Many product designs have hit problems due to an inadequate understanding of this. The most recent example of this was the delay to the launch of the Raspbeen-USTelligent Community 12https://community.element14.com/members-area/personalblogs/b/blog/posts/electromagnetic-compatibility-emc---a-brief-for-electronic-engineersMon, 07 Oct 2013 19:09:58 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:20fc3917-ec49-448c-a956-7ae77e79b64bDAB1<p>I agree.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The tremendous increase in RF emitting devices has made the EM environement much more complicated than it used to be.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>When you look at the cheap designs for a lot of the WiFi equipment you wonder what their test environment looked like.&nbsp; They clearly did not look beyond TXT and RCV signal strengths.&nbsp; The Harmonic distortions some of these devices emit is unbelievable.&nbsp; It is a wonder that no one has tied an accident to these devices.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If I worked in explosives, I would want a full Faraday cage around my remote detonators just to make sure there are no unintended booms.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I hope your post alerts more people to these issues so that we can get more testing on these devices.&nbsp; The current accepted practice is rediculous.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>DAB</p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=16711&AppID=293&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">
