Luke,
Yes, because:
The phone radiation might interfere during
emission tests by
entering the chamber via a penetration
interfering with external support equipment
create spurious emissions by creating secondary mixing products
immunity tests by
being amplified (in the amplifier) along with the wanted immunity
signal
causing failures in the support equipment that are laid against the
item under test
No, because
business is more reliant than ever on mobile communications and a ban will
cut your customers off from their business
if your emc test lab is bothered by any of the items under "yes" your
customers might suspect your EMC skills are not up to the mark
you might not want your personal calls going through the company
switchboard
Otherwise - it is your call...
Regards
Tim

Hi all,
Should we ban the use of mobile phones in our test lab (i.e. outside our test
chambers, but in the same EM environment as the sig gens, spectrum analysers,
receivers etc.)?
Opinions with reasons would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Luke Turnbull
