EN 55016-1-6:2015

Specification for radio disturbance and immunity measuring apparatus and methods - Part 1-6: Radio disturbance and immunity measuring apparatus - EMC antenna calibration

CISPR 16-1-6:2014 provides procedures and supporting information for the calibration of antennas for determining antenna factors (AF) that are applicable to antennas intended for use in radiated disturbance measurements. It has the status of a basic EMC Standard in accordance with IEC Guide 107, Electromagnetic compatibility. The AF of an antenna is influenced by nearby surroundings and by its position in space relative to the radiating source. This standard focuses on antenna calibrations that provide the AF in a free-space environment in the direction of the boresight of the antenna. The frequency range addressed is 9 kHz to 18 GHz. The relevant antenna types covered in this standard are monopole, loop, dipole, biconical, log-periodic dipole-array (LPDA), hybrid and horn antennas. Guidance is also provided on measurement uncertainties associated with each calibration method and configuration, and the test instrumentation used.

Specifikacija za merilne naprave in metode za merjenje radijskih motenj in odpornosti - 1-6. del: Merilne naprave za merjenje radijskih motenj in odpornosti - Umerjanje EMC antene

Ta del standarda CISPR 16 določa postopke in podporne informacije za umerjanje anten za določanje antenskih dejavnikov (AF), ki veljajo za antene, namenjene uporabi pri merjenju sevanih motenj.
Ima status osnovnega standarda o elektromagnetni združljivosti (EMC) v skladu z vodilom IEC Guide 107 Electromagnetic compatibility – Guide to the drafting of electromagnetic compatibility publications (Elektromagnetna združljivost – Vodilo za pripravo osnutkov publikacij o elektromagnetni združljivosti). Na merjenje antenskih dejavnikov antene vpliva bližnje okolje in njen položaj v prostoru glede na vir sevanja. Ta standard se osredotoča na umerjanja antene, ki zagotavljajo antenske dejavnike na prostem v smeri glavne smeri snopa antene. Zajeti frekvenčni razpon je od 9 kHz do 18 GHz. Ustrezne vrste anten, zajete v tem standardu, so monopol, okvirna antena, dipol, dvostožčna antena, logaritemska periodična dipolska antena (LPDA), hibridna in lijakasta antena.
Določene so tudi smernice za merilne negotovosti, povezane z vsako metodo umerjanja in konfiguracijo, ter uporabljene preskusne instrumente.
