Specification for radio disturbance and immunity measuring apparatus and methods - Part 1-4: Radio disturbance and immunity measuring apparatus - Antennas and test sites for radiated disturbance measurements

This part of CISPR 16 specifies the characteristics and performance of equipment for the measurement of radiated disturbances in the frequency range 9 kHz to 18 GHz. Specifications for antennas and test sites are included.
NOTE In accordance with IEC Guide 107, CISPR 16-1-4 is a basic EMC publication for use by  product committees of the IEC. As stated in Guide 107, product committees are responsible for determining the applicability of the EMC standard. CISPR and its sub-committees are prepared to co-operate with product committees in the evaluation of the value of particular EMC tests for specific products.
The requirements of this publication apply at all frequencies and for all levels of radiated disturbances within the CISPR indicating range of the measuring equipment. Methods of measurement are covered in Part 2-3, and further information on radio disturbance is given in Part 3 of CISPR 16. Uncertainties, statistics and limit modelling are covered in Part 4 of CISPR 16.

La CISPR 16-1-4:2010 spécifie les caractéristiques et les performances des appareils de mesure de perturbations rayonnées dans la gamme de fréquences de 9 kHz à 18 GHz. Elle comprend les spécifications pour les antennes et les emplacements d'essai. Les exigences de cette publication s'appliquent à toutes les fréquences et à tous niveaux de perturbation rayonnée, dans les limites de la plage de lecture des appareils de mesure du CISPR. Les méthodes de mesure sont traitées dans la Partie 2-3, et des informations supplémentaires sur les perturbations radioélectriques sont données dans la Partie 3 de la CISPR 16. Les incertitudes, les statistiques et la modélisation des limites sont couvertes par la Partie 4 de la CISPR 16. Cette troisième édition de la CISPR 16-1-4 annule et remplace la deuxième édition publiée en 2007 et ses Amendements 1 (2007) et 2 (2008). Elle en constitue une révision technique. La présente édition contient les modifications techniques significatives suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente: des dispositions sont ajoutées pour traiter l'évaluation d'une table d'essai dans la gamme des fréquences supérieures à 1 GHz. La CISPR 16-1-4:2010 a le statut de publication fondamentale en CEM en accord avec le Guide 107 de la CEI, Compatibilité électromagnétique -  Guide pour la rédaction des publications sur la compatibilité électromagnétique.

Specifikacija merilnih naprav in metod za merjenje radiofrekvenčnih motenj in odpornosti - 1-4. del: Merilne naprave za merjenje radiofrekvenčnih motenj in odpornosti - Antene in preskuševališča za meritve sevanih motenj (CISPR 16-1-4:2010)

Ta del CISPR 16 opredeljuje značilnosti in zmogljivost opreme za merjenje radijskih motenj v frekvenčnem razponu od 9 kHz do 18 GHz. Vključene so specifikacije za antene in preskuševališča.
OPOMBA: V skladu z Vodilom IEC 107 je CISPR 16-1-4 osnovna objava EMC, ki jo uporabljajo odbori za proizvode IEC. Kot je navedeno v Vodilu 107, so odbori za proizvode odgovorni za določevanje uporabe tega standarda EMC. CISPR in njegovi pododbori so pripravljeni sodelovati z odbori za proizvode pri ocenjevanju vrednosti posameznih preskusov EMC za določene proizvode.
Zahteve te objave veljajo za vse frekvence in za vse ravni radijskih motenj v okviru CISPR z navedbo razpona merilne opreme. Metode merjenja so zajete v 2. in 3. delu, nadaljnje informacije o radijskih motnjah pa so podane v 3. delu CISPR 16. Nezanesljivost, statistika in modeliranje mejnih vrednosti so zajeti v 4. delu CISPR 16.

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,
