I have often wondered exactly why there are two classes in EN55022. The limits are pretty similar, does a 13dB difference in conducted emission QP limits really make a difference above 5MHz? I know the 23dB difference <5MHz (conducted emissions) helps with products that have a SMPS, for example. In the radiated emissions the difference is 10dB. In the real world is there really a need for two limits?
