What is BS EN 55016-1-1 - Specification for radio disturbance and immunity measuring apparatus and methods about?
BS EN 55016 is a series on specifications for radio disturbance and immunity measuring apparatus and methods. radio disturbance occurs when in the radio frequency spectrum, is a disturbance generated by an external source that affects an electrical circuit by electromagnetic interference, electrostatic coupling, or conduction. BS EN 55016-1-1 specifies the characteristics and performance of equipment for the measurement of radio disturbance in the frequency range 9 kHz to 18 GHz. In addition, requirements are provided for specialized equipment for discontinuous disturbance measurements.
The specifications in BS EN 55016-1-1 apply to EMI receivers and spectrum analyzers. The term “measuring receiver” used in this standard refers to both EMI receivers and spectrum analyzers.
Who is BS EN 55016-1-1 - Specification for radio disturbance and immunity measuring apparatus and methods for?
BS EN 55016-1-1 on the specification for radio disturbance and immunity measuring apparatus and methods is useful for:
- Telecommunication component manufacturers
- Telecommunication equipment manufacturers
- Design engineers
- Quality control personnel
Why should you use BS EN 55016-1-1 - Specification for radio disturbance and immunity measuring apparatus and methods?
The disturbance may degrade the performance of the circuit or even stop it from functioning. In the case of a data path, these effects can range from an increase in error rate to a total loss of the data. The receiver specification depends on the frequency of operation. There is one receiver specification covering the frequency range 9 kHz to 150 kHz (Band A), one covering 150 kHz to 30 MHz (Band B), one covering 30 MHz to 300 MHz (Band C), and one covering 300 MHz to 1 000 MHz (Band D). Fundamental characteristics of a quasi-peak measuring instrument are provided in BS EN 55016-1-1.
Spectrum analyzers and FFT-based measuring instruments that meet the requirements of BS EN 55016-1-1 can be used for compliance measurements. For emission measurements, FFT-based measuring instruments shall sample and evaluate the signal continuously during the measurement time. Using BS EN 55016-1-1 you can specify the characteristics and performance of equipment for the measurement of radio disturbance in the frequency range 9 kHz to 18 GHz.
