    Definition
  • CISPR 16-1-5:2003+A1:2012 is designated a basic standard which specifies the requirements for calibration test sites, used to perform antenna calibrations, as well as the test antenna characteristics, calibration site verification procedure and site compliance criteria.
  • CISPR 16-2-1:2014 is designated a basic standard, which specifies the methods of measurement of disturbance phenomena in general in the frequency range 9 kHz to 18 GHz and especially of conducted disturbance phenomena in the frequency range 9 kHz to 30 MHz. With a CDNE, the frequency range is(...)
  • CISPR 16-2-2:2010 specifies the methods of measurement of disturbance power using the absorbing clamp in the frequency range 30 MHz to 1 000 MHz.
  • CISPR 16-2-3:2010+A1:2010+A2:2014 specifies the methods of measurement of radiated disturbance phenomena in the frequency range of 9 kHz to 18 GHz
  • This part of CISPR 16 is designated a basic standard, which specifies the methods of measurement of immunity to EMC phenomena in the frequency range 9 kHz to 18 GHz. 
  • CISPR 16-4-2:2011+A1:2014 is a basic EMC publication. It specifies the method of applying Measurement Instrumentation Uncertainty (MIU) when determining compliance with CISPR disturbance limits. The material is also relevant to any EMC test when interpretation of the results and conclusions(...)
  • CISPR 17:2011 specifies methods to measure the radio interference suppression characteristics of passive EMC filtering devices used in power and signal lines, and in other circuits. The defined methods may also be applied to combinations of over-voltage protection devices and EMC filtering(...)
  • CISPR 16-2-5:2008(E) deals with in situ electromagnetic disturbance measurements in any environment from physically large equipment and systems excluding networks. It covers both radiated and conducted emission phenomena, and does not deal with immunity tests. 
  • CISPR/TR 16-3:2010+A1:2012(E) is a collection of technical reports that serve as background and supporting information for the various other standards and technical reports in CISPR 16 series. In addition, background information is provided on the history of CISPR, as well as a historical(...)
  • CISPR/TR 16-4-1:2009 gives guidance on the treatment of uncertainties to those who are involved in the development or modification of CISPR electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) standards. In addition, this part provides useful background information for those who apply the standards and the(...)
  • This part of CISPR 16 specifies requirements and provides guidance based on statistical techniques. EMC compliance of mass-produced appliances should be based on the application of statistical techniques that must reassure the consumer, with an 80 % degree of confidence, that 80 % of the(...)
  • This Technical Report contains a recommendation on how to deal with statistics of radio interference complaints. Furthermore it describes the calculation of limits for disturbance field strength and voltage for the measurement on a test site based on models for the distribution of disturbances(...)
  • CISPR TR 16-4-5:2006+A1:2014 specifies a method to enable product committees to develop limits for alternative test methods, using conversions from established limits. This method is generally applicable for all kinds of disturbance measurements, but focuses on radiated disturbance(...)
  • CISPR 18-1:2010(E), which is a technical report, applies to radio noise from overhead power lines and high-voltage equipment which may cause interference to radio reception. The scope of this publication includes the causes, measurement and effects of radio interference, design aspects in(...)
  • CISPR 18-2:2010(E), which is a technical report, applies to radio noise from overhead power lines and high-voltage equipment which may cause interference to radio reception. The frequency range covered is 0,15 MHz to 300 MHz. A general procedure for establishing the limits of the radio noise(...)
  • CISPR 18-3:2010(E), which is a technical report, applies to radio noise from overhead power lines and high-voltage equipment which may cause interference to radio reception, excluding the fields from power line carrier signals. The frequency range covered is 0,15 MHz to 300 MHz. 
  • Amplifier where the output transistors conduct (i.e. do not fully turn off) irrespective of the output signal waveform. This type of amplifier is typically associated with high linearity but low efficiency.
  • Amplifier that combines Class A and Class B to achieve an amplifier with more efficiency than Class A but with lower distortion than class B.
  • Amplifiers where the output transistors only conduct during half (180 degrees) of the signal waveform.
  • Form of switching amplifier in which the transistors are on for less than a half cycle (less than 180 degrees).
