Testing marine equipment involves simulating the harsh environment typical for recreational craft and onboard commercial ship applications.

Whether on land or sea, electromagnetic interference (EMI) is there. We know EMI affects electronic equipment, wireless devices, and land-based vehicles

Vessels on open water, whether on a small lake or the open sea, are equipped with electronics designed to keep them safe: communications gear, navigation tools

It’s all good. You began with Steps 1 – 2 and moved through Steps 3 - 6. You defined your product’s market, drafted a test plan, built and tested prototypes

Among Elite’s talented engineering staff, a common thread is an interest in learning and professional growth.

A whole vehicle – car, truck, tractor, whatever – can be EMC tested. As described in Elite’s previous blog on whole-vehicle EMC testing, electric vehicles (EVs)

It’s no secret that every generation of motor vehicles is more reliant on electronics for safe and economical operation.

Electric vehicles (EVs) are not the future – they are now. Awareness of EVs is at an all-time high and you may already own one, like Elite’s Robert Bugielski.

Vehicles come in different shapes. Cars and trucks, of course, but also forklifts, buses, tractors, fire engines, and more.

Early on a subzero winter morning you prepare to leave for work. The car in the garage starts easily, quickly warming and settling into idle speed.

Elite’s Robert Bugielski wears many hats. One of those is serving as the local authority on electric vehicles (EVs).

In the conclusion of Elite’s transient testing series, Tom Klouda and Tom Braxton review the family of magnetic-field and damped-wave immunity tests.

COVID continued to be a challenge in 2021 and limited access to our lab. Travel, while allowed, can be a trying experience and we have innovated to deliver

Electrostatic Discharges (ESD) are everywhere. We feel them when we reach for a doorknob, a car-door handle, or pull off a sweater.

Elite Electronic Engineering has a long history of commitment, not just to the industry it’s been part of for 67 years, but also to the local and global community.

This month, we celebrate our Senior EMC Test Technician Craig Bowes as he moves on to retirement at the end of the year.

Responding to customers’ growing needs, Elite has invested in a BIG way with new Vibration and Shock Testing equipment.

When lightning strikes, it can cause damaging electrical surges near and far. Are your electronic devices protected from surges on power and signal cables?

While we feature a complete blog series on electrical transients, the technical team at Elite is also continuing our companion series on mechanical shock transients.

Large equipment is switched on and off all the time, and when that happens the power line sputters with bursts of pulses.

The weeks and months pass quickly at this time of year. The days are transient things, popping on the calendar and vanishing before we notice.

Fixturing can make or (literally) break a test, so we take it very seriously at Elite. During Dynamics, Vibration, and Shock Testing, the device under test (DUT)

Our testing and certification accreditations have been expanded and renewed after completing our recent assessment with A2LA.

There are important regulatory deadlines approaching, so review the compliance of your products to make sure they are up-to-date with changing European Union and UK

Elite’s Over-the-Air (OTA) measurements of TRP and TIS can improve and optimize an IoT device for range, reliability, and battery life.

Cellular radio modules are fast becoming the preferred choice for Wireless IoT connectivity. They provide excellent reach, coverage, and robust security.

Elite’s Automotive EMC Testing team has successfully completed the lab approval process to become the first and only approved Mazda EMC test laboratory in the USA.

More than $3 billion is allocated each year for airport infrastructure projects through the FAA Airport Improvement Program (AIP).
