To ensure the stable operation of military equipment in complex electromagnetic environments, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing is becoming more frequent and demanding. Therefore, both the accuracy and efficiency of EMC testing need to be improved simultaneously.

[0003] During testing missions, the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) laboratory frequently employs the Army's seven-item test, requiring testers to continuously set up the test environment. This involves the system debugging of nearly a hundred major instruments, including EMI receivers, signal generators, power meters, electromagnetic field strength meters, switching devices, power amplifiers, and monitoring probes. Additionally, there are dozens of interconnecting cables with N / SMA / K connectors, and the system includes dozens of accessories such as signal injection current probes, attenuators, couplers, preamplifiers, and LISNs. Instruments, accessories, and cables are distributed between anechoic chambers, control rooms, and conduction rooms, with filters, splitters, and other accessories located underground. Before testing, system setup requires testers to ensure accurate matching and reasonable loss of all interconnecting cables. Misjudgments can lead to system malfunctions and inaccurate test results. More seriously, highly sensitive receivers, preamplifiers, and filters are particularly susceptible to damage from large signals or DC current. Therefore, preparation and troubleshooting during the testing process are crucial.
