Chapter 22. Measuring RF Emissions

One of the aspects of electromagnetic compatibility that is most difficult to grasp is the raft of techniques that are involved in making measurements. EMC phenomena extend in frequency to well beyond 1 GHz and this makes conventional and well-known techniques, established for low-frequency and digital work, quite irrelevant. Development and test engineers must appreciate the basics of high-frequency measurements in order to perform, or at least understand, the EMC testing that will be demanded of them. This chapter and the next will serve as an introduction to the equipment, the test methods and some of the causes of error and uncertainty that attend high-frequency EMC testing.

For ease of measurement and ...
