Passive RF and microwave devices, intermodulation level measurement - Part 8: Measurement of passive intermodulation generated by objects exposed to RF radiation (IEC 62037-8:2022)

IEC 62037-8:2022 defines a radiated passive intermodulation (PIM) test to determine PIM levels generated by a device or object when it is exposed to RF radiation. This test can be conducted on any material or object and is not limited to devices designed to propagate RF signals. This test can be conducted as either a near field or far field test as defined by the test specification in an outdoor test site or in an anechoic test chamber.

Dispositifs RF et à micro-ondes passifs, mesure du niveau d'intermodulation - Partie 8: Mesure de l'intermodulation passive générée par des objets exposés au rayonnement RF (IEC 62037-8:2022)

IEC 62037-8:2022 définit un essai d’intermodulation passive (PIM) rayonnée pour déterminer les niveaux d’intermodulation passive générés par un dispositif ou un objet lorsqu’il est exposé à un rayonnement RF. Cet essai peut être effectué sur tout matériau ou objet et n’est pas limité aux dispositifs conçus pour propager des signaux RF. Cet essai peut être effectué en champ proche ou en champ lointain, selon ce qui est défini dans la spécification d’essai sur un site d’essai extérieur ou à l’intérieur d’une chambre d’essai anéchoïque.

Standard IEC 62037-8:2022 določa radiacijski preskus pasivne intermodulacije (PIM) za določanje nivojev pasivne intermodulacije, ki jo ustvarja naprava oziroma objekt, kadar je izpostavljen sevanju RF. Ta preskus je mogoče izvesti pri poljubnem materialu ali objektu in ni omejen na naprave, zasnovane za oddajanje radiofrekvenčnih signalov. Preskus je mogoče izvesti kot preskus bližnjega ali daljnega polja, kot je določeno v preskusni specifikaciji, ter na preskusnem mestu na prostem ali v gluhem preskusnem prostoru.

PASSIVE RF AND MICROWAVE DEVICES,
INTERMODULATION LEVEL MEASUREMENT –

Part 8: Measurement of passive intermodulation
generated by objects exposed to RF radiation

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
