About
IMST GmbH is an independent research and development house in Kamp-Lintfort, North Rhine-Westphalia, working across radio system design, antennas, radar, RF circuits and electromagnetic simulation, and its Test Centre operates a DAkkS-accredited EMC laboratory under DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025 registration D-PL-12139-00-00. The laboratory's principal facility is a semi-anechoic chamber measuring 13 x 8 x 5 metres, usable from DC to 6 GHz, large enough for sizeable equipment and for the 3 m and 10 m measurement geometries required by the emission standards; a second shielded room of 6 x 4 x 3 metres covers DC to 300 MHz for conducted work and low-frequency immunity. Testing covers radiated and conducted emissions to CISPR 32 and EN 55032, the full IEC 61000-4 immunity series, harmonics and flicker, and radio equipment testing to the ETSI EN 301 489 and EN 300 series under the Radio Equipment Directive and the EMC Directive. What sets the centre apart is its proximity to IMST's own design engineering: customers bring hardware into the chamber with a soldering station and stereo microscope available on site so that filter or layout changes can be made and re-measured in the same visit, and the laboratory is backed by IMST's EMPIRE XPU 3D electromagnetic field simulator, which allows radiated emission and coupling problems to be reproduced and diagnosed numerically rather than only empirically. Specialisations are wireless and IoT modules, radar and mmWave sensors, antenna integration, and industrial and automotive electronics.
