The increasing integration of electronic systems in vehicles and their interaction with portable devices have made the development and validation of automotive products increasingly complex. In order to meet regulatory and industry standards for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), speed up the validation process and reduce development costs, manufacturers need to evaluate and ensure the reliability, safety and electromagnetic compatibility of electrical and electronic components from the design and concept stage.
