On the introduction of radiated emissions measurements below 30 MHz in CISPR 16

Abstract

Since 2010 CISPR product committees have become increasingly concerned about advances in technology, for example plasma televisions using some ISM (Industrial Scientific and Medical) frequency bands, that might impact the radio frequency spectrum control below 30 MHz. As a result, CISPR Subcommittee A (CISPR/A) has since been working on developing methods of radiated measurements to address this concern. This work is culminating in amendments to the basic standard CISPR 16 that are still in preparation and are currently forecast for publication through 2020 to 2021. CISPR product committees are currently tracking this work with the intention of referencing it as they adapt their own standards to this frequency range. This paper is designed to draw the attention of all users of EMC Anechoic Chambers to these important changes.
