First thing is you need to decide what you are trying to accomplish and it eventually gets into philosophies about reliability. If you are trying to measure reliability some of the good books are: Pat O'Connor's Practical Reliability Engineering which is a good intro book; Finn Jensen's

The former Rome Air Development Center is just down the road from here. I just wanted to point out that their name was changed to Rome Labs during the 90's. So, if you don't have any luck with RADC or Rome Air Development Center, try Rome Labs. They also have a spin-off dedicated to reliability

A much simpler answer is that as long as source (EUT) is small relative to separation and separation is long relative to a wavelength then 1/r scaling is fairly accurate, but if those conditions are not met scaling for another distance cannot be performed. My earlier posting on this subject

Hi all, I am trying to re-design our current power supply to meet GR-1089-Core Specification. The Power Supply has a -48V input and 5VDC/100W, 5VDC/100W and 12VDC/150W Output. Based on current testing, we did not comply with Section 9.10.6 Frame Surge Test. This test applies a surge current as

1) You can check the list of notified bodies to verify the NB listing. 2) The lab was probably accredited to EN45001 when it was valid. Accrediting bodies are transferring accreditations from 45001 and ISO Guide 25 to IEC/ISO/EN17025 but an 'upgrade' is not automatic, nor did it begin with the
