Adapted from the course syllabus for ECE 319 - Electromagnetic Compatibility, Section I developed by Mark Steffka at the University of Michigan-Dearborn Equipment for Setting up a Simple, Inexpensive EMC LabAssuming an oscilloscope is available, a minimal EMC Lab can be set up with the following additional equipment.Spectrum Analyzer: Rigol DSA 815-TG Spectrum Analyzer (9 kHz to 1. 5 GHz), $1,500. The $600 EMI option is not required. (http://www.rigolna.com/products/spectrum-analyzers/dsa800/dsa815-tg/) Clamp-On Current Probe: Fischer Custom Communications F-33-1, $1,200, for measuring common-mode currents on cables. (http://www.fischercc.com/productfiles/DS%20F-33-1%20Rev--RLSE_2a5d.pdf) Magnetic Field Loop Probes: Beehive Electronics Model 100A for measuring magnetic fields in the vicinity of PCBs, and Model 100C for measuring leakage at the seams of shielded enclosures, $100 each. (http://beehive-electronics.com/datasheets/100SeriesDatasheetCurrent.pdf) If conducted emissions on the ac power line are to be measured then a Line Impedance Stabilization Network (LISN) is needed: Solar Electronics Type 8012-50-R-24-BNC Dual LISN, ~$800. (http://www.ramayes.com/Data%20Files/Solar/8012.pdf) In addition, a couple hundred dollars of miscellaneous cables and adaptors will probably be required. The total cost for the basic lab is slightly over $3,000, and if the capability to measure conducted emissions on the ac power line is to be added, the total cost still comes to under $5,000.
