Applied Technical Services conducts EMI compliance testing to verify an electronic device’s industry compliance for electrostatic emissions. EMI testing, or electromagnetic interference testing, monitors a subject’s ability to operate in its normal environment without interfering with other electronic devices, vehicles, and equipment.
Testing Procedures
MIL-STD-461
This standard establishes electromagnetic testing procedures and limits for military equipment and subsystems. MIL-STD-461 determines the interface and verification requirements for electromagnetic interference emissions and the vulnerability characteristics of electromechanical equipment used by the US Department of Defense (DOD). Applied Technical Services performs electromagnetic testing in accordance with the following MIL-STD-461 sections:
- RE101
- RE102 (up to 18GHz)
- CE101
- CE102
- CS101
- CS114
- CS115
- CS116
- CS117
- CS118
- RS101
- RS103 (up to 18GHz and 200V/m)
MIL-STD-704
This electromagnetic testing standard establishes electric power requirements and characteristics for aircraft. Applied Technical Services conducts testing in accordance with the following MIL-STD-704 standards:
- LDC (28VDC)
- SAC (115V AC 400Hz single-phase)
- TAC (115V AC 400Hz three-phase)
RTCA-DO-160
This electromagnetic testing standard set by the Radio Technical Commission for Aeronautics (RTCA) and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) establishes the criteria for environmental aircraft testing. This standard applies to all sizes of aircraft in a variety of fields, including general aviation aircraft, commercial aircraft, and helicopters.
