Use of the TEM cell for compliance testing of emissions and immunity, an IEC perspective

Abstract

The current work of the IEC on preparing a standard for the use of TEM cells for compliance testing of emissions and immunity is reviewed. The requirements of TEM cells are related to the established procedures: "open area test site" and "shielded enclosure with area of uniform field", respectively. The problems of incorporating new technology into standardization as well as the existence of parallel standardized test procedures are discussed.
