New EMC Forum
& Database With the incidence of PLT Spectrum Abuse rising sharply,
along with many other unacceptable spectrum pollution, a new
forum has been launched to discuss all aspects of EMC. Tied in
with the new forum is a new EMC Database which will be used to
accumulate evidence of spectrum abuse from companies selling
non-compliant products. Please follow the links to the
FORUM and the
DATABASE.
Lab Tests Reveal Truth! The EMC legislation relies upon the quality of the tests
undertaken by laboratories and to this end, labs with the
authorisation to test to the harmonised standards are called
Notified Bodies. The personnel responsible are highly trained
and the results definitive. We have just published a set of
results for a Comtrend PLT adapter from one such Notified Body.
The result speaks for itself.
Urgent - 300 MHz is live!
We recently purchased a Belkin "Gigabit Powerline HD Starter Kit"
model F5D4076uk.
The units were installed per the manual and the emissions inside the
house effectively wiped out most radio reception from:-
0.1 MHz to 370 MHz.
The units have been sent away for examination and testing to the current
harmonised standards. The preliminary test
results are in and it does not look good.
In the middle of the 1990's I sustained an injury to my spine
which wasn't thought to be serious however in 2004 I underwent
emergency corrective surgery to try and save my ability to walk and
preserve lower body function. This
was partially successful but in 2007 another major event with my spine
left me disabled and completely reliant on my wife, Bev who has been
my rock.
I am an electrical engineer with particular interest in EMC and
have so far, found on evidence that PLT is an inappropriate use of the
radio spectrum due to its propensity to cause undue interference.
