5.2    Radiated Emissions

                       The frequency spectrum is investigated for intentional and / or unintentional signals
                       emanating from the EUT by use of a standardized test site and measurement
                       antenna.

                The antenna, cable, pre‐amp, and other necessary measurement system correction
                factors are loaded onto the EMI receiver / spectrum analyzer when the
 Description of
                measurements are performed allowing the data to be gathered and reported as
 Measurement
                corrected values.

                       The maximum emissions from the EUT are determined by turn‐table azimuth
                       rotation (360°) and scanning of the measurement antenna. Maximized levels are
                       noted at degree values of azimuth, measurement antenna height, and measurement
                       antenna polarity.


                       Measurement (dBµV) + Cable factor (dB) + Other (dB) + Antenna Factor (dB/m) =
                       Corrected Reading (dBµV/m)

 Example               Margin (dB) = Limit (dBµV/m) ‐ Corrected Reading (dBµV/m)
 Calculations          Example at 4000 MHz:
                       Reading = 40 dBµV + 3.4 dB + 0.9 dB + 6.5 dB/m = 50.8 dBµV/m
                       Average Limit = 20 log (500) = 54 dBµV/m
                       Margin = 54 dBµV/m ‐ 50.8 dBµV/m = 3.2 dB

5.3    AC Mains Conducted Emissions

                       A line impedance stabilization network (LISN) or artificial mains network (AMN)
                       allows the emissions of the power supply conductors to be measured while isolating
                       the EUT from the supply mains.

                The AMN, cable, and other necessary measurement system correction factors are
 Description of
                loaded onto the EMI receiver when the measurements are performed. The data is
 Measurement
                gathered and reported as the corrected values.

                       Maximum emissions are determined with a peak max hold trace then measurements
                       at a selection of the highest points are made with quasi‐peak and average detectors.
                       Results are recorded and compared to limit for each line. (e.g. line and neutral)



 Example               Measurement (dBµV) + Cable factor (dB) + Other (dB) = Corrected Reading (dBµV)
 Calculations          Margin (dB) = Limit (dBµV) ‐ Corrected Reading (dBµV)
