An aircraft’s environment is everything. It needs air to provide lift, it needs to stay aloft in the rain and heavy winds, and it needs to endure lightning strikes.

Elite has the distinction of being one of only two test labs the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) accepts as a third-party certifier of critical airfield

Anyone visiting an airport has seen the constellation of lights on the airfield. Runway and taxiway lights, obstruction lights, approach lights, beacons, and more.

At Elite, we test electrical and electronic products to ensure they operate reliability in their end use environment.

Elite Electronic Engineering is excited to announce the installation of a new chassis dynamometer in its drive-in electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) chamber

Elite Electronic Engineering has provided testing services to industry for more than 65 years.

June 23, 2022 is International Women in Engineering Day (IWE Day). This event was initiated by the Women’s Engineering Society and has been celebrated globally

Elite’s Dynamics Lab is among the largest and most capable in North America. The recent expansion with more shakers, larger capacity, and more efficient operation

Elite Electronic Engineering has been active in the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Society

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.
