I'm responding to this a little late, and only have one thing to add to what has already been mentioned. IMHO if the emissions "legal" absorbers will give you a uniform field for immunity, then you could use them for immunity testing as well. The only reason why you might want to use a different type of absorber for immunity is if they perform better and give a significant improvement in the uniformity, and possibly reduce the amount of power needed.

ETS-Lindgren confirmed this and said that the 30cm absorber is designed to sit directly on the floor (not on the ferrite tile) so I would have to change the floor absorber between Immunity and Emissions. This is what I'm trying to avoid. - ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message is from the IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society emc-pstc discussion list.
