Radiated Emissions

Within the field of EMC, the term Radiated Emissions refers to the unintentional release of electromagnetic energy from an electronic device or apparatus. Any electronic device may generate Electromagnetic fields that unintentionally propagate away from the device’s structure. In general, Radiated Emissions are usually associated with non-intentional radiators, but intentional radiators can also have unwanted emissions at frequencies outside their intended transmission frequency band.

No electrical product or installation can be designed seriously unless all aspects of EMC are taken into account. This is not only important for common products such as radios, television sets, computers, telephones, washing machines, etc., but it is also especially important for complex products such as vehicles, aircraft, ships and large industrial installations. These are very sensitive to EMC problems and no one wants to accept serious disturbances within a big chemical plant. So it is important to employ a test strategy!
Every country requires all electronic products to be compliant with conducted and radiated emissions EMC standards, we would strongly recommend that compliance should be checked as an iterative test process, i.e. don’t wait until a product is launched before starting testing, as change at this stage could be extremely costly and could also result in long shipment delays and lost orders.
