The Rohde & Schwarz APEMC 2026 presence marks a significant milestone for engineers and researchers navigating the complex landscape of electromagnetic compatibility. Presenting as a Silver Sponsor at the IEEE Asia-Pacific International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility (APEMC 2026) in Kuala Lumpur from May 4 to May 7, the company is set to unveil its latest technological advancements at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC).
As consumer electronics, automotive systems, and defense applications become increasingly sophisticated, the need for precise, fast, and compliant EMC testing has never been higher. For the B2B tech community following industry developments here at AarokaTech, the Rohde & Schwarz APEMC 2026 showcase offers a critical look into the future of compliance testing.
Pushing Boundaries with New High-Gain Antennas
At the heart of the exhibition, located at booth A04, Rohde & Schwarz is displaying its latest innovations in antenna technology. Hardware engineers and compliance specialists are constantly seeking tools that can handle broader frequency ranges with extreme precision. Addressing this demand, the company has officially launched two vital components for high-frequency testing: the R&S HF1444G20 high-gain EMS antenna and the R&S HF1444G14 high-gain EMI antenna.
These next-generation antennas are engineered to cover an impressive frequency range from 14.9 GHz up to 44 GHz. By operating seamlessly within these high-frequency bands, the equipment strictly meets the rigorous requirements set by the CISPR 16-1-4 and CISPR 16-2-3 standards.
When paired with the industry-leading R&S ESW EMI test receiver, the R&S HF1444G14 becomes the perfect instrument for achieving full compliance testing up to 44 GHz. Furthermore, for defense contractors and aerospace engineers, the R&S HF1444G20, when combined with the R&S SAM200 advanced power amplifier, vastly simplifies Electromagnetic Susceptibility (EMS) measurements according to the newly released MIL-STD-461H (April 2026) standard.
Revolutionizing Speed in EMI Testing
In the fast-paced world of product development, reducing time-to-market is critical. Testing bottlenecks can delay product launches and inflate development budgets. To combat this, the Rohde & Schwarz APEMC 2026 demonstration lineup heavily features speed-optimized Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) tests.
Visitors to the booth will experience a live demonstration of rapid device characterization for typical commercial EMI tests. Powered by the powerful R&S ELEKTRA test software, this speed-optimized process generates highly detailed 3D emission plots in record time. This allows engineers to visualize interference patterns comprehensively and make immediate design adjustments, drastically shrinking the traditional compliance testing window.
Collaborative Verification for Complex Standards
Modern EMC testing rarely happens in a vacuum; it requires a cohesive ecosystem of precision instruments. Recognizing this, Rohde & Schwarz has partnered with EMC Partner for a joint demonstration that tackles the complexities of electrostatic discharge (ESD) generator verification.
During the event, the highly capable R&S RTO6 and MXO 5 oscilloscopes will be deployed to verify the pulse output of EMC Partner’s high voltage ESD generator, the ESDEX. This collaborative setup guarantees that the generator’s performance strictly adheres to vital international standards, such as IEC 61000-4-2. Together, these combined solutions deliver a comprehensive toolkit designed to address the latest regulatory requirements spanning IEC, automotive, military, and avionics standards.
Technical Workshops and Real-World Applications
Beyond the hardware exhibits, the Rohde & Schwarz APEMC 2026 initiative emphasizes education and practical application. The company’s veteran engineers are scheduled to lead three in-depth technical workshops designed to tackle today’s most pressing EMC challenges.
These sessions will dive deep into recent updates in CISPR 32 regarding emission measurements on multimedia equipment. Additionally, they will address the unique electromagnetic challenges posed by the proliferation of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) operating in densely populated areas. Finally, attendees will gain practical, hands-on approaches to conducting accurate measurements within reverberation chambers.
To round out the educational experience, Rohde & Schwarz, in collaboration with SIRIM Berhad, has organized an exclusive technical tour. This tour will grant participants rare access to real-world EMC test facilities, providing a firsthand look at advanced measurement setups and streamlined compliance workflows in action.
Engineers, researchers, and technical professionals interested in the latest developments in commercial, automotive, aerospace, or defense EMC testing can explore the full schedule of workshops and programs provided by the company at APEMC 2026 by visiting the official Rohde & Schwarz portal.
