EMC / EMI Precompliance Testing

Using EMC precompliance testing in your hardware development process can help you avoid costly and time-consuming redesigns after EMC compliance testing failure. By combining a Signal Hound spectrum analyzer, an antenna, some EMC probes and our Spike software, you can monitor the electromagnetic interference of your devices during the entire design/build process.

Why use a Signal Hound for EMC / EMI Precompliance Testing?

Economical

Starting at just $3600 USD (for the BB60C) or $15,550 (for the SM200B), high-performance at this price is unheard of. Downsize your R&D and testing budgets without compromising performance.

Optimized

The BB60-series and SM-series analyzers provide real-time spectrum analysis with overlapping FFTs for highly accurate sensing.

Convenient

No more big boxes taking up your workspace. A Signal Hound spectrum is small enough to fit in the small back-corner of your workbench, unobtrusive and out of the way.

Supported

We love our products, and we know you will too. We want you to be successful with your device no matter where you are, so we offer our customers full support as fast as we are able.

Glen Gassaway of Southwest EMI Reviews Our EMC Precompliance Testing Module

The EMI precompliance industry is a complex and challenging space, so while designing the EMC precompliance testing tools for our Spike software we knew we needed to verify the features with somebody who really knows what they’re talking about. Glen Gassaway of Southwest EMI in Arizona was one of the first people we thought of. We sent the unit to Glen, and anxiously awaited the feedback.

The verdict? Well, how does this sound?:

“Throughout the evaluation, I had absolutely no issue with the software hanging up or lagging. All measurements I took seemed very reasonable. The EMC module is well written and easy to learn. Honestly I wish I had more time in the lab to play with the unit!”

What can a Signal Hound do for you?

Test your hardware design

The BB60-series / SM-series analyzers and EMC precompliance software is great for troubleshooting your design long before official precompliance testing.

Save money

Reduce the risk of failure at costly EMC test labs by using the BB60 / SM-series analzyer to perform precompliance testing on your device before sending it out for official EMC testing.

Save time (Time-to-Market)

Increase the chances of your device passing the first time at an EMC test lab.
