Practical Comparison of Individual EMC Requirements and Test Procedures
We're excited to have Scott Carlson as the speaker for our next EMC Society technical meeting of 2025! This meeting is open to all, including non-members, at no charge. Dinner will be provided. Registration is optional but will streamline visitor sign-in at the host site.
Abstract:
This discussion will provide detailed comparisons of individual requirements and test methods in MIL-STD-461 with available commercial (non-military) standards that are the most similar.
The differences in limits and test methodology will be identified, and their potential significance will be discussed.
Guidance is provided on judging the acceptability of a particular commercial standard for specific applications and if the testing conducted commercially can give an indication of compatibility to MIL-STD-461.
