I think the operative phrase is "and antennas designed to be permanently mounted to the EUTs." If it is permanently mounted, you cannot disconnect it and connect a dummy load. If it is permanently mounted, you cannot transmit during RE102 (unless you mounted it in the control, not test chamber). > From: "Price, Ed" <[email protected]> > Date: Mon, 12 Jul 2004 07:54:34 -0700 > To: "'[email protected]'" <[email protected]> > Subject: MIL-STD-461E Method RE102 Applicability > > http://www.ieee-pses.org/symposium > http://www.emc2004.org/ > -------------------------------------------------- > > And now for something completely different, a question on the applicability > of Method RE102. > > Paragraph 5.16.1, RE102 Applicability, reads: > > "This requirement is applicable for radiated emissions from equipment and > subsystem enclosures, all interconnecting cables, and antennas designed to > be permanently mounted to the EUTs (receivers and transmitters in standby > mode)." > > I normally test a transmitter by operating it, with modulation, into a dummy > load placed directly onto its RF output port.
