Re: [PSES] OATS vs FAR Radiated Emissions Limits

And has any of this OATS, SAR, FAR, and TEM cell data differences been correlated to actual interference problems? Is the EMC industry crying wolf? Limits and test methods should be based in reality. They should not be academic exercises. For example, much of the world's products are in the
