Hello,

For uncertainty take a look at "Results of the CISPR/A Radiated Emission
Round Robin Test", P.A. Beeckman and J.J. Goedbloed IEEE 2001. 

Summary of 15 sites - controlled EUT < 4 dB vartiation, Un-controlled EUT up
to 9 dB variation.

Regards,

Ken Hall

Subject: RE: Measurement Consistency of OATS 



We have noticed a change in our OATS characteristics depending upon the
dampness of the area. It is especially noticeable this time of year when we
get a lot of rain in Florida. Does anyone else experience this phenomena?

More to your question Mat, the major contributors to the measurement
uncertainty would be the repeatability of the setup of the EUT and test
equipment (e.g., distance from EUT to antenna) and the stability/drift of
the EUT and test equipment. Half of these parameters are human based (setup)
and should vary less if the same person performs all of the tests. I have
not seen a paper on this subject. Unually these variations are lighly
covered in texts on measurement uncertainty.

Subject: Measurement Consistency of OATS 



Hello,  
Have any of you seen a paper written on the measurement consistency of an
OATS?
If I were to have a product repeatedly measured at an OATS, how close should
I expect the measurements to be? 
For sake of this example, there are no cables. All measurements are
performed at the same OATS. The EUT is assumed not to change between tests.
