42 generated by objects exposed to RF radiation
44 FOREWORD
45 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all
46 national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international co-
47 operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in addition
48 to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly
49 Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation is
50 entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in
51 this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also
52 participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
53 in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
54 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
55 consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all interested
56 IEC National Committees.
57 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
58 Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
59 Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any misinterpretation
60 by any end user.
61 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
62 transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between any
63 IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
64 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
65 assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any services
66 carried out by independent certification bodies.
67 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
68 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and members
69 of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or other damage
70 of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and expenses arising out of
71 the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications.
72 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
73 indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
74 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent
75 rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
76 IEC 62037-8 has been prepared by technical committee 46: Cables, wires, waveguides, RF
77 connectors, RF and microwave passive components and accessories. It is an International
78 Standard.
79 The text of this International Standard is based on the following documents:

84 This document was drafted in accordance with ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2, and developed in
85 accordance with ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1 and ISO/IEC Directives, IEC Supplement, available at
86 www.iec.ch/members_experts/refdocs. The main document types developed by IEC are described
87 in greater detail at www.iec.ch/standardsdev/publications.
88 A list of all parts of the IEC 62037 series, under the general title: Passive RF and microwave
89 devices, intermodulation level measurement, can be found on the IEC website.
90 The committee has decided that the contents of this document will remain unchanged until the
91 stability date indicated on the IEC website under webstore.iec.ch in the data related to the specific
92 document. At this date, the document will be
93 • reconfirmed,
94 • withdrawn,
95 • replaced by a revised edition, or
96 • amended.

100 PASSIVE RF AND MICROWAVE DEVICES,
101 INTERMODULATION LEVEL MEASUREMENT –
103 Part 8: Measurement of passive intermodulation
104 generated by objects exposed to RF radiation
108 1 Scope
109 This part of IEC 62037 defines a radiated passive intermodulation (PIM) test to determine PIM
110 levels generated by a device or object when it is exposed to RF radiation. This test can be
111 conducted on any material or object and is not limited to devices designed to propagate RF signals.
112 This test can be conducted as either a near field or far field test as defined by the test specification
113 in an outdoor test site or in an anechoic test chamber.
114 2 Normative references
