The option to rent rather than purchase EMC testing equipment is a very smart choice for companies of all sizes. Even with larger companies that are using testing equipment frequently, renting offers the option of choosing the right system for the job without having to try to work with the limitations of the in-house testing equipment.
EMC or electromagnetic compatibility is becoming increasingly more important as more and more devices and systems are using and generating radio frequencies and electromagnetic signals. This not only includes phones and computers, but it also includes components in vehicles, fridges, Bluetooth compatible appliances and any number of other applications.
It is essential for new components, devices or equipment to be fully tested and to meet specific industry standards. By using the right EMC testing equipment in-house, it is much more effective to make adjustments and ensure the entire system will pass.

As with electronics and components, EMC testing equipment continues to evolve to meet industry standards as well as specific testing requirements. By using a rental company that can provide support in selecting the right equipment for your testing needs you are always current and providing the most accurate results, even when doing the tests in-house and with your own team.
To rent the correct testing equipment for a specific application, it will be essential to know the power range of the device being tested. Different equipment will require different testing configurations, various antennas and the ability to operate and test given the highest possible output of electromagnetic radiation possible during the test.
Another important consideration in the choice of the specific equipment is the capacity of the absorbers. Like the antenna, these components are matched to the possible electromagnetic radiation that may be present in the testing facility. Incorrectly matching these can damage equipment and invalidate the results.
