Electromagnetic compatibility - Emission measurements in fully anechoic chambers

Publication date:   May 21, 2010

Scope

This Technical Report applies to emission measurements of radiated electromagnetic fields in Fully Anechoic Rooms (FAR) in the frequency range from 30 MHz to 18 GHz. This Technical Report covers the frequency range from 30 MHz – 1 000 MHz. The frequency range above 1 GHz is under consideration, due to the absence of practical experience. This Technical Report describes the validation procedure for the Fully Anechoic Room for radiated emission tests and the procedures to carry out the tests (e.g. test set up, EUT position, cable layout and termination, test procedures). Recommendations for the relation between FAR emission limits and common Open Area Test Site (OATS) emission limits given in standards such as EN 55011 and EN 55022 are given in Annex B. This FAR emission method may be chosen by product committees as an alternative method to emission measurement on an Open Area Test Site (OATS) as described in CISPR 16 series. In such cases, the product committee should also define the appropriate limits. Typical measurement uncertainty values for FARs and OATS are given in Annex C.
