I think that there might be an "ooops" in your analysis, of substracting 2 dB from the limit, Richard. A 6 dB variation in site attenuation could mean that a unit could be as much as 6 dB off the true reading. Of course, how can one measure the true reading? Only by testing the unit on a site

The last word I heard, about February-ish, was that 1326 is being held up by a disagreement over whether to incorporate the various other parts, -10, -20, -30, into a single document, or keep it as seperate documents. The general requirements section is supposedly approved, but

Use a low-noise preamplifier or preselector with integral low noise preamp. Companies such as ASI or chesapeake microwave can help you out. You may want to start with the EMI receiver manufacturer. Doug Frazee EMC Compliance Engineer Alliant Techsystems, Inc. Advanced Technology Applications 401

I can't say from UL this or that, but I can tell you that such static charges can exist on antennas. In my formative years I had a job in a little CB/TV repair shop. On one especially windy/dusty morning I walked in into the shop and I heard a loud SNAP occur every five or six

Alternate Test Sites per ANSI C63.4

Section 5.4.2 of ANSI C63.4 says, "Measurements can also be made where the requirements of 5.4.6 [NSA] are not met but it can be demonstrated to the relevant authority that the results achieved are equivalent to those obtained at an open area test site over the frequency range at which measurements

Raymond, Since this is a TV receiver, this is probably a circuit providing the antenna discharge path required by section 43 of UL 1492, the standard for Audio-Visual Products and Accessories. The purpose is to bleed off the static charge which builds up on a typical TV outdoor antenna, caus

System requirements for RE102 When performing the emission test RE102 according to MIL-STD-461/462D we observe that the test system noise floor is at some frequencies just below the most stringent limit (navy mobile and army). This is when we use the bandwidths prescribed by the standard. We can l

In most of television receivers, the mains is isolated by an isolating transformer. However, a RC-unit (i.e., two 5.6M ohm resistors in series and connected parallel with a 0.022uF capacitor) is connected between accessible parts and mains. What is the primary function of this RC-unit? According

I believe that this standard recently approved. The EN version will be renumbered EN61326-1 and (according to ERA's Safety and EMC Newsletter) should have been ratified by Cenelec in March. As for when it will be published in the Official Journal (i.e. when it will become a standard that can
