Based on what I witnessed during testing the areas that produced the most noise were around the PCBs (the two that seemed the worst pertain to the camera). The test engineer used a "sniffer probe" and those areas seemed to produce the highest levels on the spectrum analyzer. Problem is the...
Thanks again for the feedback. You're correct, some of the things I have applied so far are basically quick fixes that have been a shot in the dark. Seeing as though my expertise is not EE work I was hoping a little common sense and basic logic would prevail. Unfortunately we fell just short and...
Just to follow up...
The company I work for would consider hiring an EE that has experience with this type of work, meaning EMI/EMC product testing. I haven't had any luck finding someone that fits these qualifications at this point.
Also, we did pass the conductive emissions test (7.6dB below...
First of all, thanks for the prompt feedback MacGyverS2000 and VE1BLL. Myself and the owner of the company realize we need to figure out the most efficient way to resolve this, even if that means hiring a consultant, so that dollars are not wasted on delays and testing. That said, we are real...
Believe me, I have been beating my head against a wall! I work for a pretty small company and we do not have an EE so it's been put in my lap. I understand resolving this quickly is out of my realm, so any suggestions on where we can find a consulting EE? We're located about 2.5 hours away from...
I'm working on a book scanner product which contains several PCBs and a variety of cables and connectors. We recently submitted our product for ETL testing and failed the radiative emissions portion. I am a Mechanical Designer so my electrical knowledge is limited. We have incorporated shielded...
