 PRESS
RELEASE
York EMC Services Ltd develops next generation EMC Tools
York EMC Services, University of York, UK, working in conjunction
with Intel Corporation’s Desktop Platform Architecture group, have developed
new technology that will make it easier for manufacturers of computer
enclosures to test for emissions. These Comb Generator Emitters, two
years in the making, pave the way for a new, easier testing methodology
to be used for evaluating the shielding effectiveness required to meet
FCC and international emissions regulations.
Using this new technology, manufacturers will be able to test for
emissions shielding performance without having to build a complete system,
since the Comb Generator Emitters can simulate the emissions of a complete
system before the availability of key system components. This alleviates
the risk and cost associated with last minute testing and possible modifications
that are costly from a financial and schedule perspective.
Covering today’s systems with processor clock frequencies in excess
of 1+GHz as well as future systems using processors in the 3GHz range,
this technology truly creates a unique opportunity for evaluating EMC
performance in advance of the availability of actual high frequency
components.
The CGE01 100MHz – 12GHz Comb Generator Emitter was primarily developed
for the evaluation of shielding effectiveness for small enclosures,
particularly computer enclosures where radiated emissions are above
1GHz.
The CGE02 Comb Generator Emitter to be commercially available Q1 2003
and extends the frequency range to 25GHz.
In a different vein York EMC Services Ltd is pleased to introduce
its new Harmonics & Flicker Generator (HFG01) to the US market.
This has been designed by York EMC Services Ltd for the purpose of verifying
Harmonic and Flicker Test Equipment used to test equipment to IEC 61000-3-2/3.
Information will also be available at COMDEX on the YES Ltd internationally
established Comparison Noise Emitter (CNE) range. These broadband continuous
output reference sources cover the frequency range 9KHz to 7GHz, are
used by EMC test laboratories for the all important pre-test checks
and also in the role of a transfer standard.
York EMC Services Ltd is a UK Department of Trade and Industry appointed
European Competent Body and is a Conformity Assessment Body under the
US/EU EMC Mutual Recognition agreement (MRA). YES Ltd and the University
of York have an international reputation as providers of EMC Education
and training; specialising in in-house bespoke training.
Other services which YES Ltd can offer specifically to the US Market
is consultancy on Product Approvals (CE Marking) in Europe.This can
be backed up by testing in the UK.
York EMC Services Ltd (YES) and is a subsidiary company of the University
of York. YES is a provider of commercial EMC services. The Managing
Director of YES Ltd is Chris Marshman and the Technical Director is
Prof. Andy Marvin, also head of the Applied Electromagnetics Research
Group at the University of York.
YES Ltd was established in December 1995 and in addition to the services
mentioned it now operates state of the art EMC Test Facilities in Castleford,
West Yorkshire, and also in Donibristle near Edinburgh. These laboratories
have been accredited by UKAS to perform EMC Testing (UKAS 1574) and
appointed by the Civil Aviation Authority for EMC Testing of aeronautical
RF transmitting apparatus. YES Ltd is also a Department of Trade and
Industry appointed European Competent Body for the preparation and assessment
of Technical Construction Files (TCF). The Technical Construction File
is one of the routes for demonstrating compliance of Electrical/Electronic
equipment and systems with the provisions of the EMC Directive 89/336/EEC
and the implementing legislation.
