White Paper Overview

The rapid growth of NewSpace is accelerating satellite development—from research labs to manufacturers. As satellites become smaller and more integrated, ensuring reliable operation in complex electromagnetic environments is critical.

This white paper outlines why satellite EMC testing matters, when to consider it, and key factors across subsystems, payloads and components. It also covers regulatory considerations, system-level aspects like E3, and typical test setups.

It further highlights how FFT-based techniques improve EMI detection and how software streamlines testing workflows.
