Specification for radio disturbance and immunity measuring apparatus and methods. Radio disturbance and immunity measuring apparatus. Antenna calibration sites and reference test sites for 5 MHz to 18 GHz | Status: Current

1 Scope This part of CISPR 16 specifies the requirements for calibration sites in the frequency range 5 MHz to 18 GHz used to perform antenna calibrations according to CISPR 16-1-6. It also specifies the requirements for reference test sites (REFTS) that are used for the validation of compliance test sites (COMTS) in the frequency range 30 MHz to 1 000 MHz according to CISPR 16-1-4. It has the status of a basic EMC standard in accordance with IEC Guide 107, Electromagnetic compatibility – Guide to the drafting of electromagnetic compatibility publications. Measurement instrumentation specifications are given in CISPR 16-1-1 [1] 1 and CISPR 16-1-4. Further information and background on uncertainties in general is given in CISPR 16-4 [3], which can also be helpful in establishing uncertainty estimates for the calibration processes of antennas and site validation measurements.
