Electromagnetic Interference and Compatibility Testing Laboratory
Warner Robins, Georgia
KBR delivers advanced Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)/Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) testing at its new lab near Robins Air Force Base, supporting internal and customer designs with MIL-STD-461G capabilities.
Areas of Expertise
KBR’s EM lab helps our customers accomplish their Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) testing. The KBR EM Lab capabilities include:
Frequency Ranges
Capable of covering frequency ranges from 30Hz to 18GHz with anticipated capability to 40GHz.
Design and Construction
Designed to provide the best performance in a restricted size format. Constructed with materials including, but not limited to, ferrite, polyethylene closed cell foam, and oblique incidence absorbers to provide superior performance – minimizing energy reflection and maximizing absorption over a broad frequency range within the testing chamber.
Testing Chamber
Chamber dimensions 40’ x 13.5’ x 10.5’ (L x W x H) that supports equipment under test sizes up to 13.3’ x 4.5’. Available power for equipment is:
- 0-250VDC / 1500W 1P / 500W 3P
- 0-1500VAC / 1500W 1P / 500W 3P
- Freq. Range: DC, 16-1.2kHz
Test and Reporting
Testing is performed and recorded with ETS-Lindgren TILE and other software. Comprehensive reports are generated in Microsoft Word, Excel, or PDF format, providing extensive details of test results and equipment used (calibration dates included in reports).
ISO/IEC 17025 Accreditation
KBR’s EMI/EMC lab was ISO/IEC 17025 accredited in March of 2024. With this accreditation, the KBR lab will is the only certified facility within a 130-mile radius of Warner Robins AFB.
Quality Management
A quality management system that maintains strict adherence to ISO-STD-17025 to ensure the EM Lab operates in accordance with industry and government standards.
Secure Facilities
The chamber is inside a secure facility that is monitored 24/7. The laboratory entrance is secured by badge swipe door locks and limited access. The laboratory loading dock is secured by locked steel doors with alarms.
Electromagnetic Compatibility Testing
Tests in the EM Lab include radiated susceptibility, radiated emissions, conducted susceptibility and conducted emissions.
- Radiated emissions tests determine the strength of RF signals emitted from a device.
- Radiated susceptibility tests determine the susceptibility of the equipment under test (emissions from surrounding equipment can impact the operations of the unit).
- Conducted susceptibility testing simulates disturbances from other equipment powered on the same network and checks the external input and output cabling (often bundled together) to ensure it can withstand potential disturbances.
- Conducted emissions tests (the inverse of conducted susceptibility tests) measure the emissions, or noise, propagating from the equipment cabling.
MIL-STD-461G Current Capabilities
*We will only be able to test up to 20 GHz. Although the test documentation indicates a range up to 40 GHz, additional equipment would need to be rented if testing beyond 20 GHz becomes necessary.
