IEC Publishes CISPR 16-1-6 Amendments 1 and 2 for EMC Antenna Calibration

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) has released CISPR 16-1-6/AMD1:2016 PRV and CISPR 16-1-4/AMD2:2016 PRV.

CISPR 16-1-6/AMD1:2016 PRV includes: “Amendment 1 – Specification for radio disturbance and immunity measuring apparatus and methods – Part 1-6: Radio disturbance and immunity measuring apparatus – EMC antenna calibration”.

CISPR 16-1-4/AMD2:2016 PRV includes: “Amendment 2 – Specification for radio disturbance and immunity measuring apparatus and methods – Part 1-4: Radio disturbance and immunity measuring apparatus – Antennas and test sites for radiated disturbance measurements.”

Near and Far Field Measurements with a Vector Network Analyzer

For optimal performance in over-the-air RF systems, antennas must meet specific requirements. Performance parameters like size, wind-loading, environmental ruggedness, transmission pattern, bandwidth, and power handling capability should be considered. Methods of measuring the transmission (or reception) pattern that determines antenna gain with a VNA will be examined in this article.

These pre-release version of these amendments are available at the IEC webstore.
