With the widespread use of electronic devices, electromagnetic interference (EMI) issues have become increasingly prominent. As a result, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing has gained significant attention from companies. EMC testing is a complex process involving control techniques such as shielding, filtering, and grounding, as well as balancing and low-level techniques. Before addressing EMC issues, it is crucial to measure the electromagnetic characteristics of samples using testing equipment or systems to determine the appropriate improvement strategies. Challenges in RF Electromagnetic Field Radiation Immunity Testing: RF electromagnetic field radiation immunity is a critical component of EMC testing but presents several challenges for companies due to high costs associated with the required facilities and equipment. This testing requires an anechoic chamber and RF amplifier equipment. The construction of an anechoic chamber demands substantial space and structural suppo

In recent years, the automotive industry in China has developed rapidly. However, progress in automotive electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing standards and regulations has lagged. Nevertheless, recent updates and new standards demonstrate that China is quickly advancing in standard development to keep pace with the automotive industry’s growth. Importance of Automotive EMC With technological advancement and the rapid growth of the automotive industry, the number of in-vehicle electronic devices has increased. Consequently, EMC design standards and regulations have become crucial. Modern vehicles are equipped with various electronic devices, such as multimedia entertainment systems, Bluetooth communication, satellite navigation, braking systems, and airbags. These systems may emit interference signals or malfunction due to high sensitivity when exposed to strong interference zones. Such malfunctions can range from minor inconveniences to severe accidents, posing a threat to life

A spectrophotometer is a common tool for color measurement, widely used in color evaluation, color control, color matching, and material composition analysis. This precise instrument operates by using a spectrophotometer to graphically display spectral ratios and emission curves, calculating measurement values using fixed formulas. The spectrophotometer automatically records all measured data and calculates the final results. A spectrophotometer mainly consists of four parts: • Light Source: Provides the necessary light for measurement. • Integrating Sphere: Distributes the light uniformly to ensure accurate measurement. • Grating (Monochromator): Separates the light into different wavelengths. • Photodetector: Detects and records the intensity of the dispersed light. Different brands and models of spectrophotometers may vary in measurement principles, primarily categorized into single-beam and double-beam measurement principles. Single-Beam Measurement Principle Single-beam spectropho

In fields such as color management, quality control, and product development, color accuracy is crucial for ensuring product quality and meeting customer expectations. Spectrophotometers, as highly accurate and efficient color measurement tools, play an indispensable role in these areas. Working Principle of Spectrophotometers Spectrophotometers operate based on spectral and photoelectric conversion technologies. Initially, they emit white light through a light source, which is then separated into monochromatic light of different wavelengths using a grating or prism in the spectrophotometer. This monochromatic light is then directed onto the sample under test. The sample absorbs, reflects, or transmits parts of the light depending on its physical and chemical properties. Finally, a photodetector within the instrument receives this light and converts it into electrical signals. Through signal processing and analysis, the spectrophotometer derives accurate color information from the samp
