	 EMC test is a critical discipline in
any electronic product development
effort. Full compliance is the ultimate
goal, but achieving it quickly and with
minimal budget and schedule impact
requires EMC debug efforts throughout
the design process. These efforts must
be combined with effective pre-compliance strategies.
Applicable equipment includes EMI
receivers, amplifiers, field generators,
and complete EMC test systems as well
as general-purpose instruments with
applicability to EMC test. Software has
several roles to play, ranging from simulation tools to applications that can serve in
the test lab. Augmenting instruments and
systems are probes and other accessories.
According to Dean Landers, applications engineer at AR RF/Microwave
Instrumentation, "We serve every aspect
of the EMC test market, providing the
total solution for EMC testing. Whether
it's design, pre-compliance, or full compliance, we can offer solutions through both
test systems and special equipment packages to meet the needs of the customer."
Landers said the company has recently
introduced its AA Series solid-state field
generators, which he described as a costeffective solution for testing radiated susceptibility above 18 GHz (18 to 40 GHz)
at test levels of up to 50 V/m at a 1-m test
distance.
When asked what applications areas
AR serves, Landers said the company
can assist customers in meeting the
