FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purpose of this document, the terms and definitions given in IEC 62132-1:2006,
Clause 3, IEC 60050-131 and IEC 60050-161, and the following, apply.
3.1
transverse electromagnetic mode
TEM
waveguide mode in which the components of the electric and magnetic fields in the
propagation direction are much less than the primary field components across any transverse
cross-section
Note 1 to entry: This note only applies to the French language.
3.2
TEM waveguide
open or closed transmission line system, in which a wave is propagating in the transverse
electromagnetic mode to produce a specified field for testing purposes
3.3
IC stripline
TEM waveguide, consisting of an active conductor placed on a defined spacing over an
enlarged ground plane, connected to a port structure on each end and an optional shielded
enclosure
62132-8  IEC:2012 – 7 –
Note 1 to entry: This arrangement guides a wave propagation in the transverse electromagnetic mode to produce a
specific field for testing purposes between the active conductor and the enlarged ground plane. The ground plane
of the standard EMC test board according to IEC 62132-1:2006, Annex B, should be used. An optional shielding
enclosure may be used for fixing the IC stripline configuration and for shielding purposes. This leads to a closed
version of the IC stripline in opposite to the open version without shielding enclosure. For further information see
Annex A.
3.4
two-port TEM waveguide
TEM waveguide with input/output measurement ports at both ends
3.5
characteristic impedance
magnitude of the ratio of the voltage between the active conductor and the corresponding
ground plane to the current on either conductor for any constant phase wave-front
Note 1 to entry: The characteristic impedance is independent of the voltage/current magnitudes and depends only
on the cross sectional geometry of the transmission line. TEM waveguides are typically designed to have a 50 Ω
characteristic impedance. For further information and equation to stripline arrangements see Annex A.
3.6
primary field component
primary component
electric field component aligned with the intended test polarization
Note 1 to entry: For example, in IC stripline, the active conductor is parallel to the horizontal floor, and the primary
mode electric field vector is vertical at the transverse centre of the IC stripline.
4 General
An IC to be evaluated for EMC performance is referred to as a device under test (DUT). The
DUT should be mounted on an EMC test board according to IEC 62132-1. The EMC test
board is provided with the appropriate measurement or monitoring points at which the DUT
response parameters can be measured. It controls the geometry and orientation of the DUT
relative to the active conductor and eliminates in the case of a closed version of the IC
stripline any connecting leads within the housing (these are on the backside of the board,
which is outside the housing).
For the IC stripline, one of the 50 Ω ports is terminated with a 50 Ω load. The other 50 Ω port
is connected to the output of an RF disturbance generator. The injected RF disturbance signal
exposes the DUT to an electromagnetic field determined by the injected power, the typical
impedance and the distance between the ground plane of the EMC test board and the active
conductor of the IC stripline. The relationship is given in Annex A.
Rotating the EMC test board in the four possible orientations in the aperture to accept EMC
test board of the IC stripline will affect the sensitivity of the DUT. Dependent upon the DUT,
the response parameters of the DUT may vary (e.g. a change of current consumption,
deterioration in function performance, waveform jitter). The intent of this test method is to
provide a quantitative measure of the RF immunity of DUTs for comparison or other purposes.
For further information see Annex A.
5 Test conditions
5.1 General
The test conditions shall meet the requirements as described in IEC 62132-1:2006, Clause 4.
In addition, the following test conditions shall apply.

– 8 – 62132-8  IEC:2012
5.2 Supply voltage
The supply voltage shall be as specified by the IC manufacturer. If the users of this procedure
agree to other values, they shall be documented in the test report.
5.3 Frequency range
The effective frequency range of this radiated immunity procedure is 150 kHz to 3 GHz.

6.1 General
The test equipment shall meet the requirements described in IEC 62132-1:2006, Clause 5. In
addition, the following test equipment requirements shall apply.
6.2 Cables
Double shielded or semi-rigid coaxial cable may be required depending on the local ambient
conditions.
6.3 Shielding
Testing in a shielded room is only necessary for the open IC stripline version. The closed
version of the IC stripline is shielded by its housing.
6.4 RF disturbance generator
An RF disturbance generator with sufficient power handling capabilities shall be used. The RF
disturbance generator may comprise an RF signal source with a modulation function, an RF
power amplifier. The voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) at the output of the RF disturbance
generator shall be less than 1,5 over the frequency range being measured.
The gain (or attenuation) of the RF disturbance generating equipment, without the IC stripline,
shall be known with an accuracy ±0,5 dB.
6.5 IC stripline
The IC stripline (open or closed version) used for this test procedure shall be fitted with an
aperture to mate with the EMC test board. The IC stripline shall not exhibit higher order
modes over the frequency range being measured. For this procedure, the IC stri
