I like the 7405a EMC SA to 26.5 GHz. We have a compact 3m. I've added cones and tiles to make a semi FAC. While the NSA is just about in, it is somewhat different than the OATS we have. How do you do a NSA without the 4m scan? Think out of the box! It is still not valid, but for engineer

Hi Jim, First. Get the conflict of interest warning out of the way... Second. Almost everything you need answers to are one of the reasons we set up EMC LAB Services. Suggest you contact Wally Pilat there. I'm still using my 8566 SA's. As yet they still do everything I need. I had the collie

Good luck Jim… We moved one two years ago and that pain is still fresh in my mind. The only advice I can offer on that is to label everything and take plenty of notes/pictures. While I won’t be moving a chamber anytime soon, we are trying to get approval to replace the same, aging 856x

Hi everyone: We are about to move (groan) and while this generally is a pain, it provides the opportunity to fix a few problems along the way. Our 3m SAC is usable, and indeed gets fairly heavy use, but is not as good as I think it could be, in a few ways: - Our emissions measurement

I like that one. Some labs have a good projector for a remote display of the receiver while troubleshooting and this would be a good secondary use. J Ghery S. Pettit From: emc-p...@ieee.org [mailto:emc-p...@ieee.org] On Behalf Of Bob Casiano (bcasiano) Sent: Monday, February 14, 2011

Anechoic Chamber use

2011-02-14 Thread emc-p...@ieee.org
Okay, So, I’ve seen some creative uses for Anechoic chambers. But, I don’t recall ever seeing one in a cartoon. It doesn’t have a Valentine theme but I thought you might like some humor targeting the EMC community. The cartoon is titled, “PhD Required” http://www.eeweb.com/rtz/phd-required .

How does the FCC Docket Process work?

FCC WT Docket 10-4 caught my eye. Opened last year and submitted comments were supposed to have ended on March 8, 2010. It’s still open, comments are still being filed. What is the timeline? When/how does the FCC provide feedback. http://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/ecfs/proceeding/view?name=10-4

Site validation question, 1-6GHz Radiated Emissions

For the CISPR 16 1-6GHz radiated emissions site validation procedure, is there a requirement that the site validation be performed (and pass) with each antenna that we intend to use to make these measurements? We have two of the same model horn. Do I need to make the validation measurements

Every morning, I endure severe disturbance to my sleep patterns due to uncontrolled daylight emissions from an unlicensed 4*10^25 Watt transmitter. I’d move to a cave, but then I’d have to endure fungal and bat-shriek immunity issues. Sadly, I don’t anticipate any regulatory relief. Ed
