I am considering getting a reference RF-source for two purposes: 1) Site/setup confidence check 2) Site comparison (by coupling it to a cabled-up DUT) My immediate interest is ~100 kHz up to 1-2 GHz, but I am also interested to use

Hello Mark – The reason for the lab giving you that advice makes sense if you are using a modular –approved wireless card and the device you are integrating the module into is a DoC device. Using the modular approval process is useful. In that case what the FCC allows you to do is use the
