Automatic component immunity testing

Schaffner EMC Ltd. has launched a series of test packages designed to test automotive components against the RF test specifications contained in ISO 11452 and SAE J1113. Each package is self-contained and complies with the highest test level specified in each standard. Significant cost savings can be made when testing to more than one standard as many of the items are common to all test packages. The article looks at the variety of RF test methods and parameters that are called up in the vehicle manufacturers' requirements, and shows how a test system can be put together using Schaffner's Profline 5000 systems to carry out just those tests that are needed, and to create reports in just the format asked for.
