RE: GTEM Stuff

The GTEM is a guided wave device and usually we tend to think of polarization in terms of free space (unguided waves). Being a TEM transmission line, the direction of the field in the cell is between the inner and outer conductor, the way most GTEM's are constructed and given the location where

Al, It relaxed the limits for almost all products except ITE, TV's, etc. I do not remember all the details since I have not had to apply it yet. Essentially the harmonic current limits are no longer relative based on the power consumption of the device but based are on absolute values as if the

Joe, If the transmitting antenna (your product) and the receiving antenna were in free space, you pretty much could assume that the radiation falls off at 1/r^2, and thus use a 10.5dB correction factor between 10m and 3m measurements. (You might have to worry about near-field effects and antenna

I'd say either a comb generator, or a sweep generator but use them to excite a test object of the same general size as the equipment you wish to test. The smaller your chamber, the more it will be affected by the size of an EUT sitting in it. If you can be pretty sure what you will test, add its
