Replace the existing title by the following new title:
7.1 General
Replace the existing content of this subclause (including Table 3), by the following new 7.1.1,
and 7.1.2:
7.1.1 General remarks and overview of test methods
Clause 7 sets forth the general procedures for the measurement of the field strength of radio
disturbance produced by devices and systems. Most experience with radiated disturbance
measurements exists for OATS/SAC with 10 m distance in the frequency range 30 MHz to
1 000 MHz. In this frequency range this is therefore called the established test method to
which other test methods are compared regarding the level of radio protection (see also
CISPR TR 16-4-5). The effects of leads and cables associated with the EUT in terms of length,
layout, and termination shall be taken into account (see Garbe and Battermann [21], Garbe
[22]). Table 8 provides a summary list of CISPR radiated disturbance test sites and
measurement methods, and the related cross-references to subclauses within this document
or to other documents. Tables 9, 10, 11 and 12 provide information on maximum EUT
volumes associated with the various measurement methods. Background on the criteria for
EUT volumes is given in Annex F.
For some products, it can be required to measure the electric field strength, the magnetic field
strength, or both components of the radiated disturbance. Sometimes a measurement of a
quantity related to radiated power is more appropriate. Normally measurements should be
made of both the horizontal and vertical components of the disturbance relative to the
installation floor or ground plane. The results of measurements of either the electric field-
strength component or magnetic field-strength component may be expressed in peak, quasi-
peak, average, or rms-average values.
The magnetic field-strength component of a disturbance is normally measured at frequencies
up to 30 MHz. In magnetic field-strength measurements, only the horizontal component of the
field at the position of the receive antenna is measured when using the distant single antenna
procedure. If an LLAS is used, the three orthogonal magnetic dipole moments of the EUT are
measured.
NOTE 1 In the magnetic field-strength measurement method using a distant single antenna (e.g. 60 cm loop
antenna), the horizontal components of the field at the position of the antenna are determined by the horizontal and
vertical dipole moments of the EUT.
2
NOTE 2 A future amendment to this document (CISPR 16-2-3/AMD2 ) is under consideration for modifying the
magnetic field-strength measurement method such that measurements of all three orthogonal components (using
three orthogonal positions of a single receive antenna) will be required for measurement distances of 3 m and 5 m,

7.1.2 Overview of maximum EUT volumes depending on measurement method,
frequency range, and measurement distance
7.1.2.1 Frequency range 9 kHz to 30 MHz
a) Maximum EUT dimensions for large-loop antenna system (LLAS) measurements are listed
in Table 9.
It is recommended to use a 3 m LLAS for 1,6 m < EUT dimensions ≤ 2,4 m, and to use a
4 m LLAS for 2,4 m < EUT dimensions ≤ 3,2 m.
Table 9 – Maximum EUT dimensions for different LLAS diameters,
9 kHz to 30 MHz
LLAS diameter 2 m 3 m 4 m
a
EUT dimension 1,6 m 2,4 m 3,2 m
a
The specified EUT dimension applies for the diameter of a sphere that fully
encompasses the EUT; e.g. for an EUT in the form of a cube, the maximum cube
side length for a 2 m LLAS will be (1,6 m)/√3 = 0,92 m; for a 3 m LLAS:
(2,4 m)/√3 = 1,39 m; and for a 4 m LLAS: (3,2 m)/√3 = 1,85 m. These maximum
EUT dimensions are the same as specified in CISPR 16-1-4.
b) Recommended maximum EUT dimensions for an OATS/SAC or an outdoor site are listed
in Table 10.
NOTE At present this document does not include a measurement method for magnetic field strength using a
distant single antenna (e.g. 60 cm loop antenna), so these recommended EUT dimensions apply for product
standards containing limits for magnetic field strength, e.g. CISPR 11.

a
Test site specifications and validation methods for OATS/SAC are under
development.
b
EUT volumes less than or equal to those for d = 3 m (5 m) are small EUTs, as
defined in 3.1.35. Disturbance limits for larger EUTs can be defined for these
distances taking the EUT volume diameter into account (see e.g. [18]). Work is in
progress to define conditions for medium-sized EUT volumes.
c
An outdoor site is a non-validated test site without a conducting ground plane.
d
The EUT diameter for 30 m is proportional to the diameters for 3 m and 10 m. The
distance of 30 m is regarded as a protection distance, where any EUT volume that
is encompassed by the receive antenna beamwidth is acceptable. This table
includes the 30 m distance because it is specified in CISPR 11, regardless that an
associated validation method is not available or in preparation for the frequency
range 9 kHz to 30 MHz. EUT height is limited to 4 m, because heights greater than
4 m are not practically needed.
c) Maximum EUT dimensions in a TEM waveguide are as follows.
The usable test volume is 0,6W by 0,6L by 0,33H, where W = the (average) septum width,
H = the (average) septum height, and L = z – z , i.e. the region where the TEM mode
max min
requirements are fulfilled (see IEC 61000-4-20). The EUT volume is limited by the test
volume.
7.1.2.2 Frequency range 30 MHz to 1 000 MHz
a) Maximum EUT dimensions for an OATS/SAC and a FAR are listed in Table 11.

NOTE EUT volumes less than or equal to those for d = 3 m (5 m) are small EUTs as defined in 3.1.35.
Work is in progress to define conditions for medium-sized EUT volumes.
a
For an OATS/SAC, the EUT volume at 10 m and 30 m distances is a recommendation only because
these distances may be regarded as protection distances, where any EUT volume that is
encompassed by the receive antenna beamwidth is accepted, provided that the test volume fulfils the

Table 14 of CISPR 16-1-4 specifies maximum diameters and heights of the EUT volume for radiated
disturbance measurements in a FAR as 1,5 m, 2,5 m, and 5 m for measurement distances d = 3 m, 5
m, and 10 m, respectively. The reason why the maximum EUT dimensions are less than 2,5 m and 5
m at d = 5 m and 10 m, respectively, is mainly due to the near-field effect and the fact that a FAR is
an alternative test site.
b) Maximum EUT dimensions in a TEM waveguide are as follows.
The usable test volume is 0,6w by 0,6L by 0,33h. For definitions of w, L, and h, see
7.1.2.1 c).
c) Maximum EUT dimensions in a reverberation chamber (RC) are as follows.
At the lowest usable frequency of an RC, the EUT shall be at least λ/4 away from the
chamber walls. Additional space is required for the tuner/stirrer and for the transmit
antenna and receive antenna; see IEC 61000-4-21 for details.

The quantity to be measured (measurand) is the maximum electric field strength emitted by
the EUT as a function of horizontal and vertical polarization over all angles of the azimuth
plane with the receive antenna height at the test volume centre at a preferred horizontal
distance of 3 m. This quantity shall be determined with the following provisions:
a) the frequency range of interest is 1 GHz to 18 GHz;
b) the quantity shall be expressed in terms of field strength units that correspond with the
units used to express the limit levels of this quantity;
c) the measurements shall be performed at an absorber-lined OATS/SAC or FAR test site,
and with a positioning table (if applicable), that complies with the validation requirements
in CISPR 16-1-4;
d) a measuring receiver compliant with CISPR 16-1-1 shall be used;
e) the use of alternative measurement distances shall comply with the criteria in 7.6.2 and
Table 12 (antenna beamwidth);
