RF Chambers, EMC, and EMI

All electric and electronic devices inevitably generate unwanted interference or radiation. As these devices are increasingly used in close proximity, it becomes crucial for them to function without interfering with one another or being affected by other devices.

This critical characteristic is known as Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC). To ensure proper functional operation, devices should emit limited electromagnetic radiation and possess immunity to a certain level of it, both radiated and conducted. These aspects are further discussed as Emissions (EMI) and Immunity (EMS).

Radio Frequency (RF) testing plays a vital role in analyzing the ability of devices to operate as intended when in proximity to other electronic counterparts.
