2013-09-17 Thread Ian McBurney
Dear Colleagues; I am trying to combine FCC 47 CFR part 15 and Canadian ICES-003:2012 radiated rf emission testing for a digital device that is an unintentional radiator. However; looking into the test standards for each country I am getting perplexed. It appears that for 47 CFR part 15 sub

Hello, For the FCC, their rules do state ANSI C63.4-2003 only. However, their website confirms you can use either 2003 and 2009. I can confirm that it is ok to use 2009. http://transition.fcc.gov/oet/ea/eameasurements.html Changing the FCC rules is not a quick process. There is
