At Elite, we perform numerous Automotive EMC tests for domestic and international OEMs. Our Senior EMC Engineer, Derrick Gabalewicz, explains some unique International EMC test requirements and how Elite meets the challenge.

The 2019 IEEE International Symposium on EMC+SIPI was held in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA, last week. Elite was there as an exhibitor and presenter to learn more about how technology advances in the electronics industry is driving new challenges for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) around the world.

With many more products incorporating cellular radios, it’s become essential for Elite to have the very best equipment in place to enable wireless connectivity for items under test. To support this growing need, Elite has put in place three CMW500 Radio Communication cellular base station emulators from Rohde & Schwarz.

Earlier this year the Ford EMC department issued a notice to its approved test labs that all RF radiated immunity testing shall be performed using the reverberation chamber method.

Paul Gates joined our Automotive EMC team in 2018 bringing a passion for all kinds of electronics. He builds gaming PCs in his spare time, and his surprising fact will have you seeing double.

If you’ve visited Elite, then it’s likely you’ve come to know them both. However, by only meeting them causally or by knowing them through their company roles, you’re missing the truly remarkable side of these women. That’s because at the heart of Elaine and Kathy are selfless passions for helping, caring, and giving to others.
