EMI/EMC pre-compliance on cheap
2024-09-20, 14:30–15:00 (Europe/Belgrade), Pupin

EMC testing is essential to get a certification of Electromagnetic Emission and Immunity test before launching the product in the market. However, actual EMC tests are pretty expensive. Before going for the actual EMC test, the product should test in EMC pre-compliance test Lab. Pre-compliance testing will mimic all tests performed at EMI/EMC test labs to ensure the device will pass the EMI/EMC compliance test. Compliance test labs are very costly and difficult to pass; the pre-compliance testing cost is cheaper than the actual cost of EMI/EMC compliance test labs and will give approximately the same result.
I will talk about equipment I bought or created to do simple pre-complience testing. Talk will cover testing of different near field probes, creating simple chamber from microwave, doing measurements in basement with TV antenna. I will also show emard idea about creating pyramidal shape chamber that would by the calculations absorb and not reflect most of the signals...

Goran Mahovlić (electronics tech) worked for years in repair shop for informatics and bank equipment. Moved on to a developer for low power wireless technologies (LoRA/nbIOT) and measuring systems. Currently self employed in Intergalaktik d.o.o. working on opensource HW solutions, mostly FPGA boards. With constant urge to take apart any device within reach and find out it’s secrets, Goran is equally successful at hardware and software hacking, from cheap products, up cycling old tech, to serious work in technology and microprocessor development. He is a tech coordinator at Radiona. In past, Goran led a number of accomplished workshop and presentations, regular member of Radiona projects and exhibitions, lead and founder of Radiona SmartZG network. Among his work is founding the Lemilica.com portal, for which he writes.
