Yes, you are right, I overlooked this section, so they are now consistent.
>>> <[email protected]> 12/03/02 04:28pm >>> However in C63.4 : 2000, Section 5.4.6.5 (NSA for alternative test sites) a groundplane is called out. Section 5.4.6.5 is referenced from Section 5.4.2. The very last sentence of Section 5.4.6.5 states, "The alternative test site is considered suitable for performing radiated emissions testing if all NSA measurements prescribed above meet the requirements of 5.4.6.1 and the reference groundplane requirements of 5.4.3...."

For alternative test sites of radiated emission testing, C63.4 : 2001 In Section 5.4.2, it only requires volumetric NSA requirements, no requirement for ground plane. C63.4 : 1992 In section 5.4.2, it requires volumetric NSA requirements(5.4.6) and ground plane requirements( 5.4.3) CISPR 16-1 : 1998 In section 16.7.3, it requires both volumetric NSA and ground plane requirements. Any charge of the latest CISPR 16-1: 1999 ? ------------------------------------------- This message is from the IEEE EMC Society Product Safety Technical Committee emc-pstc discussion list.
