All,I am trying to locate a particular high voltage insulating grease or gel.   I am unable to identify the manufacturer and ty‎pe.   The only description I can give at this point is the appearance which is green in color with an iridescent sheen. It looks much like automotive antifreeze fluid onl

In another life I tried the 60cm absorber for the S-VSWR test and had major problems around 1-2GHz, in the end they were replaced with larger absorber. The issue was the ground and ceiling reflection between the two antennas wasn’t being properly attenuated by the smaller cones (looking back it

We purchased our absorber material many years ago now, so things maybe different than it was then. We were told that the absorber material most labs were using for 61000-4-3 testing above 1Ghz was “Too Tall” to be used for S-VSWR verification. So we worked with TDK who recommended a shorter abs

Dear Members, Does anyone have an experience using the same type/model of the absorbers to meet both S-VSWR and 61000-4-3 field uniformity requirements? I was told different type/model of the absorbers must be used. Is this true? Thank you very much. Best regards, Grace Lin -

I can across this European Commission document on spare parts this week. It maybe of interest. I believe it states that for EMC Directive OEM parts do not require a DoC ergo no CE mark. Google "APPLICATION OF EMC DIRECTIVE AND/OR EMC VEHICLE DIRECTIVE TO AFTERMARKET EQUIPMENT" http://www.googl

It depends on which directives apply to the product/components. The Machinery Direct is clear that partly complete machinery is not to carry a CE mark to avoid confusion when it's integrated with the complete system. Partly completed machinery should be accompanied by a DoI.However if your
