Hello,

 

I am enjoying this conversation.

 

It's worth pointing out to the non-BBC watchers that there are no
commercials/adverts on the BBC.   They get their money through the license
fee.

So, basically, we are paying for the privilege/opportunity to watch
television without any commercials or advert breaks.   It's nice for films,
where there isn't an interruption every 20 minutes (unless you need the
toilet, of course).

 

We also have the opportunity to complain about BBC services, since we're
paying for them.   It also helps keep them politically neutral, since they
don't have sponsors to worry about.

 

Michael.

Re: [PSES] France no longer having restriction on WIFI ?‏

2012-08-10 Thread Michael Derby
Hello Jasmine,

 

The most official and ‘legal’ document is this one.

http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=OJ:L:2009:289:0019:002
0:EN:PDF

It was written in 2009 and shows that the French restriction expires from
1st July 2012.

 

As additional guidance, the European Commission post this page on ‘Class 1’
devices.

http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/sectors/rtte/files/rtte_subclass_july2012_en.
pdf

You can see sub-class 22 is for WLAN devices.

In June, it said  “2400-2454 MHz”   Now, from July, it says  “2400-2483.5
MHz”

 

I hope this helps,

 

Michael.

For a very small Licence fee the BBC provide TV, Radio and internet services 
which dominate the market. Compared to the costs of Sky and Virgin media its 
easily in reach of anyone who can afford a TV/computer.

You only need one licence per household - so you can have as many TV's as you 
like. Sky and Virgin both charge extra for set top boxes in additional rooms.

The BBC is a leading innovator in the industry with HD and the iPlayer being 
two recent successful additions.

Many of their programs are regularly top of the viewing lists (ok many of them 
are SOAPS/gameshows but it keeps the masses happy). Their science and nature 
programmes are the best around and they also put on many cultural events that 
would not be available otherwise - Last Night of the Proms etc etc.

The problem I see with the BBC is that its so dominate that independent TV and 
news services struggle to come up with financial models that will work. With 
advertising revenue being squeezed the only option is to charge and people have 
to choose to pay. Sky and Virgin are slowly making inroads but it costs.


That's my 2p worth

Re: [PSES] MIL STD 461E NECESSARY BANDWIDTH

2012-08-10 Thread Ed Price
Ralph:

 

I used the ancient HP-85869PC data acquisition software, and HP (being 
conservative) used a 1 Hz RBW for implementing an Average detector. They did 
this to extend the HP-8566B’s capabilities to commercial EMI testing. (For 
Quasi Peak, they needed an external filter and detector box that was inserted 
in the 8566B’s IF chain.)

 

However, the 461 detector is always supposed to be a Peak detector. (Except for 
CS101, where the limit is expressed in terms of Vrms. OTOH, almost everyone 
uses an oscilloscope to monitor this level, so…)

Hi Ed, 

I would have thought so too, unless 461 has an AVG limit line, in which case 
I'd use an average detector for both.   

BTW, we've found that a VBW of 10Hz does a reasonable job of emulating the 
response of an average detector defined in CISPR 16.

Charlie: 
  
The USA DoD procurement system uses a detailed contract to legally bind a 
vendor to a number of conditions, and in the EMC area, the successful 
performance of MIL-STD-461F is typical. The contract will call out which 
specific Test Methods (including variations) are applicable, so if CE106 is in 
the contract, believe me, it is mandatory. 
  
True, the early 461 was just taking an educated whack at controlling 
intentional emissions to nothing more than was reasonable and economical to 
achieve. There was little justification to why 5% was better than 7%, other 
than the ancient relationship to half the number of allocated fingers. (BTW, 
can you imagine a world in which 7 fingers or toes per hand or foot gave rise 
to a base 14 numerical system?) 
  
Lastly, why would you use a different RBW to measure the fundamental versus the 
spurious emissions? I would think that the only way to accurately measure the 
peak of a spurious was the same way that you measured the peak of the 
fundamental.

ETSI standards typically define “Spurious Emissions” as being those removed 
from cF by 250% of the necessary bandwidth. 
  
Emissions within this region are typically covered by Spectral Mask and 
Occupied Bandwidth requirements, both of which are typically measured using 
much lower RBWs than used for Spurious Emissions so that accurate measurements 
can be obtained. 
  
I’m might be talking out of my hat now, but when MIL-STD-461 was first written 
way back when, I’m sure that they were really only thinking in terms of AM/FM 
modulation - 40 MHz wide OFDM and 1GHz wide FMCW devices weren’t probably 
envisaged. 
  
Since, in my experience, CE106 isn’t actually Mandatory for selling a product, 
I would do the test in a way that seems reasonable for the operation of your 
product, document what you’ve done and why, and discuss/explain to customers as 
required. 
  
You might want to have a look at CEPT/ERC/REC 74-01 and associated documents

Airy, 
  
In MIL-STD-461F they changed the language of the exception, It now reads: 
The transmit mode portion of this requirement is not applicable within the 
bandwidth 
of the EUT transmitted signal or within ±5 percent of the fundamental 
frequency, whichever is 
larger. 
So if the necessary bandwidth is greater then +/- 5% it is still excluded. 
  
Speaking in generalities, the necessary bandwidth of whatever kind of 
transmitter it is, probably has some kind of Spectral mask requirement that is 
not a MIL-STD-461 requirement.  The spurious emissions requirements of CE106 
cannot begin until after the necessary bandwidth ends. 
  
Hope that helps.

[PSES] Ophir Amplifier 5127F for Rent?

2012-08-10 Thread Elliott Mac-FME001
Hello

Does anyone out there [if any equipment reps on list] have an OPHIR 5127F 
amplifier for 12 month lease or rental?

We used a similar one for years and suited our immunity test setup very well. 
Calibration fields were easily repeated prior to testing. Very stable amp.

The one we have now seems to have some sort of instability - the field strength 
in our chamber varies 3-5 V/m [in a 60 V/m range...] even setting the system 
for a single frequency and constant power.

Would like to see if we could find one that we know is suitable while we 
investigate the variance.

Best regards,

Mac Elliott

Re: [PSES] Ophir Amplifier 5127F for Rent?

2012-08-10 Thread Don_Borowski
I have an Amplifier Research  25A100 amplifier that developed a gain 
stability problem after 20+ years of use and several over-power incidents 
caused by several individuals including myself. Turns out that the carbon 
composition resistors used in the drain-to-gate feedback of the output 
stage had gotten tired of all the abuse. I replaced them with more stable 
metal oxide resistors and the problem went away.

Dear Folks,
I had heard that as of July 1, 2012, France removed the 100 mW indoor use 
requirement . Thus the Alert Symbol (!),is no longer required.
Does any one has the officail documents to verify this rumour. Please 
share with me,
Thanks in advance.
 
 
Best  Regards,
jasmine

[PSES] Novel transmission line equivalent circuit

2012-08-10 Thread Douglas Smith

Hi Everyone,

This month my Technical Tidbit is written by Tim Maloney of Intel for 
publication on my site. He has devised a very good transmission line 
equivalent circuit than makes it easy to understand transmission line 
impedance behavior as a function of line length and termination 
impedance. Here are the details:


Technical Tidbit - August 2012
Novel Equivalent Circuit for Zin of an Arbitrarily Terminated 
Transmission Line

(Written by Timothy J. Maloney)

Abstract: A new equivalent circuit for Zin of an arbitrarily terminated 
transmission line is presented, one which employs only lumped impedances 
and short and open line stubs in series‐parallel combination. The new 
picture readily illustrates concepts of line matching and impedance 
inversion at quarter‐wave frequencies, and also offers insights into 
transient and off‐resonance response.


The link to my home page is: http://emcesd.com/ where the article is 
linked from the picture at the bottom of the page.


The link to the article is: http://emcesd.com/tt2012/tt081012.htm

high frequency measurements (with or without the s)
