UL 60065 Audio Video Wireless Device RF Testing
The UL 60065 standard is a critical guideline for ensuring that audio and video devices are safe, reliable, and comply with international standards. This service focuses specifically on the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) aspects of wireless communication within these devices, as outlined in Part 17 of the standard.
The primary goal of this testing is to ensure that devices do not generate excessive radio frequency interference (RFI), which can disrupt other electronic equipment. This is particularly important for consumer electronics like televisions, audio systems, and video cameras, where interference with surrounding devices could lead to poor performance or even malfunctions.
Our state-of-the-art testing facilities are equipped with advanced instrumentation capable of simulating real-world RF environments. We use test setups that can reproduce various scenarios in which a wireless device might operate, including both static and dynamic conditions. This allows us to evaluate the device’s ability to withstand interference from other sources while also ensuring it does not introduce harmful signals into its environment.
Part 17 of UL 60065 covers emissions testing for devices operating in the RF frequency range, typically between 30 MHz and 2 GHz. The tests are designed to measure both conducted and radiated emissions from the device under test (DUT). Conducted emissions are those that travel through wires or cables, while radiated emissions refer to signals emitted into the air. Both types of interference can cause issues with other nearby devices.
For conducted emissions testing, we use specialized equipment such as current probes and differential impedance testers to measure the voltage and current levels at specific points in the device’s circuitry. These measurements help us determine whether the DUT complies with the specified limits for conducted emissions. For radiated emissions testing, our facilities are equipped with anechoic chambers where the DUT is placed inside a shielded enclosure.
The radiated emissions test involves exposing the device to a spectrum analyzer or similar instrument that measures the emitted RF signals across various frequencies. If any frequency exceeds the allowable limits set by UL 60065, it indicates potential interference with other devices operating in the same frequency range. Our team of experts then works closely with the client to identify and mitigate these issues.
Another key aspect of this testing is ensuring that the device can operate effectively within its intended RF environment without being affected by external interference. This involves subjecting the DUT to various environmental conditions, such as electromagnetic fields or noise sources, to simulate real-world usage scenarios. We also perform tests to evaluate the device’s susceptibility to interference from other devices operating in close proximity.
Our testing process is designed to be rigorous and comprehensive, covering all relevant aspects of RF compatibility for wireless audio video devices. By adhering strictly to UL 60065 standards, we ensure that our clients can trust the results of their testing and have confidence in the safety and functionality of their products.
