Hello Folks,

So far I've got no responses from the usual places and chances are they can't accommodate us this time. We want to do conducted susceptibility measurements on electronics for a truck. Since the cables will likely radiate off the stuff that's injected into them this would have to be done in a somewhat shielded environment. Doesn't need the foam dispersers and stuff but at least a good tight shield.

The problem: This is a full size tractor-trailer kind of truck. Full length with sleeper cab. Dismantling the exhaust stacks won't help much since the cab is almost that high itself. IOW it's "da big machine". Sans trailer though.

Any ideas? Ideally a lab that has the big amps and stuff so we don't have to rent. But either way is fine. Locations around Fremont, CA or at least Bay Area surroundings would be great. These things often yield only 5mpg or less on Diesel ...
The US car makers have the EMC labs for testing vehicles in house. They are very well equipped and they take jobs from the side. If you are interested, I can give you a contact.

But AFAIK they are usually around Michigan which would be a 2-3 day drive clear across the country. If you know any in California or maybe northern Nevada please let me know.

Aren't there some car companies in or around Fremont, CA?

They may only be manufacturing, though.


It's the NUMMI plant, mostly manufacturing for Toyota and GM.
