Comtest presents the end of dirt at EuCAP
Why would a manufacturer of antenna test chambers launch a hand gel for engineers? Unfortunately, many test chamber engineers suffer from particles leaking from absorbers. These particles not only cause a dirty working environment with the occasional smudgy lab coat, but they also contain hazardous chemicals.
Launch Radiated Immunity Testing Lab at EMV2024
From March 12-14, we will offer the opportunity to see and discuss the ideal measuring method for radiated immunity at EMV – international exhibition and conference/workshops on electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).
A policy for safety- our security team
This is our Production Manager, André Oostdam, in the middle of the photo with our company security team members Ron Ligtvoet and Sebastiaan Koopmans. That morning, they had a shocking experience when one of their colleagues passed out. But thanks to the skills of the BHV team (BedrijfsHulpVerlening – company emergency response measures), an ambulance was on site in no time.
ISO 11451-5 RC method for EMC full-vehicle testing
In this preview of the 20-minute presentation from February 6 for Rohde & Schwarz, Comtest R&D Engineer Dimitrios Barakos outlines the latest updates of the new ISO 11451-5 Reverberation Chamber (RC) method for EMC automotive testing and highlights the basic steps required to enable full vehicle testing in a reverberation chamber.
The Thursday Gevulde-Koek, a very tasty tradition
As a family-owned company, we like traditions. For example, the Thursday Gevulde-Koek tradition we have kept up since we were founded in 1985! A rough estimate brings that to an astounding 35.100 cookies! We asked our colleague Gerco van Diemen how he got involved.
SAC & FAR testing requirements per the CISPR16 standards
Is 3-metre SAC-testing in a 2-metre volume within standards? Our experts, Uliana Trucchi and Dmitriy Penkin, will inform you about the sometimes confusing chamber design criteria for major standards (CISPR16, CISPR25 and ETSI) in three different posts. This week: Semi Anechoic Chamber (SAC) & Fully Anechoic Room (FAR) testing requirements per the CISPR16 standards.
Comtest goes on tour through Asia
After receiving several requests to share knowledge, Bas de Groot and Dimitrios Barakos decided to plan a tour through Asia with their friends from Rohde & Schwarz to help companies handling the new ISO11451-5 & ISO 11452-11 standards for automotive testing in reverberation chambers.
New NSIL validation method for testing under 30 MHz
Does your test chamber meet the new Normalized Site Insertion Loss (NSIL) validation method for testing under 30 MHz? The demand for certified radiated emission testing at low frequencies has surged, particularly due to the introduction of wireless battery charging solutions for vehicles. We asked our specialist, R&D Engineer Dmitriy Penkin, why this could be an issue for automotive companies with a testing chamber.
