IMO - It's all a question of balance: For all practical purposes 1)- if you have margin (i.e . the MU), then no antenna movement is required. 2) - If the EUT is small wrt to the measurement distance: ditto 3) If your EUT FILLS the turntable and/or you have minimal margin the antenna adjustment

That would be a reasonably challenging objective. I believe the principle now is in a way sound: if you follow the standard's text to the letter, now when you record the final reading from your receiver the horizontal distance between antenna and EUT really is 10 metres. And this single

Figure three shows the minimum size of the metal ground plane for an OATS, nothing more. Figure 2 illustrates the straight line perimeter of the EUT. This is also the same in CISPR 22, Edition 5 which was published in 2005 and is the basis for EN 55022:2006. And you are correct, the actual

To be precise in the measurement distance, yes. Now, what many will do is test at a closer distance and only move the antenna back for a particular turntable position if additional margin to the limit is needed. I've never seen a lab move the mast forwards and backwards, but a strict reading
