As the world embraces the rollout of 5G, the landscape of Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) and safety testing is undergoing significant changes. With 5G technology introducing higher frequencies and new modulation techniques, the complexity of EMC testing has increased, presenting new challenges for manufacturers and companies with electronic products. In this blog post, we’ll explore the implications of these advancements and how C-PRAV, our global test and certification company, is equipped to help businesses navigate this evolving terrain.
The Complexity of EMC Testing in the 5G Era
5G technology operates at much higher frequencies compared to previous generations, reaching up to 100 GHz and beyond. These higher frequencies require more sophisticated testing equipment and methodologies to ensure that electronic devices meet stringent regulatory standards. Additionally, 5G utilizes advanced modulation techniques such as beamforming and massive MIMO (Multiple Input, Multiple Output), which further complicate the EMC testing process.
Implications for Manufacturers and Companies
The transition to 5G brings several challenges for manufacturers and companies developing electronic products:
Advanced Testing Requirements: The need for advanced testing protocols to measure emissions and immunity at higher frequencies and under new modulation schemes.
Regulatory Compliance: Ensuring products comply with global regulatory standards, which are continually evolving to keep pace with technological advancements.
Product Development: Incorporating EMC considerations early in the design phase to avoid costly redesigns and delays in product launches.
