EMI/EMC Performance
Soft Compliance
Failure in EMI/EMC chamber tests generally leads to costly and lengthy design modifications/iterations.

We help the board designers to detect and correct EMI/EMC related design flaws early in the
life-cycle when their PCB and schematic design is ready on computer. The soft-compliance is based
on a simulation driven approach where a 3D solver evaluates EMI/EMC performance of various circuit
blocks/PCB nets. This points out the culprit nets which may require PCB re-routing / hardware
design fine-tuning in respective CAD files. This therefore leads to fast design iteration enhancing EMI/
EMC performance early in design cycle, in a more cost-effective way.

The figure below depicts a real life case based on evaluation of a proof of concept Blue-tooth
application board. The above soft-compliance approach correctly points to the culprit nets exhibiting
higher than allowed radiation levels. The culprit nets were then re-routed on computer to resolve the
problem in a speedy manner.
Bulk Current Injection
Soft Compliance
Generally designers face problems in anticipating EMI/EMC performance of their units during Bulk
Current Injection tests (BCI). This is due to the impact of various external factors involved in such
test viz:

Electrically long wire harnesses

Multi-wire bundles
Impedance mismatch at terminations
Probe-loading effects

Conventional approach involves physical testing to expose required design improvements, leading to
length/costly design iterations.

To expedite identification/corrections of design flaws (which otherwise would lead to non-compliance

during a BCI test) early in a design cycle, we offer soft compliance services based on a simulation
approach. Designer can share with us the target test-norms (outlining details of the target test set-up)
to avail our soft compliance services. This also requires prior discussions with the design teams.
