Not just measuring. Understanding and improving.
A measurement report on its own does not move your development forward. We work in four steps, repeated as often as development requires.
01
Measure
Record the device under test and its operating states in a traceable way.
02
Analyse the cause
Narrow down the interference source in the setup, on a cable, the board or the enclosure.
03
Develop a measure
Derive concrete changes for layout, cabling, filtering or shielding.
04
Re-measure
Verify and document the effect under identical conditions.
What we do
Detect EMC problems early, understand their causes and verify solutions during development. Our measurements are pre-compliance measurements and do not replace testing by an accredited body.
Pre-compliance EMC measurements
Measurements on prototypes or pre-series units. You receive measurement data, a technical assessment against the relevant limits and traceable documentation of the setup.
- Radiated and conducted emissions
- Immunity testing, ESD, surge, burst and near-field investigations
- Measurements across several operating states
Root cause analysis and optimisation
When measured values stand out, we look for the cause in the setup and derive concrete measures from it. We verify the effect in a re-measurement under identical conditions.
- Near-field investigation to locate the source
- Measures for layout, cabling, shielding and enclosure
- Re-measurement for verification
EMC consulting
Technical support around the measurement: clarifying requirements, defining the measurement strategy, reviewing setup and layout together, and putting the results into context.
- Clarifying requirements and standards
- Measurement strategy and test plan
- Layout and setup review

Which kind of support fits your situation?
Find the line that comes closest to your situation. If none of them fits, we will work out the question together.
- “My product emits too much.”Radiated emissions measurement
- “My product reacts to disturbances.”Immunity testing
- “The measurement stands out, but the cause is unclear.”Root cause analysis and optimisation
- “I want to measure before the design freeze.”Pre-compliance measurements
- “I need help with requirements, standards or measurement strategy.”EMC consulting
- “I do not know yet what I need.”Work it out together
Would you like to read up on the terminology before commissioning a measurement? EMC knowledge, checklists and technical orientation collects the fundamentals, standards and preparation guides - sorted by topic.
Working together
Who we work with – and in what situation
On the left, the people we deal with. On the right, the situations in which they come to us.
Who we work with
Development
Hardware and electronics teams that want to know where their setup stands in EMC terms.
Engineering and project management
People who have to reconcile EMC risks with the dates in the project plan.
Quality management
Roles that need traceable measurement data and clean documentation.
Purchasing and management
Decision-makers for whom effort, deadlines and the risk of a change matter.
When we help
- A prototype or pre-series unit needs a first EMC assessment.
- A measurement shows anomalies and the cause is still unclear.
- Before an external test, it needs to be clear which limits are critical.
- A change to layout, cabling, filtering or enclosure needs to be verified.
- The design freeze is approaching and there is no measured evidence yet.
Development teams that measure with us
“I will not forget working with SAMD Solutions any time soon. Quite apart from the fact that Stefan and Helge are technically beyond any doubt, every meeting and every phone call was a genuine pleasure. Thoroughly likeable people who can lift an entire project team with humour and composure, even in situations that look hopeless.”
“For us at Novus, working with SAMD Solutions was a real game changer. As a young company in the early stages of product development, it mattered to us to find a partner who understands our agility and responds flexibly to our needs. SAMD Solutions delivered exactly that.”
