Master the practical world of EMC testing with this authoritative reference.
This guide offers a clear, hands-on look at electromagnetic compatibility and interference metrology, covering key measurement methods used in open-site tests, TEM cells, shielding assessments, anechoic chambers, and open-field measurements.
Designed for engineers and technicians, the book explains how to plan, execute, and interpret radiated and conducted EMC tests. It includes discussions on measurement setups, standard field references, and contemporary topics like complex electromagnetic environments and out-of-band concerns. The material supports a short course format, outlining the strengths and limitations of each method.
- Open-site and TEM cell measurement techniques with practical calculation notes
- Shielding effectiveness, anechoic chamber measurements, and reverberating chambers
- Guidance on probes, field standards, and instrumentation for radiated and conducted EMI
- Context on regulatory standards and how to apply EMC/EMI testing in real-world scenarios
Ideal for readers building or validating EMC test plans, and for those seeking a solid foundation in EMI metrology concepts.
NBS/TN-1099 is a detailed, standards-oriented resource that supports hands-on learning and practical application in EMC labs.
