Trace Laboratories provides EMC testing and consulting services to the Electronics, Medical Equipment, Automotive, Aerospace, Computer, Telecommunications, and other industries. They are an A2LA certified test facility, capable of testing electronic equipment to today's high frequency requirements. Trace's three-meter semi-anechoic chamber can perform full scan radiated emission testing at frequencies up to 40 GHz. Using absorbing material to cover the reflected ground plane in the semi-anechoic chamber, they can perform radiated immunity testing at frequencies of up to 40 GHz and field intensities of up to 200 V/m. The facility utilizes state-of-the-art instrumentation and automated testing to provide accurate, reliable, and consistent test results.

Custom Testing Services
Trace's custom testing service capabilities are put into action with one phone call. Trace works with each customer to define specific test requirements, and keeps the customer involved throughout the testing process by providing regular updates. In addition, the customer has the opportunity to observe the testing as it is being performed. Trace will provide test results and a thorough explanation of what the results mean. Their engineering staff is prepared to assist you with design recommendations and concise test reports.

Boresighting
As system clock speeds increase, the upper-end frequency that must be tested also increases. EMC is now often tested up to 40 GHz. The FCC requires testing of frequencies through the 5th harmonic of the highest clock frequency. At these frequencies, the test antennas must be tilted, or boresighted towards the product to accurately measure the emissions. Trace's automated tower can be used in either conventional or boresight mode to provide the most accurate and repeatable test results.

Trace's semi-anechoic chamber meets the normalized site attenuation requirements of ANSI C63.4 and the field uniformity requirements of EN 61000-4-3.
