Dear experts, I have a question about definition of antenna-to-EUT distance in CISPR 22 and ANSI C63.4.
CISPR 22:2005 clause 10.3.1 ("Antenna-to-EUT distance") says that: Measurement of the radiated field shall be made with the antenna located at the horizontal distance from boundary of the EUT as specified in Clause 6. The boundary of the EUT is defined by an imaginary straight-line periphery describing a simple geometric configuration encompassing the EUT. This text is not very clear for me, but I think use of the "imaginary straight-line periphery" suggests that it is not intended to define the distance as the minimum distance between the antenna and boundary of the EUT when the EUT is rotated. I think that the Figure 2 suggests the same thing, and the figure also suggests that the distance is to be measured from front, or front or rear, of the EUT. Does anybody know clearer interpretation about this? And what about ANSI C63.4-2003, which simply says that: The specified distance is the distance between the horizontal projection onto the groundplane of the closest periphery of the EUT and the projection onto the groundplane of the center of the axis of the elements of the receiving antenna. in its clause 8.2.3?
