Compact microwave test system for all EMC measurements in the laboratory:
In 2004, Philips opened the new center for ElectroMagnetics and Cooling (EM & C) in Eindhoven (The Netherlands). In addition to conventional EMC test setups and systems (e.g. an anechoic chamber with a 10 m test range), Philips, in cooperation with Rohde & Schwarz, also designed a compact and versatile system for testing wireless communications systems in the frequency range from 800 MHz to 40 GHz.
