Applus+ RA enhances EMC testing thanks to its new reverberation chamber in Shanghai

To aid manufacturers in the compliance of high automotive safety and quality standards, Applus+ Reliable Analysis has recently invested in a new reverberation chamber for its Shanghai lab. 

Reverberation methods have continuously proven to optimize testing in the automotive industry. This approach has several advantages over traditional anechoic chambers. Starting with their inherent homogeneity and evenness that enable continuous measurement and test results. This is especially helpful for high-frequency trends, since reverberation chambers allow for a more comprehensive EMC performance analysis of automotive parts.

The Shanghai laboratory is backed up by the SMART™ (Statistical modal average reverberation test site) technical scheme from ETS-Lindgren, a comprehensive solution provider with a superior compatibility. The reverberation chamber measures 4.88 m (L) x 7.20 m (W) x 3.30 m (H) and uses rotating blades and tuners, resulting in an exclusion zone for 2.5m (L) x 1.6m (W) x 1.0m (H).

Applus+ Laboratories’ capabilities ensure that EMC requirements can be tested, independently of the preferred method for each OEM. Find out more about our EMC testing services or get in contact with our sales team.
