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 provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
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 Definitions
For the purpose of this part of CISPR 16, the following definitions apply. Also see
IEC 60050(161).
3.1
bandwidth (B )
n
the width of the overall selectivity curve of the receiver between two points at a stated
attenuation, below the midband response. The bandwidth is represented by the symbol B ,
n
where n is the stated attenuation in decibels.
3.2
impulse bandwidth (B )
imp
B = A(t) / (2 G × IS)
imp max o
where
A(t) is the peak of the envelope at the IF output of the receiver with an impulse area IS
max
applied at the receiver input;
G is the gain of the circuit at the centre frequency.
o
Specifically for two critically-coupled tuned transformers,
B = 1,05 × B = 1,31 × B
imp 6 3
where
B and B are respectively the bandwidths at the –6 dB and –3 dB points (see clause A.2 in
6 3
annex A for further information).
3.3
impulse area (IS)
the impulse area (sometimes called impulse strength, IS) is the voltage-time area of a pulse
defined by the integral:
+∞
IS = V d(t) t (expressed in µVs or dB(µVs))
∫
−∞
NOTE Spectral density (D) is related to impulse area and expressed in µV/MHz or dB(µV/MHz). For rectangular
6
impulses of pulse duration T at frequencies f << 1/T, the relationship D (µV/MHz) = 2 × 10 IS (µVs) applies.
3.4
electrical charge time constant (T )
C
the time needed after the instantaneous application of a constant sine-wave voltage to the
stage immediately preceding the input of the detector for the output voltage of the detector to
reach 63 % of its final value
NOTE This time constant is determined as follows: A sine-wave signal of constant amplitude and having a
frequency equal to the mid-band frequency of the i.f. amplifier is applied to the input of the stage immediately
preceding the detector. The indication, D, of an instrument having no inertia (e.g., a cathode-ray oscilloscope)
connected to a terminal in the d.c. amplifier circuit so as not to affect the behaviour of the detector, is noted. The
level of the signal is chosen such that the response of the stages concerned remains within the linear operating
range. A sine-wave signal of this level, applied for a limited time only and having a wave train of rectangular
envelope is gated such that the deflection registered is 0,63D. The duration of this signal is equal to the charge
time of the detector.
---------------------- Page: 10 ----------------------
CISPR 16-1-1 © IEC:2003 – 19 –
3.5
electrical discharge time constant (T )
D
the time needed after the instantaneous removal of a constant sine-wave voltage applied to
the stage immediately preceding the input of the detector for the output of the detector to fall
to 37 % of its initial value
NOTE The method of measurement is analogous to that for the charge time constant, but instead of a signal
being applied for a limited time, the signal is interrupted for a definite time. The time taken for the deflection to fall
to 0,37D is the discharge time constant of the detector.
3.6
mechanical time constant (T ) of a critically damped indicating instrument
M
T = T / 2π
M L
where
T is the period of free oscillation of the instrument with all damping removed.
L
NOTE 1 For a critically damped instrument, the equation of motion of the system may be written as:
2 2 2
T (d α / dt ) + 2T (dα / dt) + α = ki
M M
where
α is the deflection;
i is the current through the instrument;
k is a constant.
It can be deduced from this relation that this time constant is also equal to the duration of a rectangular pulse (of
constant amplitude) that produces a deflection equal to 35 % of the steady deflection produced by a continuous
current having the same amplitude as that of the rectangular pulse.
NOTE 2 The methods of measurement and adjustment are deduced from one of the following:
a) The period of free oscillation having been adjusted to 2πT , damping is added so that αT = 0,35α .
M max
b) When the period of oscillation cannot be measured, the damping is adjusted to be just below critical such that
the overswing is not greater than 5 % and the moment of inertia of the movement is such that αT = 0,35α .
max
3.7
overload factor
the ratio of the level that corresponds to the range of practical linear function of a circuit (or a
group of circuits) to the level that corresponds to full-scale deflection of the indicating
instrument
The maximum level at which the steady-state response of a circuit (or group of circuits) does
not depart by more than 1 dB from ideal linearity defines the range of practical linear function
of the circuit (or group of circuits).
3.8
symmetric voltage
in a two-wire circuit, such as a single-phase mains supply, the symmetric voltage is the radio-
frequency disturbance voltage appearing between the two wires. This is sometimes called the
differential mode voltage. If Va is the vector voltage between one of the mains terminals and
earth and Vb is the vector voltage between the other mains terminal and earth, the symmetric
voltage is the vector difference (Va-Vb)
3.9
CISPR indicating range
it is the range specified by the manufacturer which gives the maximum and the minimum
meter indications within which the receiver meets the requirements of this section of
CISPR 16
---------------------- Page: 11 ----------------------
CISPR 16-1-1 © IEC:2003 – 21 –
4 Quasi-peak measuring receivers for the frequency range 9 kHz to 1 000 MHz
The receiver specification depends on the frequency of operation. There is one receiver
specification covering the frequency range 9 kHz to 150 kHz (band A), one covering 150 kHz
to 30 MHz (band B), one covering 30 MHz to 300 MHz (band C), and one covering 300 MHz
to 1 000 MHz (band D).
4.1 Input impedance
The input circuit of measuring receivers shall be unbalanced. For receiver control settings
within the CISPR indicating range, the input impedance shall be nominally 50 Ω with a v.s.w.r.
not to exceed 2,0 to 1 when the RF attenuation is 0 and 1,2 to 1 when the RF attenuation is
10 dB or greater.
Symmetric input impedance in the frequency range 9 kHz to 30 MHz: to permit symmetrical
measurements a balanced input transformer is used. The preferred input impedance for the
frequency range 9 kHz to 150 kHz is 600 Ω. This symmetric input impedance may be
incorporated either in the relevant symmetrical artificial network necessary to couple to the
receiver or optionally in the measuring receiver.
4.2 Fundamental characteristics
The responses to pulses as specified in 4.4 are calculated on the basis of the measuring
receivers having the following fundamental characteristics.
Table 1 – Fundamental characteristics of quasi-peak receivers
Frequency band
Characteristics Band A Band B Bands C and D
9 kHz to 150 kHz 0,15 MHz to 30 MHz 30 MHz to 1 000 MHz
Bandwidth at the –6 dB points, 0,20 9 120
B in kHz

Detector electrical charge time 45 1 1
constant, in ms
Detector electrical discharge time 500 160 550
constant, in ms
Mechanical time constant of critically 160 160 100
damped indicating instrument, in ms
Overload factor of circuits preceding 24 30 43,5
the detector, in dB
Overload factor of the d.c. amplifier 6 12 6
between detector and indicating
instrument, in dB
NOTE 1 The definition of mechanical time constant (see 3.6) assumes that the indicating instrument is linear,
i.e., equal increments of current produce equal increments of deflection. An indicating instrument having a
different relation between current and deflection may be used provided that the instrument satisfies the
requirements of this subclause. In an electronic instrument, the mechanical time-constant may be simulated by a
circuit.
NOTE 2 No tolerance is given for the electrical and mechanical time constants. The actual values used in a
specific receiver will be determined by the design to meet the requirements in 4.4
---------------------- Page: 12 ----------------------
CISPR 16-1-1 © IEC:2003 – 23 –
4.3 Sine-wave voltage accuracy
The accuracy of measurement of sine-wave voltages shall be better than ±2 dB when supplied
with a sine-wave signal at 50 Ω resistance source impedance.
4.4 Response to pulses
NOTE Annexes B and C describe methods for determining the output characteristics of a pulse generator for use
in testing the requirements of this subclause.
4.4.1 Amplitude relationship (absolute calibration)
The response of the measuring receiver to pulses of impulse area of a) µVs (microvolt
second) e.m.f. at 50 Ω source impedance, having a uniform spectrum up to at least b) MHz,
repeated at a frequency of c) Hz shall, for all frequencies of tuning, be equal to the response
to an unmodulated sine-wave signal at the tuned frequency having an e.m.f. of r.m.s. value 2
mV (66 dB(µV)). The source impedances of the pulse generator and the signal generator shall
both be the same. A tolerance of ±1,5 dB shall be permitted on the sine-wave voltage level.
NOTE A lower impulse area may be used together with a proportionally lower amplitude for the unmodulated
sinewave input, provided sufficient signal-to-noise ratio is maintained.

300 MHz to 1 000 MHz 0,044 1 000 100
4.4.2 Variation with repetition frequency (relative calibration)
The response of the measuring receiver to repeated pulses shall be such that for a constant
indication on the measuring receiver, the relationship between amplitude and repetition

NOTE 1 The influence of the receiver characteristics upon its pulse response is considered in annex D.
NOTE 2 The relationships between the pulse responses of a quasi-peak receiver and receivers with other
detector types are given in 5.4, 6.4.1 and 7.4.1.
NOTE 3 The theoretical pulse response curves of quasi-peak and average detector receivers combined on an
absolute scale are shown in figure 1d. The ordinate of figure 1d shows the open-circuit impulse areas in dB(µVs)
corresponding to the open-circuit sine-wave voltage of 66 dB(µV) r.m.s. The indication on a measuring receiver
with an input matched to the calibrating generators will then be 60 dB(µV). Where the measuring bandwidth is less
than the pulse repetition frequency, the curves of figure 1d are valid when the receiver is tuned to a discrete line
of the spectrum.
NOTE 4 It is not possible to specify a response above 100 Hz in the frequency range 9 kHz to 150 kHz because
of the overlapping of pulses in the i.f. amplifier.
NOTE 5 Annex A deals with the determination of the curve of response to repeated pulses.
NOTE 6 The pulse response is restricted due to overload at the input to the receiver at frequencies above
300 MHz. The values marked with an asterisk (*) in the table are optional and are not essential.
