For IoT & Hardware Startups
Don’t Find Out At The Lab
Find Out Now.
50% of hardware startups fail their first EMC test. Each failure costs $3,500–$20,000 and delays your launch by 3–6 months. I’ll review your PCB design before you step foot in a test lab — and tell you exactly what will kill you.
The Reality
Here’s What Actually Happens
Hardware startups treat EMC like someone else’s job — until it destroys their timeline, their budget, and their investor’s confidence.
50%
Fail Their First Test
Half of all hardware products fail EMC certification on the first attempt when no pre-compliance review is done. You’re gambling with your launch.
$20K
Average Cost of Failure
Between retesting fees, board respins, component changes, and delayed revenue — one EMC failure routinely costs $15,000–$30,000. That’s often a startup’s entire hardware budget.
6MO
Average Launch Delay
Lab queues are 4–8 weeks long. A respin takes another 4–8 weeks. Then retest. Meanwhile your competitors ship, your investors lose patience, and your team burns out.
The Deliverables
What You Actually Get
Not a vague report. Not boilerplate recommendations. A precise, prioritized list of exactly what will fail and exactly how to fix it — before you spend a dollar at the lab.
01. Full Schematic EMC Review
Every net, every component, every power domain reviewed for EMC risk. Filtering gaps, decoupling issues, ground strategy, and signal integrity problems flagged with clear fix instructions.
Value: $800
02. PCB Layout Audit
Stack-up analysis, return path review, layer assignment, component placement, routing for EMC. This is where 70% of lab failures originate. Annotated screenshots showing exactly what to move.
Value: $1,200
03. ADS Simulation Report
Using Keysight ADS — the same tool used by Nokia, Qualcomm, and Ericsson — I simulate your board’s EMC behaviour and show you exactly where the radiation comes from. You’ll see your own board’s problem with your own eyes.
Value: $3,000
04. Prioritized Fix List
Not 40 vague suggestions. A numbered list: fix this first, then this, then this. Ranked by impact on your lab test result. Your engineer can implement it in days, not weeks.
Value: $600
05. 30-Minute Review Call
Walk through every finding together. Ask every question. Leave the call knowing exactly what your next move is. No ambiguity, no jargon — plain engineering English.
Value: $300
⚡ Exclusive Advantage
The Only EMC Reviewer Using ADS Simulation
Most reviewers give you written opinions. I give you visual proof. Using Keysight Advanced Design System (ADS) — the industry’s most powerful EMC simulation platform — I show you your board’s actual electromagnetic field behavior before you build it. No other online EMC review service offers this. This alone typically costs $2,000+ as a standalone service.
Hi, I AM ABBAS ..
I’m an RF engineer with quite some experience reviewing hardware for FCC, CE, and UKCA certification. I hold a Master’s Degree in Electrical Engineering with specialization in RF & EMC, and have worked with companies.
I built this service because I kept seeing the same story — talented hardware founders losing months and thousands of dollars at the lab over problems that were completely preventable.
Every review I deliver is done personally by me. Not outsourced. Not automated. Me.
The Investment

The First-Pass Guarantee
If you implement every recommendation in my review and your board still fails its first Pre-Compliance lab test for the exact same issues I identified and you fixed — I will refund your review fee. Every dollar. No questions asked.
**I put my money where my expertise is. Because I’m that confident in what I do.
Who This Is For
This Is Perfect If…
This is for you if…
You’re an IoT or hardware startup with a working prototype
You have FCC, CE, or UKCA certification coming up in 1–6 months
Nobody on your team owns EMC compliance
You’ve heard horror stories about lab failures and don’t want to be one
You want expert eyes on your board before spending $5K+ at a lab
You’re building connected, wireless, or mixed-signal products
This is NOT for you if…
You’re still at the concept stage with no schematics yet
You need full military or aerospace EMC standards (DO-160, MIL-STD)
You want someone to do the redesign for you (I find, you fix)
You have a large in-house EMC team already
You need full regulatory paperwork and submission services
What Founders Say
Early Results
We were 6 weeks from our FCC test date. The review found a ground plane issue that our entire team had missed for 4 months. Fixed it in 3 days. Passed first time. I don’t want to think about what would have happened if we’d found out at the lab.
James K. Smart Home IoT Startup
The ADS simulation completely changed how I understood our board’s EMC behaviour. Seeing the actual radiation pattern from our switching regulator — not just reading about it — made it immediately obvious what had to change. Worth every cent.
