What about calibration? Is a trailer ball NIST traceable? =:P As a 'CTDP' participant I have to maintain a cal list on all instruments I use in the course of my tests and include it with any test reports I ship to agencies. I had to get my certified 'sphere' calibrated recently. -Not that it

And how much for the Calibration Certificate? BTW - I have NEVER (in 10 years) used the pendulum test - I have placed the UUT (or a representative piece) on the floor and dropped the steel ball through a tube onto the test piece. (IMPORTANT NOTE - STAND ON A CHAIR - it bounces and it hurts!!!)

Jon, Several years ago, we contacted a ball-bearing company and told them what we needed regarding the weight and diameter. They had no problem providing a suitable ball. (It would not surprise me if this was the origin of the steel ball standard.) The cost was about $6 per ball. Originally

The cheapest way to go is to get a 2 trailer ball from WalMart and cut off the flange and threads with a hacksaw or Sawzall. File to a spherical shape. Drill and tap a hole for an eye bolt that can be installed for the pendulum test. About $10 US? Dan From: JENKINS, JEFF jeff.jenk...@aei.com

Move the antenna further away. then use correction factors to calculate what it would have been at the original distance. Magnetic fields decrease as the inverse cube of the distance. So just apply a correction factor to boost the amplitude back up. For example, twice the distance away means

Hi all, Take a look on the standards below. It seems that they cover the same technical EMC issues. Am I right and if so, why these two standards ? EN 301 489-01: V1.2.1 (07-2000) Electromagnetic compatibility and Radio spectrum Matters (ERM); ElectroMagnetic Compatibility (EMC) standard for
