Cadence System Design and Analysis employee Kirsch broke down the checks that would've caught the test setup failure in the EMC board.

Cadence front end, PCB layout, and routing technology offers a scalable, easy-to-use, constraint-driven PCB design solution for simple to complex PCBs, including those with RF etch components. It also includes innovative new auto-interactive technologies that efficiently and quickly accelerate routing of highly constrained high-speed interfaces. Cadence PCB design tools streamline the process for ECAD/MCAD collaboration using industry-standard EDMD (IDX) schema and design data handoff to manufacturing through modern, industry-standard IPC-2581.
