Putting a field probe beside the eut is a function test. This can be used as part of ISO17025 accreditation requirements.

The measurement with the EUT in the field should be all over the place and would have little value. Am I missing something or are some labs leveling off the Field Probe during testing? From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ian White (UK) Sent: Tuesday, September 27, 2011 6:00 AM To: IEEE Forum ([email protected]) Subject: BS EN61000-4-3 and calibrated fields. Could you please help: Could you explain what is the correct procedure when using an anechoic chamber which is calibrated and operating to EN61000-4-3. During calibration of the chamber, a calibration file is made and it is assessed according to the guidelines laid down under BS EN61000-4-3. During calibration the chamber is empty. During a normal test run a UUT is put into the chamber. The questions is : a) Do you use the calibration file as the starting point and adjust the field strength which may have changed due to the UUT being in the chamber. b) Just take the calibration file and run it and except the filed strengths would have changed due to the UUT being in the chamber.
