  • This test procedure is used to verify that radiated spurious and harmonic emissions from transmitters do not exceed the specified requirements.
  • This test procedure is used to verify the ability of the EUT to withstand radiated magnetic fields.
  • This test procedure is used to verify the ability of the EUT and associated cabling to withstand electric fields.
  • This test procedure is used to verify the ability of the EUT enclosure to withstand a transient electromagnetic field.
  • This military standard establishes requirements for ESD Control Programs. It applies to U.S. military agencies, contractors, subcontractors, suppliers and vendors. It requires the establishment, implementation and documentation of ESD control programs for static sensitive devices, but does NOT(...)
  • The condition whereby the output impedance of the RF source differs from that of the load is said to be a “mismatch.”
  • The process of varying one or more properties of a periodic waveform, called the carrier signal, with a modulating signal which typically contains information to be transmitted.
  • A class of radio antenna consisting of a straight rod-shaped conductor, often mounted perpendicularly over some type of conductive surface, called a ground plane.
  • Metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor. a transistor used for amplifying or switching electronic signals.
  • intentional or unintentional capacitance that occurs between two charge-holding objects or conductors, in which the current passing through one passes over into the other
  • the change in current in one inductor induces a voltage in another nearby inductor
  • An emission that has a spectral energy distribution that is narrow compared to a referenced bandwidth, such as that of the suseptible receptor or the measuring receiver. This is usually defined using the 3 dB bandwidths. The unit for narrowband signal measurements using EMI receivers is(...)
  • Most common set of safety, spatial and environmental design guidelines applied to telecommunications equipment in the United States. It is an industry requirement, but not a legal requirement.

  • The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA,) is an agency of the Executive Branch of the U.S. government, part of the Department of Transportation. It is dedicated to achieving the highest standards of excellence in motor vehicle and highway safety.

  • A measure of undesired noise mixed into the output.
  • An ongoing column covering compliance of graphical signs, colors, formats and symbols used in global safety warning labels and signage.
  • A test facility location, free of reflecting objects except a ground plane, where radiated emission tests may be carried out per CISPR 22.
  • A test facility location, free of reflecting objects except a ground plane, where radiated emission tests may be carried out per CISPR 22.
