Passive RF and microwave devices, intermodulation level measurement - Part 5: Measurement of passive intermodulation in filters (IEC 62037-5:2021)

This part of IEC 62037 defines test fixtures and procedures recommended for measuring levels
of passive intermodulation generated by filters, typically used in wireless communication
systems. The purpose is to define qualification and acceptance test methods for filters for use
in low intermodulation (low IM) applications

Dispositifs RF et à micro-ondes passifs, mesure du niveau d’intermodulation - Partie 5: Mesure de l’intermodulation passive dans les filtres (IEC 62037-5:2021)

IEC 62037-5:2021 est disponible sous forme de IEC 62037-5:2021 RLV qui contient la Norme internationale et sa version Redline, illustrant les modifications du contenu technique depuis l'édition précédente.

L'IEC 62037-5:2021 définit les dispositifs et les procédures d’essai recommandés pour mesurer des niveaux d’intermodulation passive générés par des filtres, généralement utilisés dans des systèmes de communication sans fil. L’objectif est de définir des méthodes d’essai de qualification et de réception pour des filtres destinés à être utilisés dans des applications de faible intermodulation (faible IM). Cette seconde édition annule et remplace la première édition parue en 2013.Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l’édition précédente:
a. mise à jour des exigences d’essais dynamiques pour définir l’énergie de choc et les emplacements auxquels les chocs doivent être appliqués aux dispositifs en essai.

Pasivne radiofrekvenčne (RF) in mikrovalovne naprave, meritve intermodulacijskega nivoja - 5. del: Meritve pasivne intermodulacije v filtrih (IEC 62037-5:2021)

Ta del standarda IEC 62037 določa preskusne vpenjalne naprave in postopke, ki so priporočljivi za merjenje ravni pasivne intermodulacije, ki jo proizvedejo filtri, običajno uporabljeni v brezžičnih komunikacijskih sistemih. Namen je določiti kvalifikacijske in sprejemljivostne preskusne metode za filtre za uporabo pri nizki intermodulaciji (nizka IM).

INTERMODULATION LEVEL MEASUREMENT –

Part 5: Measurement of passive intermodulation in filters

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.
IEC 62037-5 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 46: Cables, wires, waveguides, RF
connectors, RF and microwave passive components and accessories. It is an International
Standard.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2013. This edition
constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
a) dynamic testing requirements updated to define impact energy and locations to apply
impacts to devices under test.
