G-YWLLBNZV3B Y.I.C. Technologies | Providing EMC Testing Solutions

Half of all products fail EMC testing the first time — but that’s about to change.

A significant percentage of products fail to meet EMC certification requirements on their first attempt. With the high cost of formal testing, the need for pre-compliance evaluations can put a serious strain on budgets — especially when factoring in the time engineers and designers spend diagnosing the root causes of EMC issues.

The key to reducing both cost and delay is early-stage EMC testing.
Y.I.C. Technologies’ Scanning Solutions offer a cost-effective and time-efficient alternative to traditional chamber or probe-based testing methods, helping teams identify and resolve issues earlier in the design cycle

Together with Y.I.C. product solutions, the EMViewer software enables users to easily pinpoint EMC challenges through different modes of operations.

The Importance of EMC Pre-Compliance Testing

1. Dramatically Reduce the Risk of Test Failure
Pre-compliance scans identify radiated and conducted emissions issues early, where they’re far easier (and cheaper) to fix. Solving a problem on the bench costs a fraction of fixing it after a formal chamber failure.
2. Save Significant Time and Money
A single failed chamber day can cost $5k–$10k once you factor in retests, delays, travel, and engineering time. Pre-compliance equipment helps you avoid these unnecessary expenses by catching issues before they reach the chamber.
3. Accelerate Product Development
With pre-compliance tools, engineers can test immediately after making design changes—no more waiting for the next chamber slot. This shortens the development cycle and speeds up time-to-market.
4. Diagnose and Understand EMI Sources More Effectively
Using near-field probes, pre-compliance receivers, and LISNs helps pinpoint issues such as:
  • * Noisy ICs
  • * Power rail harmonics
  • * Cable or loop antennas
  • * Grounding problems
  • * PCB layout flaws
These issues are much harder to isolate inside a large far-field chamber.
5. Enable Continuous EMC-Aware Design
Pre-compliance tools allow EMC checks throughout development, not just at the end. This creates better design habits, fewer surprises, and significantly more robust EMI performance.

Spectrum Analyzers

An external Spectrum Analyzer is required for use with our solutions, and we’re compatible with most mainstream models. If you don’t currently have one, we can include a Spectrum Analyzer in your quote and create a custom bundle featuring your preferred brand.

Y.I.C. Technologies is a Solution Partner of Keysight, and we work closely with leading manufacturers such as Rohde & Schwarz, Anritsu, and Signal Hound.

Please get in touch if you’d like more information or assistance selecting the right Spectrum Analyzer for your setup.

One of the key benefits of our EMC solutions is that they are compact and versatile enough to be used directly on the benchtop in your lab. This gives engineers the flexibility to test and refine their designs during the development phase — enabling early detection and correction of EMC issues, and ultimately supporting a smoother path to certification.

For environments with high background noise, we also offer custom EMC shielding solutions specifically designed to integrate with our systems. These enclosures help isolate your device from external interference, ensuring more accurate and reliable results.

Shieldex is a perfect addition to your EMI lab to use with the EMScanner to control and prevent unwanted electromagnetic interference (EMI) during the testing process.
