RF Measurements

The Automated Radio Measurement System (ARMS) developed by EMA® is used to measure the broadband performance of RF transmitters and receivers. To accurately predict RF interference (RFI) between multiple RF systems in complex environments, one must use high fidelity measured data. There are many ways that RF transmitters can interfere with receivers. The root cause […]
