Emscan

Emscan

Emscan is a Canadian company specializing in near-field electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) scanning and imaging systems for electronics engineers. Their equipment is designed to quickly identify and diagnose electromagnetic interference (EMI) problems at the PCB and component level, enabling rapid pre-compliance testing before formal EMC chamber certification.

The Emscan platform captures near-field emission maps of circuit boards and electronic assemblies, providing spatial visualization of magnetic and electric field distributions. This allows engineers to pinpoint noise sources, identify coupling paths, and evaluate shielding effectiveness — all without a full anechoic chamber test, dramatically accelerating the design iteration cycle.

Key Product Lines

• EMC/EMI diagnostic systems (3000 series): modular near-field scanning platforms for board-level EMC analysis and troubleshooting
• EHX-83 EMC/EMI Imaging System: high-resolution near-field scanner for visualizing electromagnetic emission patterns on PCBs and electronic assemblies

Industries Served

Emscan systems are used by electronics design engineers in consumer electronics, automotive electronics, telecommunications equipment, medical devices, and industrial control systems. They are particularly valuable in R&D laboratories and EMC pre-compliance testing environments where rapid, iterative feedback is required to meet product development schedules and reduce the risk of certification failures.
