FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

1 Scope
NOTE Blue coloured text within this document indicates text that will be aligned with the future MME immunity
publication CISPR 35.
This International Standard applies to multimedia equipment (MME) as defined in 3.1.24 and
having a rated r.m.s. AC or DC supply voltage not exceeding 600 V.
Equipment within the scope of CISPR 13 or CISPR 22 is within the scope of this publication.
MME intended primarily for professional use is within the scope of this publication.
The radiated emission requirements in this standard are not intended to be applicable to the
intentional transmissions from a radio transmitter as defined by the ITU, nor to any spurious
emissions related to these intentional transmissions.
Equipment, for which emission requirements in the frequency range covered by this
publication are explicitly formulated in other CISPR publications (except CISPR 13 and
CISPR 22), are excluded from the scope of this publication.
In-situ testing is outside the scope of this publication.
This publication covers two classes of MME (Class A and Class B). The MME classes are
specified in Clause 4.
The objectives of this publication are:
1) to establish requirements which provide an adequate level of protection of the radio

spectrum, allowing radio services to operate as intended in the frequency range 9 kHz to
400 GHz;
2) to specify procedures to ensure the reproducibility of measurement and the repeatability of
results.

BS EN 55032:2015+A11:2020
– 18 – CISPR 32:2015  IEC 2015
The Class B requirements for equipment are intended to offer adequate protection to
broadcast services within the residential environment.
Equipment intended primarily for use in a residential environment shall meet the Class B
limits. All other equipment shall comply with the Class A limits.
Broadcast receiver equipment is class B equipment.
NOTE Equipment meeting Class A requirements may not offer adequate protection to broadcast services within a
residential environment.
5 Requirements
The requirements for equipment covered within the scope of this publication are defined in
Annex A.
6 Measurements
6.1 General
This clause defines the measurement facilities and instrumentation specific to the
measurement of emissions from MME; it includes by reference the relevant basic
requirements given in the CISPR 16 series and other standards shown in the normative
references in this standard. It also defines how to configure and arrange the EUT, local AE
and associated cabling, and provides the relevant measurement procedures.
The specification of the measurement facility, measurement equipment, procedures, and the
arrangement of the measurement equipment to be used are given in the basic standards
referred to in the tables in Annex A. Unless otherwise specified, the basic standards shall be
used for all aspects of the measurement.
Where there are conflicts in the information presented in the CISPR 16 series and this
publication, the content of this publication takes precedence.
The procedures to be used for measurement of emission levels depend upon several
elements. These include but are not limited to:
• the type of EUT,

• the type of port,
• the types of cables used,
• the frequency range,
• the mode of operation.
If a single port satisfies the definition of more than one of the types of port defined in this
standard, it is subject to the requirements for each of the port types that it satisfies. Where a
port is specified by the manufacturer for use with both screened and unscreened cables, the
port shall be evaluated with both cable types.
6.2 Host systems and modular EUT
This subclause describes how to configure EUTs that are a host system or modular in nature.
Modular systems can comprise different types of module(s), for example the EUT can be:
• an external module, for example an infra-red remote control;

• an internal module, for example a computer hard disk;
• a plug-in module, for example a memory stick;
BS EN 55032:2015+A11:2020
CISPR 32:2015  IEC 2015 – 19 –
• a mounted module, for example a sound card or a video card.
Modules intended to be marketed and/or sold separately from a host shall be assessed with at
least one representative host system. The modules may be internal, mounted, plug-in or
external as illustrated in Figure 2. The port(s) of any module being assessed shall be
terminated in accordance with Annex D. The functions of the host device that are specific to
the module being assessed shall be exercised during the measurements. Modules shown to
meet the requirements of this publication in any one representative host are deemed to meet
the requirements of this publication when used in any host. The host and modules used
during measurements shall be listed in the test report.
Host
Internal module
Plug-in module
Cable connected
Mounted module external module
Cables

External module
(infra-red remote
Internal module control for example)
IEC
Figure 2 – Example of a host system with different types of modules
Modules whose functionality and connectivity allow them to be either, plug-in, internal,
mounted and/or external shall be measured in each of the applicable configurations. However,
where it can be shown that one particular configuration provides a worst case, measurement
in the worst case configuration is sufficient to show compliance.
When the EUT is a host, it shall be configured with modules so that the resulting system is
representative of typical use.
In the case where the EUT is a module, the host is considered as an AE.
In the case of plug-in, mounted, external or internal modules, the host shall be located in the
measurement area.
6.3 Measurement procedure
Measurements shall be performed as follows:
• using the relevant measurement methods and procedures given in Table A.1,
Table A.8 and Annex C, and the EUT exercised in accordance with Annex B;
• with the EUT, local AE and associated cabling configured and arranged, and with ports
loaded as shown in 6.2 and Annex D;
• in accordance with supporting information and clarifications defined elsewhere within
this publication.
BS EN 55032:2015+A11:2020
– 20 – CISPR 32:2015  IEC 2015
In addition, during prescan measurements, the arrangement of the EUT, the arrangement of
the local AE and the placement of cables shall be varied within the range of typical and
normal placement to attempt to determine the cable arrangement giving the maximum
emission level, as described in Annex D.
The arrangement for formal measurement shall be representative of a typical arrangement of

the EUT, local AE and associated cabling.
The measurement is performed with the EUT and/or AE arranged either as floor-standing
equipment, table-top equipment or combinations thereof as defined in D.1.1 and illustrated in
Figure D.2 to Figure D.12.
For some products it is not always obvious how the EUT and/or AE should be arranged. This
may be due to variations in the configurations of the EUT in practice, physical or practical
limitations. Examples of these arrangements include:
• wall, ceiling or rack mounted,

• handheld,
• body worn.
For example, a video projector can be positioned in various ways with respect to walls, ceiling
or the floor of a room. D.1.1 defines the additional information needed to configure the EUT to
simulate these types of arrangements.
7 Equipment documentation
The user documentation and/or manual shall contain details of any special measures required
to be taken by the purchaser or user to ensure EMC compliance of the EUT with the
requirements of this publication. One example would be the need to use shielded or special
cables, such as category 5 F/UTP or category 6 U/UTP cabling as defined in ISO IEC 11801.
Equipment compliant with the class A requirements of this publication should have a warning
notice in the user manual stating that it could cause radio interference. For example
Warning: Operation of this equipment in a residential environment could cause

radio interference.
8 Applicability
Measurements shall be performed on the relevant ports of the EUT according to the
appropriate tables given in Annex A.
Where a manufacturer determines from the electrical characteristics and intended usage of
the EUT that one or more measurements are unnecessary, the decision and justification not
to perform these measurements shall be recorded in the test report.
The following table shows the highest frequency up to which radiated emission measurements
shall be performed.
Based upon the value of F x , Table 1 specifies the highest frequency applicable for the limits
given in Table A.3 or Table A.5.

F x > 1 GHz 5 × F x up to a maximum of 6 GHz
NOTE 1 For FM and TV broadcast receivers, F x is determined from the highest frequency generated or
used excluding the local oscillator and tuned frequencies.
NOTE 2 F x is defined in 3.1.18.
NOTE 3 For outdoor units of home satellite receiving systems highest measured frequency shall be 18
GHz.
Where F x is unknown, the radiated emission measurements shall be performed up to 6 GHz.
9 Test report
General requirements for compiling a test report taken from 5.10 of ISO IEC 17025:2005, can
be found in Annex F. Sufficient details shall be provided to facilitate reproducibility of the
measurements. This shall include photographs of the measurement configuration for the
formal measurements where this is appropriate.
The test report shall state the mode of operation of the EUT and how its ports were exercised
(see Annex B). The test report shall clearly indicate whether the product is compliant with the
Class A or Class B limits defined in Annex A.
For each relevant table clause in Annex A, the test report shall include the measurement
results of at least the six highest emissions relative to the limit for each detector type, 4 unless
the emissions are:
• below the measurement system noise floor, or

The results shall include the following information for each of these emissions:
• the port assessed (including enough information to identify it);

• for AC power line measurements the line under test, for example line or neutral;
• frequency and amplitude of the emission;
• margin with respect to the specified limit;
• the limit at the frequency of the emission;
• the detector used.
The report shall indicate if fewer than six emissions within 10 dB of the limit are observed.
NOTE It can also be beneficial to record emissions 10 dB or more below the limit. In addition other aspects, such

• the frequency F x of the highest internal frequency source within the EUT as defined in
3.1.18. This frequency need not be reported if radiated emissions are measured up to
6 GHz;
• the calculated measurement instrumentation uncertainty for each measurement type
performed (see Table 1 of CISPR 16-4-2:2011). No reporting is required if U cispr is not
defined for the relevant measurement type;
• the category of cable simulated by the AAN, where emissions from wired network ports
are measured using an AAN. See Table C.2;
• the measurement distance for radiated emission measurements as defined in C.2.2.4
and Table A.2 to Table A.7. If another measurement distance is used, the report shall
include a description of how the limits were calculated.
Further guidance is given in Annex F.
10 Compliance with this publication
Compliance with this publication requires that the EUT satisfies either the Class A or Class B
requirements defined in Annex A, as appropriate. An EUT which fulfils the applicable
requirements specified in Annex A is deemed to fulfil the requirements in the entire frequency
range from 9 kHz to 400 GHz. No measurements need be performed at frequencies where no
requirement is specified.
Where this publication gives options for measuring particular requirements with a choice of
measurement methods, compliance can be shown against any of the specified limits using the
appropriate measurement method. In any situation where it is necessary to re-measure the
equipment to show compliance with this publication, the measurement method originally
chosen shall be used in order to guarantee consistency of the results, unless it is agreed by
the manufacturer to do otherwise. Requirements for radiated emission measurements are
defined in Table A.2 to Table A.7 with the restrictions and limitations defined in Table A.1.
Requirements for conducted emission measurements are defined in Table A.9 to Table A.13
with the restrictions defined in Table A.8.
The determination of compliance with this publication shall be based solely on contributions
from the EUT. For example, where an AE is required to exercise or monitor the EUT, and
emissions from the AE are known to contribute to the overall measured emission of the
system being assessed (for example an AE which is a plug-in module for the EUT), the AE
selected should, wherever possible, be compliant with relevant emission limits. If the AE is
known to cause significant emissions, these emissions may be reduced by mitigation
measures, as long as these measures do not reduce the emissions from the EUT. The
preferred configuration is that the AE is removed from the measurement area, as allowed by
D.1.
Compliance can be shown by measuring the EUT’s emissions when operating its functions
simultaneously, individually in turn, or any combination thereof.
11 Measurement uncertainty
The measurement instrumentation uncertainty shall be calculated in accordance with

CISPR 16-4-2 and reported as described in Clause 9.
Measurement instrumentation uncertainty shall not be taken into account in the determination
of compliance. Refer to CISPR TR 16-4-3 for guidance on the applicability of the limits to a
series produced MME.

Annex A
(normative)
Requirements
A.1 General
The requirements for an EUT covered by this publication are given on a port by port basis in
Table A.1 to Table A.13, respectively.
Throughout this annex and unless otherwise stated:
The peak detector limits in Table A.3 and Table A.5 shall not be applied to emissions
produced by arcs or sparks that are high voltage breakdown events. Such emissions arise
when MME devices contain or control mechanical switches that control current in inductors, or
when MME devices contain or control subsystems that create static electricity (such as paper
handling devices). The average limits apply to emissions from arcs or sparks. Both peak and
average limits apply to other emissions from such MME devices.
Other measurement methods and associated limits for RVCs and GTEM cells are presented in
Annex H for information.
Where the limit value varies over a given frequency range, it changes linearly with respect to
the logarithm of the frequency. For example, a graphical representation of the AC mains
power port limits defined in Table A.10 is presented in Figure A.1.

• Where there is a step in the relevant limit, the lower value shall be applied at the
transition frequency.
• The measurements shall be limited to:
a) the operating ranges of voltage and frequency as specified for the EUT, having
regard to the supply voltage and frequency for the intended market of the EUT.
Measurement at two nominal voltages of 230 V (±10 V) and 110 V (±10 V), using a
frequency of 50 Hz or 60 Hz, is normally sufficient for an EUT intended for
worldwide use.
b) the environmental parameters (temperature, humidity and atmospheric pressure)
specified for the EUT.
BS EN 55032:2015+A11:2020
– 24 – CISPR 32:2015  IEC 2015
No additional environmental parameters are defined. It is not necessary to repeat

measurements at more than one set of environmental parameters.
• If different detectors have been specified, the EUT shall be assessed using all relevant
detectors against the appropriate limits. This procedure can be optimised by use of the
decision trees in Figure C.3 to Figure C.5.
• For Ethernet interfaces, measurements are required at the highest data rate supported
by the interface.
• The measurement facility validation shall be performed in accordance with the relevant
basic standard and, for the purposes of this publication, may be limited to the
frequency range where requirements are defined in Annex A.
• Equipment with a DC power port powered by a dedicated AC/DC power converter is
considered to be AC mains powered equipment and shall be measured with a power
converter. Where the power converter is provided by the manufacturer, the converter
provided shall be used.
A.2 Requirements for radiated emissions
The EUT is deemed to comply fully with the radiated emission requirements in this publication
when it has been shown to be compliant with the applicable limits as given in Table A.2 to
Table A.7 using the specified requirements in the relevant table clause. 5
Compliance may only be shown at measurement distances for which compliant measurement
facility (or site) validation measurements exist for the measurement facility used.
Where limits in a frequency range are given for different types of measurement facility and/or
distances, measurements only need to be performed using one combination of measurement
facility and distance. The same combination shall be used for all frequencies in the range.

Annex B
(normative)
Exercising the EUT during measurement

and test signal specifications
B.1 General
This annex specifies the methods for exercising the EUT during the emission measurements.
MME typically have several different functions and numerous modes of operation associated
with each function.
For each function, or group of functions selected to exercise the EUT, a number of
representative modes of operation, including low power/standby mode, shall be considered for
testing. The mode(s) that produce(s) the highest emissions shall be selected for the final
measurements.
The EUT shall be operated in the selected mode(s) while the ports are exercised in
accordance with this annex.
The emissions from the various ports (as required by this publication) shall be measured while
appropriate test signals are applied as specified in this annex.
All ports, including loudspeakers and display devices, shall be exercised in a manner
consistent with, and representative of, normal use. Exercising signals, audio levels and
display parameters shall be chosen having regard to the intended function of the EUT and
shall be such as to allow the correct operation of the EUT to be assessed.
Subsequent clauses give further clarification to aid reproducibility between laboratories. A

description of the methods used to exercise the EUT and all relevant ports shall be recorded
in the test report. Where a deviation in the application of one of the methods defined in this
annex is used (for example using a different signal level or image), a justification shall be
included in the test report.
B.2 Exercising of EUT ports
B.2.1 Audio signals
For EUTs that support audio signals, the signal used to exercise the EUT shall be a 1 kHz
sinusoidal signal unless otherwise specified as more appropriate by the manufacturer.
B.2.2 Video signals
EUTs that display video images or EUTs with ports that are used to provide video signals
shall be exercised in accordance with Table B.1 and configured, where possible, using the
parameters given in Table B.2.
Video ports shall output signals, and images shall be displayed, corresponding to the highest
complexity level listed in Table B.1 that the EUT is capable of generating. However, the
manufacturer may choose to exercise the displays and video ports using the text image given
in Table B.1 (Complexity level 2) where emission levels using this text image are not reduced

Examples of digital broadcast signal specifications for digital broadcast receiver ports are
given in Table B.4.
The radiated emissions and mains power port conducted emissions from an EUT with
broadcast reception functionality shall be assessed when tuned to one channel in each
reception mode, for example: analogue TV, DVB-T, DVB-C, analogue radio, digital radio etc.
For guidance on how to determine channel/s for conducted measurements on the broadcast

For ports supporting Ethernet traffic (for example 100Base-T, 1000Base-T), that can operate
at multiple rates, measurements may be limited to mode in which the EUT operates at its
maximum rate.
When assessing an EUT transmitting 10Base-T Ethernet traffic, apply the following:
In order to make reliable emission measurements representative of high LAN utilization it is
only necessary to create a condition of LAN utilization in excess of 10 % and sustain that
level for a minimum of 250 ms. The content of the test traffic should consist of both periodic
and pseudo-random messages in order to emulate realistic types of data transmission.
(Examples of pseudo-random messages: files that are compressed or encrypted.
Examples of periodic messages: uncompressed graphic files, memory dumps, screen
updates, disk images.) If the LAN maintains transmission during idle periods, measurements
shall also be made during idle periods.
All other ports not A representative signal shall be defined by the manufacturer.

Annex C
(normative)
Measurement procedures, instrumentation

and supporting information
C.1 General
This annex provides additional information, measurement procedures and requirements to

supplement the normative references defined in Table A.1 and Table A.8. Further supporting
information is also provided in Annex G (informative).
This annex is divided into 3 main clauses:
C.2 Instrumentation and supporting information;

C.3 General measurement procedures;
C.4 MME-related measurement procedures.
C.2 Instrumentation and supporting information
C.2.1 General
Each piece of measurement apparatus shall comply with the relevant requirements defined in
the basic standards given in Table A.1 and Table A.8.
C.2.2 Using CISPR 16 series as the basic standard
C.2.2.1 General
The measuring receiver shall meet the relevant specifications of CISPR 16-1-1:2010, defined
in Clause 2. Detectors and bandwidths shall be used as specified in relevant tables in
Annex A. Where this publication specifies the use of an average detector, the linear average
detector defined in Clause 6 of CISPR 16-1-1:2010 shall be used.
If the level of an isolated emission exceeds any relevant limit, it shall be ignored, provided
that the following two conditions are met when measured over a two minute interval:
1) the emission does not exceed the limit for more than 1 s;
2) the emission does not exceed the limit more than once in any 15 s observation period.
Care shall be taken to avoid overloading the measurement system. See Annex E.
Measurement instruments provided with RF preselectors, which automatically follow the

frequency being scanned, shall have a sufficiently long measurement time on each frequency
to avoid errors in the measured amplitude values.
When using spectrum analysers during prescan (see C.3.2) measurements, the video
bandwidth of the measurement instrument should be equal to, or greater than, the resolution
bandwidth in order not to influence the measurement results. Other settings of resolution and
video bandwidth may be used, but care should be taken to ensure the settings do not
adversely influence the results.

C.2.2.2 Antennas for radiated emissions measurements
Any suitable broadband linearly polarised antenna or tuned dipole may be used during
measurements. These shall be calibrated in free space conditions using the procedures in
ANSI C63.5.
C.2.2.3 Ambient signals
If ambient signals are masking EUT emissions then the procedure defined in Annex A of
CISPR 16-2-3:2010/AMD1:2010 shall be used to reduce the impact of each ambient. The
frequencies and levels of the ambient signals masking EUT emissions shall be recorded in the
test report.
C.2.2.4 Boundary of the EUT, local AE and associated cabling and measurement
distance for radiated emissions measurements
The EUT and local AE shall be arranged in the most compact practical arrangement within the
test volume, while respecting typical spacing and the requirements defined in Annex D. The
central point of the arrangement shall be positioned at the centre of the turntable. The
measurement distance is the shortest horizontal distance between an imaginary circular
periphery just encompassing this arrangement and the calibration point of the antenna. See
Figure C.1 and Figure C.2.

Where possible any HID should be placed in a typical arrangement. HID may be placed at the
front edge of the table if the table is not deeper than 1 m. If a deeper table is used, the HID
may only be placed at the front edge if this does not increase the size of the imaginary
circular periphery, otherwise the HID may be placed at a distance of 1 m from the back edge
of the table to the front of the HID.
Where AE is placed outside the measurement area (as described in D.1.1), this remotely
located AE and its associated cabling shall not be considered to be within the circular
periphery for the purposes of defining the measurement distance.
Where a test facility has been validated (in accordance with Tables 1 and 2 of
CISPR 16-1-4:2010/AMD1:2012 or in C.4.4) for a different measurement distance not defined
in Table A.2 to Table A.7, the measurement may be performed at that distance. In this case
the limit L 2 , corresponding to the selected measurement distance d 2 , shall be calculated by
applying the following formula:
L 2 = L 1 + 20 log(d 1 /d 2 )
Where L 1 is the specified limit in dBmV/m at the distance d 1 ; and, L 2 is the new limit for
distance d 2 . The distances d 1 and d 2 use the same unit, such as m.
In addition, when using this formula, the test report shall show the limit L 2 and the actual
measurement distance d 2 . To ensure consistency of calculation, wherever possible the limits
for the 10 m measurement distance (up to 1 GHz) and the 3 m measurement distance (above
1 GHz) shall be used as the basis for calculations of limits at other measurement distances.
The minimum measurement distance for radiated emission measurement for frequencies
below 1 GHz shall be 3 m and for frequencies above 1 GHz shall be 1 m.

When using a FAR and the position of the receiving antenna cannot be changed, then the
limits shall be adjusted based on the above defined formula.
C.2.3 EUT cycle time and measurement dwell time
The cycle time is the period for the EUT to complete one entire operation. A dwell time longer
than the cycle time shall normally be used during all formal measurements. The dwell time
may be limited to 15 s.
C.3 General measurement procedures
C.3.1 Overview
The radiated and conducted emissions shall be assessed against the relevant requirements in
Annex A, using the appropriate procedures defined in Table A.1 and Table A.8. The following
subclauses provide a general overview taking into account the test facilities where the
measurements are performed. Further information is also contained in C.4 and Annex G.

C.3.2 Prescan measurements
The purposes of a prescan measurement are to determine the frequencies at which the EUT
produces the highest level of emissions and to help select the configuration(s) to be used in
the formal measurements. For details on prescan measurements refer to Annex E.
C.3.3 Formal measurements
The configuration(s) found during the prescan measurement that produce(s) the highest
amplitude emission relative to the limit shall be used for the formal measurement. Where
prescan measurements have not been performed, the formal measurements shall be
performed using the configuration(s) that are expected to produce the highest amplitude
emissions relative to the limit; and, the reasons for the selection shall be given in the test
report.
The formal measurements shall be performed using a compliant measurement facility as

defined in Table A.1 and Table A.8. The measurements shall be performed in accordance with
the basic standards and the requirements of this document.
Where measurements are performed using a FAR, the antenna together with the cable may
be moved to achieve the specified measurement distance.
C.3.4 Specifics for radiated emission measurements
Formal emissions measurements shall determine the highest emission level at any frequency
at which a limit is set, considering the following:
• antenna polarization (horizontal and vertical);

• full rotation of the EUT, local AE and associated cabling (through 360 degrees);
• antenna height.
Where measurements are made using an OATS/SAC, the antenna height scan shall be
restricted to a range of 1 m to 4 m above the RGP.
Where measurements are made using a FSOATS, the antenna height scan shall encompass
those heights defined in Figure 14, Figure 15 and Table 2 of CISPR 16-2-3:2010/AMD1:2010.
If no prescan has been performed, then the formal measurements shall be carried out across
the entire frequency range.
C.3.5 Specifics for conducted emission measurements on the AC mains power ports
Testing shall include measurements on all live and neutral lines (or ports).
For guidance on elements of conducted measurements see 6.5.1 of CISPR 16-2-1:2008/ AMD
1:2010 /AMD2:2013.
C.3.6 Specifics for conducted emission measurements on analogue/digital data

ports
MME may have different types of analogue/digital data ports to which different requirements
apply as stated in Annex A. As a minimum, one port of each type shall be exercised and
assessed against the requirements. The measurement procedures shall be selected using the
information given in Table C.1 and elsewhere in this clause.
When an EUT has multiple analogue/digital data ports of the same type, at least one port of
each type shall be assessed. Where it has been shown by pre-scanning or some other
BS EN 55032:2015+A11:2020
– 44 – CISPR 32:2015  IEC 2015
technique that the ports are similar in their emission performance, only a single port need be
assessed.

Where used, an AAN shall satisfy all the requirements defined in C.4.1.2.
Where used, the current probe shall satisfy the requirements defined in C.4.1.4 and the CVP shall satisfy the requirements
defined in C.4.1.5.
The mains voltage shall be supplied to the EUT via the AMN used when measuring the mains terminal emission voltages
according to Table A.9 or Table A.10.
Where used the AAN shall be selected in accordance with C.4.1.3.
Care shall be taken when measuring common mode current with an AAN in the circuit to ensure that the measurement method
accurately measures both the launched and converted components of the common mode current.
The procedure defined in C.4.1.6.2 gives results with lower measurement uncertainty than the procedures in C.4.1.6.3 and
C.4.1.6.4
C.4.1.2 Characteristics of AAN
Measurement of common mode (asymmetric mode) current or voltage emissions at wired

network ports for attachment of unscreened balanced pairs shall be performed with the wired
network port connected by a cable to an AAN. The AAN shall define the common mode
termination impedance seen by the wired network port during the emission measurements.
The combination of the AAN and all appropriate adapters required to connect to the EUT and
AE shall have the following properties:
a) The common mode termination impedance of the EUT port, in the frequency range
0,15 MHz to 30 MHz, shall be 150 Ω ± 20 Ω, phase angle 0 ± 20°.
b) The AAN shall provide sufficient isolation against emissions from an AE or load connected
to the wired network port being assessed. The attenuation of the AAN, for common mode
emissions originating from the AE, shall be such that the measured level of these
BS EN 55032:2015+A11:2020
– 46 – CISPR 32:2015  IEC 2015
emissions at the measuring receiver input is at least 10 dB below the relevant emission
limit.
The preferred minimum isolation is:
• 35 dB to 55 dB, increasing linearly with the logarithm of the frequency across the
range 0,15 MHz to 1,5 MHz ;
• 55 dB across the range 1,5 MHz to 30 MHz
NOTE Isolation is the ratio of the common mode emission originating in an AE to that consequentially appearing
at the EUT port of the AAN.
c) The AAN shall meet the longitudinal conversion loss (LCL) requirements stated in
Table C.2 from 0,15 MHz to 30 MHz. Actual LCL values to simulate different cables are
defined in Table C.2.

copper access networks.
d) The insertion loss or other deterioration of the signal quality in the wanted signal
frequency band caused by the presence of the AAN shall not significantly affect the
normal operation of the EUT.
e) The AAN voltage division factor (V vdf ) shall be within ±1 dB of the nominal value across
the requency range 0,15 MHz to 30 MHz. The AAN voltage division factor is calculated as
follows:
V cm
V vdf = 20lg dB
V mp
where
V cm is the common mode voltage appearing across the common mode impedance
presented to the EUT by the AAN; and,
V mp is the resulting receiver voltage measured directly at the voltage measurement port
of the AAN.
The voltage division factor shall be added to the measured voltage measured by the receiver
directly at the voltage measurement port of the AAN and the result compared with the voltage
limits in Table A.11 or Table A.12 as applicable.

C.4.1.3 Selection of AAN for unscreened balanced multi-pair cables
The type of AAN is selected according to the number of pairs physically in the cable excluding
any pairs which do not have a galvanic connection to any part of the EUT, including ground.
The AAN described in Figure G.4 to Figure G.7 are only appropriate for use where there are
no unconnected pairs in the cable. The AANs shown in Figure G.1 to Figure G.3 are suited to
any situation, including those where the use of some of the pairs is unknown, or some pairs
are known to be unconnected.
C.4.1.4 Current probe characteristics
The current probe shall have a uniform frequency response without resonances within the
frequency range of interest. It shall be capable of operating without saturation effects caused
by the operating currents in the primary winding.
The insertion impedance of the current probe shall not exceed 1 Ω. See 5.1 of CISPR 16-1-
2:2003/ AMD 1:2004/ AMD 2:2006.

The CVP defined in 5.2.2 of CISPR 16-1-2:2003/ AMD 1:2004/ AMD 2:2006 shall be used.
C.4.1.6 Measurements at wired network ports, antenna ports and optical fibre cables
having metallic screens or strength members
C.4.1.6.1 Choice of measurement procedure
This clause describes the various measurement procedures that can be used to measure the
common mode conducted emission of analogue/digital data ports. Depending on the cable
type, different procedures may be used, each with its advantages and disadvantages. See
G.2 and Table G.1.
C.4.1.6.2 Measurement procedure using an AAN
Measurement is made at wired network ports using AANs with longitudinal conversion losses
as defined in Table C.2. The AAN for the cable category specified by the equipment
documentation provided to the user shall be used. The level of emissions from the EUT shall
not exceed the applicable limits of Annex A.
When emission voltage measurements are performed, the AAN shall provide a voltage
measurement port suitable for connection to a measuring receiver while simultaneously
satisfying the analogue/digital data port common mode termination impedance requirements.
For unscreened cables containing balanced pairs, an AAN conforming to C.4.1.2 shall be
used. The LCL values of the AAN shall be within the tolerance given in Table C.2 for an AAN
appropriate to the cable category connected to the EUT.
The procedure shall be as follows:
• arrange the EUT, local AE and associated cabling (examples are given Annex D);
• measure the voltage at the measurement port of the AAN;
• correct the measured voltage by adding the AAN voltage division factor (V vdf ) defined
in C.4.1.2 e);
• compare the corrected voltage with the limit.

– 48 – CISPR 32:2015  IEC 2015
C.4.1.6.3 Measurement procedure using a 150 Ω load connected to the outside

surface of the cable screen
This procedure can be used for all types of coaxial cables, screened multi-pair cables or
optical fibre cables having metallic screens or strength members.
The procedure shall be follows:
• Arrange the EUT, local AE and associated cabling, generally as shown in Figure D.4 or
Figure D.5, replacing the CVP in Figure D.4 by a 150 Ω adaptor. The current probe to
EUT horizontal distance may be increased to 0,8 m. Alternatively in Figure D.5, the
AAN shall be replaced by the 150 Ω adaptor/current probe combination.
• Break the external protective insulation (exposing the shield) and connect a 150 Ω
resistor with a physical connection between the cable screen and the RGP. The 150 Ω
resistor shall be ≤0,3 m from the outside surface of the screen to ground. For further
information refer to G.2.5.
• Insert a ferrite tube or clamp between the 150 Ω connection and the AE.
• Measure the current with a current probe and compare to the current limit. Use the
procedure given in C.4.1.7 to measure the asymmetric common mode impedance from
the 150 Ω resistor towards the AE, which should be much greater than 150 Ω so as not
to affect the measurement at frequencies emitted by the EUT.
• The separation distance between the AE and the ground plane is not critical if the
impedance of the ferrite is higher than that given in G.2.5. If this cannot be achieved,
then the AE shall be placed at 0,4 m from a vertical or horizontal RGP, as defined for
the EUT in Table D.2.
The voltage measurement may also be performed in parallel with the 150 Ω resistor with a
high impedance probe. Alternatively, the measurement may be performed using a "150 Ω to
50 Ω adaptor" described in IEC 61000-4-6:2008 as the 150 Ω load and applying the
appropriate correction factor (9,5 dB in case of the "150 Ω to 50 Ω adaptor").
C.4.1.6.4 Measurement procedure using a combination of current probe and CVP
As an AAN is not used in this procedure, the common mode impedance is not stabilized. The
emissions from the EUT shall be measured using both the voltage and current probes and the
measured levels compared with the voltage and the current limits respectively.
The procedure shall be as follows:
Arrange the EUT, local AE and associated cabling as defined in Annex D, either as shown in
Figure D.4 or as shown in Figure D.5, replacing the AAN with the current probe/CVP
combination.
A CMAD or similar device may be used between the AE and the current probe/CVP
combination.
The AE shall be placed 0,4 m from a vertical or horizontal RGP, as defined for the EUT in
Table D.2. Where appropriate, the EUT shall be powered using an AMN placed on the RGP.
The AMN shall be placed >0,10 m from the nearest edge of the RGP. The EUT power cord
shall be routed away from the cable used for the measurements to minimize coupling or
crosstalk effects.
The current shall be measured with the current probe and the results compared with the
current limits.
The voltage shall be measured with the CVP specified in C.4.1.5.

BS EN 55032:2015+A11:2020
CISPR 32:2015  IEC 2015 – 49 –
• The voltage measured shall be corrected at each frequency of interest as follows:

– if the current margin with respect to the current limit is ≤6 dB, the actual current
margin shall be subtracted from the measured voltage;
– if the current margin with respect to the current limit is >6 dB, 6 dB shall be
subtracted from the measured voltage.
• The adjusted voltage shall be compared with the applicable voltage limit.
Both the measured current and the corrected voltage shall be below the applicable current
and voltage limits at all frequencies for the EUT to be deemed compliant with this publication.
C.4.1.7 Measurement of cable, ferrite and AE common mode impedance
There are three possible procedures for the measurement of the CM impedance. The
conditions for using these procedures are as follows:
Procedure 1 may only be used if the length of both the calibration loop circumference (defined
in Figure C.6) and the AE loop circumference (defined in Figure C.7), is less than 1,25 m.
This condition is necessary to minimise loop resonance(s) that could affect the impedance
measurement and increase measurement uncertainty.
Procedure 2 or Procedure 3 shall be used if the length of either of the loops, defined in
Figure C.6 and Figure C.7, is at least 1,25 m.
Procedure 1:
• The drive probe 50 Ω system shall be calibrated. See Figure C.6.
• Drive voltage (V 1 ) shall be applied from a signal generator into the drive probe and the
resulting current (I 1 ) in the measurement probe shall be recorded.
• The cable used for the measurement from the EUT shall be disconnected and shall be
shorted to ground at the EUT end.
• The same drive voltage (V 1 ) shall be applied to the cable with the same drive probe.
• The current shall be measured with the same measurement probe, and the
asymmetrical common mode impedance of the cable, ferrite and AE combination shall
be calculated by comparing the current reading (I 2 ) measured by the current probe with
the previously measured current (I 1 ).
The common mode impedance is 50 × I 1 ÷ I 2 . For example, if I 2 is half I 1 , then the
common mode impedance is 100 Ω.
Procedure 2:
An impedance analyser shall be connected between the screen of the cable attached
to the EUT port being assessed and the RGP, at the position where the 150 Ω resistor
would be attached. The EUT shall not be powered during this measurement. The
arrangements defined in C.4.1.6.3 apply. The measurement set-up is similar to that
presented in Figure G.15.
Procedure 3:
Using a network analyser, a current probe and a CVP, the common mode voltage and
current shall be measured. The ratio of the voltage to the current on the cable attached
to the EUT port under test, as measured with the network analyser, defines the
common mode impedance. The measurement set-up is similar to that presented in
Figure G.15.

C.4.2 Measurement of emission voltages at a TV/FM broadcast receiver tuner ports

in the frequency range 30 MHz to 2,15 GHz
C.4.2.1 General
When measurements are performed at the TV/FM broadcast receiver tuner port of the EUT, a
signal generator generating an unmodulated carrier shall be used to feed the receiver input
with an RF signal at the tuned frequency of the EUT (see Annex B).
The output level of the signal generator shall be set to produce 60 dB(mV) for FM reception,
to 70 dB(mV) for analogue TV reception, and to the levels specified in Table B.4 for digital TV
reception. In each case the level specified is the voltage across the input impedance of the
receiver (typically 75 Ω).
BS EN 55032:2015+A11:2020
CISPR 32:2015  IEC 2015 – 51 –
In order to determine the channel(s) of each reception mode to be used during formal
measurement, an initial assessment using the scan mode of the broadcast receiver equipment
may be used. Formal measurements may then be made using the channels that produced the
highest emission for each reception mode (for example analog or digital).
C.4.2.2 Connection of AE (signal generator)
The TV/FM broadcast receiver tuner port of the EUT and the AE (signal generator) shall be
connected to the input of the measurement device by means of coaxial cables and a resistive
combining network (or another suitable device). The combining network or device used shall
have a minimum attenuation of 6 dB between the AE and the measurement device. See
Figure C.8.

Figure C.8 – Circuit arrangement for measurement of emission voltages

at TV/FM broadcast receiver tuner ports
The impedance as seen from the TV/FM broadcast receiver tuner port of the EUT shall be
equal to the nominal antenna input impedance for which the port has been designed. The EUT
shall be tuned to the wanted signal from the AE (signal generator). The emission level shall
be measured across the relevant frequency range taking into account the attenuation between
the EUT TV/FM broadcast receiver tuner port and the measurement device.
RF currents flowing from the chassis of the receiver to the outer surface of the screen of the
coaxial cables should be prevented from penetrating into the coaxial system and thus causing
erroneous measuring results, for example by means of ferrite tubes.
Attention should be given to possible overloading of the input stage of the measuring device
due to the output signal of the AE (signal generator).
C.4.2.3 Presentation of the results
The results shall be expressed in terms of the emission voltage in dB(mV). The specified input
impedance of the TV/FM broadcast receiver tuner port shall be stated with the results.
C.4.3 Measurement of the wanted signal and emission voltage at RF modulator

output ports, in the frequency range 30 MHz to 2,15 GHz
C.4.3.1 General
If an EUT has an RF modulator output port (for example video recorders, camcorders,
decoders) additional measurements of the wanted signal level and emission voltage at its RF
modulator output port shall be performed.
BS EN 55032:2015+A11:2020
– 52 – CISPR 32:2015  IEC 2015
C.4.3.2 Measurement procedure
The RF modulator output port of the EUT is connected to the input of the measuring device by
means of a coaxial cable and a matching network (if necessary) as shown in Figure C.9. The
characteristic impedance of the cable shall be equal to the nominal output impedance of the
EUT. The EUT shall produce an RF carrier modulated by a video signal defined in Annex B.
The RF output level shall be obtained by adding the insertion loss of the matching network to
the indication of the measuring device (tuned to the video carrier frequency and its
harmonics).
An initial assessment using the scan mode of the modulator may be used to determine the
channel at which the modulator produces the highest emission level. This channel shall be
used to perform the formal measurement.

Arrangement of EUT, local AE and associated cabling
D.1 Overview
D.1.1 General
The intention of this publication is to measure the emissions from the EUT in a manner that is
consistent with its typical arrangement and use. The measurement arrangement of the EUT,
local AE and associated cabling shall be representative of normal practice.
The EUT shall be arranged in accordance with the requirements of Table D.1
Table D.1 – Measurement arrangements of EUT
Intended operational Measurement Remarks

arrangement(s) of MME arrangement
Table-top only Table-top
Floor-standing only Floor-standing
Can be floor-standing or table- Table-top

Rack mounted In a rack or table-top
Other, for example wall Table-top With normal orientation
mounted, ceiling mounted,
handheld, body worn If the equipment is designed to be
mounted on a ceiling, the downward-
facing portion of the EUT may be oriented
facing upward.
If a physical hazard would be caused by testing the device on a table top, then it can be arranged as
floor standing and the test report shall document the decision and justification.
All cables that are considered part of the EUT shall be arranged as for normal use subject to
length restrictions given in Table D.2 and subject to the requirement to minimise the size of
the arrangement. For example, the keyboard and mouse of a personal computer set-up shall
be placed in front of the monitor.
The following arrangements may be used to limit the effects of adverse AE emissions or to
reduce measurement time, as long as the arrangement can be shown not to reduce the
emissions measured from the EUT:
• placing AE below the RGP;

• placing AE below the test volume of a FAR; or,
• placing AE outside the measurement area when it is normally located distant from the
EUT.
An EUT intended for rack mounting may be arranged in a rack or as table-top equipment. An
EUT that can be used in both floor standing and table-top configurations, or both floor
standing and wall mounted configurations, shall be assessed in a table-top arrangement.
However, if the usual installation is floor standing, then that arrangement shall be used.
The type and construction of cables used in the measurement set-up shall be consistent with
normal or typical use. Cables with mitigation features (for example, screening, tighter/more
twists per length, ferrite beads) shall only be used if it is the intention that all deployments will
use these features. If the cable(s) have mitigation features, this detail shall be specified in the
BS EN 55032:2015+A11:2020
CISPR 32:2015  IEC 2015 – 55 –
test report. Manufacturer-supplied or commercially available cabling shall be used, as

specified in the installation manual or user manual.
Cables connecting to AE located outside the measurement area shall drop directly to, but be
insulated from, the RGP (or turntable where applicable), and then be routed directly to the
place where they leave the test site. The thickness of the insulation shall not be more than
150 mm. However, cables which would normally be bonded to ground should be bonded to
the RGP in accordance with normal practice or the manufacturer’s recommendation.
During conducted emission measurements on analogue/digital data ports, the cable between
the EUT and the measurement device or probe shall be as short as possible and satisfy the
requirements given in Table D.2.
Where practical, any excessive length in cables shall be bundled non-inductively, at the mid
point between the EUT and the AMN or AAN, for the conducted emission measurement. The
bundle length shall be less than 0,4 m to satisfy the distances given in Table D.2.
Non-inductive bundling means that the cable is shortened by overlapping loops arranged with
alternate end loops wound in opposite directions using the minimum practicable bend radius.
Where bundling cannot be achieved, coiling of the cables shall be avoided.
The effective length of all loop-back cables not routed overhead shall be longer than 2 m.
Where possible, loop-back cables shall be arranged so that outgoing line is not closely
coupled to the return.
Where possible, the effective length of mains cables shall be 1 m ± 0,1 m.
Cable length is the distance between cable connector ends, excluding any protruding pins,
when the cable is laid straight. The effective cable length, is the distance between cable
connector ends, excluding any protruding pins, when the cable includes one or more bundles.
The effective cable length will be shorter than the actual length if the cable has been bundled.
Loads and/or devices simulating typical operating conditions shall be connected to at least
one of each type of interface port of the EUT. If loading (or terminating) with a device of
actual usage is not feasible, the port should preferably be loaded with a simulator. Where
these options are not practical the port shall be loaded by the application of a typical
impedance considering both the common and differential modes. These loads and/or devices
shall be connected via a cable if this represents normal usage.
Where there are multiple ports of the same type the manufacturer shall determine whether to
load these additional ports, considering:
• maximisation of the emission levels, for example, when adding additional cables does
not significantly affect the emission level (for example varies less than 2 dB), it can be
assumed a maximum has occurred;
• reproducibility;
• achievement of a representative configuration having regard to other requirements in
this clause.
For example, additional cables with or without terminations may be connected to the EUT
ports. This process may also be applied to establishing the number of similar elements (plug-
in modules, internal memory, and so forth) within the EUT.
Where the EUT has more than one analogue/digital data port, ports shall be included in the
measurement arrangement as follows:
• if there are multiple similar ports on the same card or module type, then it is
acceptable to assess one typical port,
BS EN 55032:2015+A11:2020
– 56 – CISPR 32:2015  IEC 2015
• where there are ports of the same type on different card or module types, then it is
acceptable to assess one typical port on each card or module types.
The test report shall identify the ports assessed.
An EUT which requires a dedicated ground connection shall be bonded to the RGP or to the
chamber wall or chamber floor in case of a FAR, with a grounding connection that is similar to
that used in practice.
When making measurements in a FAR, any measurements of height are referenced to the
bottom of the test volume.
NOTE When testing in a FAR, measurements of height are made to the top surface of the turntable or the top of
the floor absorber when the floor absorber extends above the turntable.
Any antenna masts and supporting floors shall be in place during site validation. All other
relevant conditions of Table D.1 and Table D.2 apply. For example, unpainted expanded
polystyrene may be used as a supporting platform above the turntable.
See Figure D.1 through Figure D.10 for examples of arrangements.

Where manufacturer-provided cables have to be used and are too short to meet the requirements of this table, the equipment shall

spacing and the requirements of this table.

host.
Where the EUT is rack mounted, the distances specified relative to the EUT are measured to the surface of the rack.
Tolerance value aligned with the CISPR 16 series.
D.1.2 Table-top arrangement
The following specific arrangements apply.
Equipment, including the power supply, intended for table-top use shall be placed on a non-
conductive table of sufficient size to hold the EUT, local AE and associated cabling. Where
practical, the rear of the EUT should be flush with the rear of the table.
For radiated measurements the table shall be made of a material with a dielectric constant
which minimises the impact on the results, for example, by the use of unpainted expanded
polystyrene. Subclause 5.5.2 of CISPR 16-1-4:2010/AMD1:2012 describes a measurement to
help ensure that the dielectric qualities of the material used for construction of the table are
appropriate.
The arrangement of external power supply units (including AC/DC power converters) shall
meet the requirements of Table D.2. Where possible, cables that connect between modules or
units shall hang over the back of the table. If a cable hangs closer than 0,4 m from the
horizontal RGP (or floor), the excess shall be folded at the cable centre into a bundle no
longer than 0,4 m, such that the bundle is 0,4 m above the horizontal RGP.
If the mains port input cable is less than 0,8 m long, (including power supplies integrated in
the mains plug) an extension cable shall be used such that the external power supply unit is
placed on the measurement table. The extension cable shall have similar characteristics to
the mains cable (including the number of conductors and the presence of ground connection).
The extension cable shall be treated as part of the mains cable.
Power supply output cables shall be treated as inter-unit cables.
Equipment may be stacked if this is a normal arrangement for this equipment.
Example measurement arrangements are given in Figure D.1 to Figure D.5 and Figure D.8.
D.1.3 Floor standing arrangement
Where cable routing is specified by the manufacturer, this routing shall be used.
Where the inter-unit cabling is typically routed overhead, it shall be routed vertically to an
overhead support. Overhead inter-unit cables shall rise from the first unit up to the support,
run along the support, and drop down into the other unit. Overhead exit cables shall rise from
the first unit up to the support, run along the support to a specified distance, drape down to
the RGP, and route out of the facility to remote AE. Excess cable shall be bundled non-
inductively on, but separated from, the RGP (respecting separation distances as defined in
Table D.2).
Mains cabling shall drape vertically to (but be insulated from) the horizontal RGP.
The EUT shall be insulated (by insulation of maximum thickness of 150 mm) from the
horizontal reference ground plane. If the equipment requires a dedicated ground connection,

D.1.4 Combinations of table-top and floor standing EUT arrangement
The following specific arrangements apply.
For the assessment of a combination of table-top and floor standing EUT, two RGPs may be
required. The horizontal plane is always the RGP for the floor standing equipment while the
RGP for the table-top equipment during conducted emission measurements may be either
horizontal or vertical. The inter-unit cables between a table-top unit and a floor standing unit
which are long enough to drape on the horizontal RGP shall be non-inductively bundled (or if
too short or stiff for bundling, arranged but not-coiled) and placed on the table or supported at
0,4 m or at the height of the lowest cable entry point if this is below 0,4 m.
Examples of general arrangements are given in Figure D.7 and Figure D.10.
D.1.5 Arrangements for radiated measurement in a FAR
Where necessary, an access hole should be provided in the centre of the turntable to facilitate
routing of cables.
Mains power outlets may be placed on the surface of the turntable (or supporting element), if
the site validation requirements for the chamber can be met in this configuration.
The arrangement of the EUT and local AE shall be identical to those used for measurements
using a OATS/SAC/FSOATS except for cables that leave the test area. These cables shall be
routed horizontally with a minimum exposed length of 0,8 m, before being routed vertically
with a minimum of exposed length of 0,8 m, to the bottom of the test volume (See
Figure D.12). They shall then be routed to the centre of the turntable where, if possible the
cables shall drape vertically downward. The cables shall then leave the chamber by the
shortest possible route to minimise any impact. Where the cables are shorter than 1,6 m, as
defined by the manufacturer, then the horizontal component shall be as close to 0,8 m as
possible.
Example measurement arrangements are given in Figure D.11 and Figure D.12.
D.2 MME-related conditions for conducted emission measurement
D.2.1 General
During measurements of conducted emissions, any required dedicated ground connection of

the EUT shall be made to the reference point of the AMN. Where not otherwise provided or
specified by the manufacturer, this ground connection shall be of the same length as the
mains port cable and run parallel to the mains port cable at a separation distance of not more
than 0,1 m.
“Coaxial” broadcast receiver tuner ports shall be connected to an AAN (or a CDN as defined
in IEC 61000-4-6) that provides a 150 Ω common mode termination to ground and is bonded
to the RGP.
In addition to the general principles given above the following requirements apply.
The mains cable of the unit being assessed shall be connected to one AMN. All other units of
the EUT and AE shall be connected to a second (or multiple) AMN(s). It is acceptable to
connect these other equipments to an AMN via extension cables that include one or multiple
socket outlets. Where additional socket outlets are needed, the extension shall be as short as
practical. All AMNs shall be bonded to a RGP.
BS EN 55032:2015+A11:2020
– 60 – CISPR 32:2015  IEC 2015
For AMNs mounted below the RGP an extension cable may be used. The AMN specification
shall be met at the connection point for the EUT (the end of the extension cable or power strip)
with at least 0,8 m spacing between the EUT and the connection point on the extension cable.
Where the EUT is a collection of equipment with multiple units, each having its own power
cable, the point of connection for the AMN is determined by the following rules:
• for an EUT that has several modules, each with its own power cable (however
terminated) and for which the manufacturer provides a power strip (multi-socket mains
splitter) with a single power cable for connection to the external power source, a single
measurement shall be performed at the mains input to that power cable;
• power cables or terminals which are not specified by the manufacturer to be connected
via a host unit shall be measured separately;
• power cables or field wiring terminals (mains input terminals) which are specified by
the manufacturer to be connected via a host unit or other power-supplying equipment
shall be connected as described by the manufacturer;
• where a special connection is specified, the necessary hardware to effect the
connection shall be supplied by the manufacturer for the purpose of this measurement.
In all other cases the conducted emissions on each individual EUT with its own power cable
that is terminated in a power supply plug of a standard design (IEC TR 60083 for example)
shall be measured separately.
Any AAN used during conducted emission measurements shall be selected and configured to
be representative of the network in which the EUT is intended to operate. All ports of the AAN
shall be correctly terminated in accordance with D.1. Where the 1 m requirement cannot be
achieved, because of the position of the power input port/wired network port, then the
effective length shall be as short as possible. In the case of EUTs including floor standing
equipment the cable connecting the analogue/digital data port to the AAN may be positioned
perpendicular to the EUT for a distance between of 0,3 m and 0,8 m then drop vertically to
(but be insulated from) the horizontal RGP before being extended to the AAN. In these cases
any bundling may be located on (but be insulated from) the ground plane
D.2.2 Specific conditions for table-top equipment
The RGP shall have a minimum size of 2 m by 2 m and shall extend a minimum of 0,5 m
beyond the EUT, local AE and associated cabling in all directions.
Alternative 1: The measurement shall be performed using a vertical RGP. The rear of the
EUT, local AE and associated cabling shall be 0,4 m from the vertical RGP. All ground planes
in use shall be bonded together. AMN(s) and AAN(s) in use shall be bonded to either the
vertical RGP or other metal planes bonded to it.
The portions of signal cables that hang over the rear of the table shall be positioned at a
distance of 0,4 m from the vertical RGP and no less than 0,4 m from any horizontal RGP
bonded to the vertical RGP. If necessary, maintain the separations using a fixture made of
non-conductive material with an appropriate dielectric constant.
An example of the measurement arrangement is given in Figure D.2.
Alternative 2: The measurement shall be performed with a horizontal RGP. The EUT, local
AE and associated cabling shall nominally be spaced 0,4 m above the horizontal RGP.
Example measurement arrangements are given in Figure D.3 and Figure D.5.

CISPR 32:2015  IEC 2015 – 61 –
D.2.3 Specific requirements for floor standing equipment
If conducted emission measurements are undertaken within a SAC, the EUT, local AE and
associated cabling shall be configured as defined in D.2.1. whilst meeting the general
principles given in D.1.1. The AE cable routing shall be overhead if the EUT is designed for
this configuration. Example measurement arrangements are given in Figure D.6.
D.2.4 Specific requirements for combined table-top and floor standing equipment
The configuration for conducted emission measurements shall be as defined in D.2.1 whilst
meeting the general principles given in D.1.1.
The table-top equipment shall be assessed using alternative 1 or alternative 2 in D.2.2. The
floor standing equipment shall be assessed on a horizontal RGP. If a vertical RGP is used for
the table-top equipment, care shall be taken that the floor standing equipment is at least
0,8 m from the vertical RGP. This may require that the spacing between the table-top
equipment and floor standing equipment be set at a small and convenient distance.
Example measurement arrangements are given in Figure D.7.
D.3 MME-related requirements for radiated measurement
D.3.1 General
Unless some other configuration is typical of normal use, or specified by the manufacturer,
mains cables shall drop directly to the RGP before being routed to the mains power outlet.
This outlet should not protrude above the RGP. If the outlet has a metal case, it shall be
bonded to the RGP. If the mains outlet has a protective earth, it shall be bonded to the RGP.
If used, the AMN shall be installed under the RGP.
D.3.2 Requirements for table-top equipment
Excess length of cables shall only be included in the arrangement to represent normal
installation and shall be bundled in line with D.1.1. An example measurement arrangement is
given in Figure D.8.

Annex E
(informative)
Prescan measurements
The purposes of a prescan measurement are to determine the frequencies at which an EUT
produces the highest level of emissions and to help select the configuration(s) to be used in
the formal measurements.
Prescanning should be performed on various EUT configurations to find the configuration(s)

that produce(s) the highest amplitudes with respect to the limit. This configuration should then
be used during formal measurements.
The number of configurations to be considered is dependent upon the complexity of the EUT.
Therefore, a quick and simple procedure should be established for comparative purposes so
that the impact of varying the configuration can be found. Changes in configurations which
may be considered include:
• mode of operation, as defined in 3.1.23;

• supply voltage discussed in A.1;
• arrangement discussed in Annex D;
• number and arrangement of modules within a system. See Figure 2;
• number of cables attached applying the criteria in D.1.1;
• position of cables, local AE and HID as required in Annex D.
The prescan method attempts to closely emulate the formal procedure so that effective
comparisons can be achieved. For example, a limited height SAC would be an appropriate
prescan facility followed by an OATS/SAC for formal measurements. An effective prescan will
give confidence that the configuration which produces the highest amplitude emission with
respect to the limit has been found.
Prescan measurements may be performed with spectrum analysers without pre-selection

provided that precautions are used to ensure that the instrument is not overloaded.
A simple procedure to check for overload is to repeat a measurement with an attenuator (for
example, 6 dB) added at a convenient point in the measurement path so that the signal
present at any active or nonlinear stage of the measurement path (amplifiers, limiters,
receivers, and so forth) is reduced by a known amount. If the measured signal level does not
decrease by approximately the value of the attenuator used (within 0,5 dB), then the
measurement system may be overloaded and steps should be taken to correct the problem.
Further details are given in Annex B of CISPR 16-2-1:2008/ AMD 1:2010 /AMD2:2013.

G.2 Rationale for emission measurements and procedures for wired network
ports
G.2.1 Limits
The emission voltage (or current) limit is defined for an asymmetric common mode load
impedance of 150 Ω (as seen by the EUT at the AE port during the measurement). This
standardisation is necessary in order to obtain reproducible measurement results,
independent of the undefined asymmetric common mode impedance at the AE and the EUT.
In general, the asymmetric common mode impedance seen by the EUT at the AE port is not
defined unless an AAN is used. If the AE is located outside the shielded room, the asymmetric
common mode impedance seen by the EUT at the AE port can be determined by the
asymmetric common mode impedance of the feed through-filter between the measurement
set-up and the outside world. A π-type filter has a low common mode impedance whilst a T-
type filter has a high asymmetric common mode impedance.
AANs do not exist for all types of cables used by MME. It is therefore also necessary to define
other (non-invasive) measurement procedures that do not use AANs.
Normally, there are several other cables (or ports) present at the EUT. At least the connection
to the mains port is present in most cases. The asymmetric common mode impedance of
these other connections (including a possible ground connection) and the presence or
absence of these connections during the measurement can influence the measurement result
significantly, particularly for small EUTs. Therefore the asymmetric common mode impedance
of the non-measured connections has to be defined during the assessment of small EUTs. It
is sufficient to have, in addition to the port being assessed, at least two additional ports
connected to a 150 Ω common mode impedance (normally by using an AAN with the RF
BS EN 55032:2015+A11:2020
– 84 – CISPR 32:2015  IEC 2015
measurement port terminated with 50 Ω) in order to reduce this influence to a negligible

amount.
Coupling devices for non-shielded balanced pairs should also simulate the typical LCL value
of the lowest cabling category (worst LCL) specified for the wired network port being
measured. The idea of this requirement is to take into account the transformation of the
symmetrical signal into a asymmetric common mode signal, which might contribute to possible
radiated disturbance when the EUT is used in the real application. Asymmetry in the AAN is
deliberately introduced to yield the specified LCL value. This asymmetry may enhance or
cancel the asymmetry of the EUT. In the interest of determining the worst case emissions and
optimization of measurement repeatability, consideration should therefore be given to
repeating the measurement with the LCL imbalance on each wire of a balanced pair when
using the appropriate AAN as defined in C.4.1.2.
Since imbalance on each balanced pair will contribute to the total conducted common mode
emission, all combinations of imbalance on all balanced pairs should be considered. For a
single balanced pair, this has a relatively minor measurement impact – the two wires are
reversed. However, for two balanced pairs, the number of LCL loading combinations (and
therefore measurement configurations) is four. For four balanced pairs, the number of loading
combinations grows to sixteen. Such numbers have a significant impact on measurement time
and measurement documentation. Such measurements are not usually implemented, but if
carried out the connection to AAN should be carefully documented.
The RF measurement port of an AAN not connected to the measuring receiver should be
terminated with 50 Ω.

G.2.2 Combination of current probe and CVP
The procedure described in C.4.1.6.4 has the advantage of being applicable in a non-invasive
way to all types of cables. However, unless the asymmetric common mode impedance seen
BS EN 55032:2015+A11:2020
CISPR 32:2015  IEC 2015 – 85 –
by the EUT at the AE connection is 150 Ω, the procedure in C.4.1.6.4 will show a result which
is in general too high, but never too low (worst case estimation of the emission).
G.2.3 Basic ideas of the CVP
The method described in C.4.1.6.4 uses a CVP to measure the asymmetric common mode
voltage. There are two approaches to the construction of a CVP. For either approach, if a
150 Ω common mode impedance is present, the capacitance of the CVP to the cable attached
to the EUT port being assessed will appear as a load in parallel with the 150 Ω common mode
impedance.
The common mode impedance tolerance is ± 20 Ω over the frequency range of 0,15 MHz to
30 MHz. If the CVP loading is to reduce the 150 Ω common mode impedance down to no less
than 130 Ω, the capacitive loading of the CVP to the cable attached to the EUT port being
assessed should be ≤5 pF at 30 MHz (the worst case frequency). At 30 MHz, the impedance
of 5 pF is approximately 1 061 Ω, which, in parallel with 150 Ω results in a combined common
mode impedance of approximately 131,4 Ω.
A first possible CVP construction approach is for the probe to be a single capacitor that relies
on physical distance from the cable attached to the EUT port being measured to achieve
the <5 pF loading. This style of CVP is described in 5.2.2 of CISPR 16-1-2:2003/ AMD
1:2004/ AMD 2:2006.
A second possible construction uses two coupling devices in series. A first capacitive coupling
device in close proximity to the cable attached to the EUT port being assessed (the device is
actually in physical contact with the insulation of the cable attached to the EUT port being
assessed). The second device is a standard oscilloscope-type voltage probe having an
impedance >10 MΩ with a probe capacitance <5 pF. The theory is that the probe capacitance
in series with the capacitance of the capacitive coupling device presents only the probe
capacitance to the cable attached to the EUT port being assessed. In practice, it is possible,
given the physical size of the capacitive coupling device, to have a large stray capacitance in
parallel with the probe capacitance. If this occurs, the total capacitive loading will be greater
than that of the probe itself, and the requirement to have <5 pF loading may be violated. If this
technique is employed, the capacitive loading should be verified by measurement and not rely
on theory. This capacitance measurement can be made with any capacitance meter that can
operate over the 0,15 MHz to 30 MHz frequency range. The capacitance is measured
between the cable attached to the EUT port being assessed (all wires in the cable are
connected together at the connection point to the meter) and the RGP. The same type of
cable used in the conducted emissions measurement should be used for this capacitance
measurement.
NOTE This procedure has the lowest uncertainty if the length of cable between the EUT and AE is less than
1,25 m. Significantly longer cables are subject to standing waves that can adversely affect voltage and current
measurements. For long cables where both the voltage and current limits cannot be met, changes to the
measurement configuration can be implemented.
G.2.4 Combination of current and voltage limit
If the common mode impedance is not 150 Ω, the measurement of the voltage or the current
alone is not acceptable because of a very high measurement uncertainty due to the undefined
and unknown common mode impedances. If however both voltage and current are measured
with current and voltage limits applied simultaneously, the result is a worst case estimation of
the emission as explained below. The basic circuit for which the limit is defined is shown in
Figure G.12.
This circuit is the reference for which current and voltage limits are derived. Any other
measurement has to be compared to this basic circuit. Z 1 is an unknown parameter of the
EUT. Z 2 is 150 Ω in the reference measurement.

If the measurement is performed without defining the common mode impedance seen by the
EUT, the simplified circuit is as shown in Figure G.12, where the common mode impedance Z 2
seen by the EUT is defined by the AE and can have any value. Therefore Z 1 as well as Z 2 are
unknown parameters of the measurement.

Figure G.13 – Basic circuit for the measurement with unknown

common mode impedance
If the measurement is performed according to the circuit of Figure G.12 the limit of current
and the limit of voltage are equivalent. The relation between current and voltage are always
150 Ω and either of the two can be used to determine the compliance with the limit. This is not
the case if Z 2 is not 150 Ω. See Figure G.13.
It is important to be aware that the source voltage U 0 is not the only quantity determining the
compliance with the limit. The disturbance voltage has to be measured at a standardized Z 2 of
150 Ω, while U in Figure G.13 depends on Z 1, Z 2, and U 0 together. The limit value can be
reached with an EUT containing a high impedance Z 1 and a high source voltage U 0 , or with a
lower U 0 combined with a lower impedance Z 1 .
In the more general case of Figure G.13 where Z 2 is not defined, it is not possible to measure
the exact value of the interference voltage. Since Z 1 and U 0 are not known, it is not possible
to derive the interference voltage, even if the value of Z 2 is known (or is measured or
calculated from I and U). If for example an EUT, having excessive emissions, is measured
only by determining the voltage in an arrangement with low Z 2 (Z 2 <150 Ω) at the AE side,
then the EUT might seem to comply with the limits. By contrast, if the same EUT is measured
only by measuring the current in a measurement set-up with high Z 2 , (for example by adding
ferrites) the EUT might again seem to comply with the limits.
BS EN 55032:2015+A11:2020
CISPR 32:2015  IEC 2015 – 87 –
However, it can be shown that, if the current limit and the voltage limit are applied
simultaneously, an EUT with emissions exceeding the limits is always discovered by
exceeding either the current limit (if Z 2 is <150 Ω) or the voltage limit (if Z 2 is >150 Ω).
If the common mode impedance of the AE (Z 2 ) is far from 150 Ω, it is possible that an EUT,
which would comply with the limits if measured with Z 2 = 150 Ω, may be rejected. However an
EUT not complying with the limits will never be accepted. The measurement according to
C.4.1.6.4 is therefore a worst case estimation of the emission. If an EUT exceeds the limit
with this procedure, it is possible the EUT would comply with the limits if it could be measured
with Z 2 = 150 Ω. If emission measurements of the EUT by this procedure were compared to a
power limit derived from the voltage and current limits, a more accurate measure of the
interference potential into 150 Ω is possible.
G.2.5 Ferrite requirements for use in C.4.1.1
Subclause C.4.1.6.3 defines a measurement set-up for measuring the common mode
conducted emissions on the shield of a shielded cable. A 150 Ω load is specified to be
connected between the cable shield and the RGP as described in C.4.1.6.3. Ferrites are
shown placed over the cable shield between the 150 Ω load and the AE. The characteristics
of the ferrites necessary to satisfy the requirements of C.4.1.6.3 are given below.

NOTE The combined impedance (Z) is 150 Ω, in parallel with the series combination of Z ferrite and Z aecm .
Figure G.14 – Impedance layout of the components

in the method described in C.4.1.6.3
Figure G.14 shows all of the basic impedances involved in the method described in C.4.1.6.3.
The ferrites are specified in C.4.1.6.3 to provide a high impedance such that “…the common
mode impedance towards the right of the 150 Ω resistor shall be sufficiently large as to not
affect the measurement.” This impedance is shown in Figure G.14 as Z ferrite in series with
Z aecm .
The above quotation from C.4.1.6.3 infers that the combined series impedance of Z ferrite and
Z aecm should not load down the 150 Ω resistor. The general approach in this standard for
BS EN 55032:2015+A11:2020
– 88 – CISPR 32:2015  IEC 2015
tolerance on 150 Ω common mode loads is ± 20 Ω over the frequency range of 0,15 MHz to
30 MHz. Combining these two concepts, the combined series impedance of Z ferrite and Z aecm
in parallel with the 150 Ω resistor (Z in Figure G.14) should be no lower than 130 Ω. This in
turn implies that this relationship should hold regardless of the value of Z aecm .
This clause provides guidance on the use of ferrites in cause C.4.1.1.
To establish the impedance characteristics of the ferrites, only two cases need to be
considered: Z aecm = open circuit and Z aecm = short circuit. If the ferrites can be selected to
satisfy these requirements, any value of Z aecm will be acceptable.
• Case 1: Z aecm = open circuit
The combined series impedance of Z ferrite and Z aecm is also an open circuit. An open circuit in
parallel with the 150 Ω load is 150 Ω. Z ferrite can be of any value.
• Case 2: Z aecm = short circuit
The combined series impedance of Z ferrite and Z aecm is equal to Z ferrite . The value of Z ferrite in
parallel with the 150 Ω resistor will then need to be no lower than 130 Ω. In equation form:
[(150)( Z ferrite )]/(150 + Z ferrite ) ≥ 130 Ω
Solving for Z ferrite yields a value of 975 Ω. This implies that the ferrites selected for this
application should have a minimum impedance of 975 Ω over the frequency range of
0,15 MHz to 30 MHz. For a given set of ferrites, the minimum impedance (jωL) will occur at
the minimum frequency of 0,15 MHz.
Combining the two cases cited above, it is seen that Case 2 at 0,15 MHz sets the minimum
requirements for the impedance of ferrites so this value (or greater) would be acceptable.
To determine whether the selected ferrites will accomplish the intended function, the
measurement set-up shown in Figure G.15 is suggested. A traditional impedance meter or
analyser can be used to measure the impedance between point Z and the reference ground.
Another approach is to measure the individual voltage and current at point Z (I and V in
Figure G.15) and calculate the impedance. As a minimum, the impedance measurement
should be made at 0,15 MHz. It would be advisable, however, to measure the impedance
across the entire 0,15 MHz to 30 MHz range to ensure that no stray capacitance associated
with the ferrites and the shielded cable degrades the ferrite impedance. This is of concern
since laboratory data have shown that it is unlikely that desired impedance can be achieved
with a single pass of the shielded cable through the ferrites. Multiple passes through the
ferrites are necessary. This increases chances of stray capacitance adversely affecting the
impedance of the ferrites. The capability to achieve the desired impedance versus frequency
has been demonstrated in the laboratory.

(normative)
Supporting information for the measurement of

outdoor unit of home satellite receiving systems
H.1 Rationale
The emission limits given in Table A.7 are related to two possible interference cases.
• The limits given in table clauses A7.1 and A7.2 protect radio services from emissions in
the frequency range from 30 MHz to 18 GHz due to outdoor units of home satellite
receiving systems. These limits have the same purpose as the emission limits for other
MME given in Annex A.
• The limits given in table clause A7.3 or A7.4 prevent interference to the uplink channel of
a satellite transponder due to the totality of the LO frequencies emissions from the many
outdoor units directed towards that satellite.
The LO emissions are amplified by the gain of the outdoor parabolic antenna. Therefore, in
the direction of the satellite (to which the parabolic antenna is aligned), a relatively low
emission limit of 37 dB(mV/m) is specified for the LNB (see Table H.1).
The emission power limit in table clause A7.4 is calculated for an outdoor unit without a feed
horn. Hence, if the feed horn cannot be separated from the outdoor unit, this measurement
result shall be compensated by subtracting the value of the gain of the feed horn.

CISPR 32:2015  IEC 2015 – 91 –
Where possible, the outdoor unit (LNB) shall be measured without the parabolic reflector. The
feed horn shall be attached to the LNB, except in the case of direct power measurement of
the LO. In the majority of cases the LNB and feed horn cannot be separated. If the EUT is
provided without a feed horn, then a typical feed horn shall be used for the measurement.
The limit for the measurement within ±7° of the main beam axis is for the LO terminal power.
The limit shall be relaxed by the gain of the feed horn. The gain is specified at the centre
frequency of the receiver band. If the gain of the feed horn is not specified, a standard value
of 10 dBi shall be applied.
In the rare case of a non-detachable parabolic reflector, the reflector’s gain shall be also
added to the limit (or subtracted from the measurement result) for the measurement of the LO
emission within ±7° of the main beam axis (limit in table clause A7.3).
H.3 Operation conditions
For the measurement of the LO leakage, the EUT shall be connected to the power supply (via
a suitable bias tee) and control signals for switching the LO frequencies, if applicable.
For the measurement of spurious radiated emissions, the EUT needs an input signal which
can be an un-modulated carrier. Therefore a suitable small transmit antenna shall be placed
within the main beam axis of the EUT. The influence of the transmit antenna on the
measurement result shall be reduced to a minimum. An example arrangement of the transmit
antenna is shown in Figure H.2.
The input signal shall be adjusted to get the maximum rated output level from the EUT. For
the measurement in the frequency range from 30 MHz to 1 GHz the input signal shall be
adjusted so that the output frequency is within this frequency range. For the measurement in
the frequency range above 1 GHz, the frequency of the input signal shall be adjusted in such
a way that the EUT is measured, as a minimum, at the lowest, middle and highest rated
output frequency within the measured frequency range. A typical scenario is as follows:
For an LNB with the following characteristics:
– maximum output level: –10 dBm,

– LO frequencies: 9,75 GHz and 10,6 GHz,
– output frequency ranges
950 MHz to 1 950 MHz (for 9,75 GHz LO)
1 100 MHz to 2 150 MHz (for 10,6 GHz LO)
the following output frequencies shall be measured with the EUT set to output level of –
10 dBm.
– LO frequency 9,75 GHz: 950 MHz, 1 450 MHz and 1 950 MHz
– LO frequency 10,6 GHz: 1 100 MHz, 1 625 MHz and 2 150 MHz
H.4 Specific requirements for LO measurement
In the case of a detachable feed horn, the radiated emission of the LO leakage within ±7° of
the main beam axis can be measured directly by a power measurement at the feed horn
interface. If a suitable interface (typically types R120, C120) is available, a power meter or
spectrum analyzer can be connected to the LNB via a suitable adapter. Due allowance shall
be made for the feed losses between the available interface and the antenna flange.

H.5 EUT arrangements
For the arrangement of the EUT the requirements of Annex D shall be satisfied. The EUT
shall be measured as table-top equipment. AE such as the DC source, generator for control
signals and measurement device for the output signal shall be placed outside of the
measurement area. The power supply shall be connected via a suitable bias tee.

The following test methods and associated limits are provided for information purposes.
Meeting these limits using the alternative test methods does not constitute compliance with
this publication. The alternative test methods and limits are described in Table I.1 to Table I.7.
NOTE Limits for reverberation chambers are still under evaluation and therefore the proposed limits can be

Throughout this informative annex,
• where the amplitude of a limit varies over a given frequency range, it changes linearly with
respect to the logarithm of the frequency;
• where there is a step in the relevant limit, the lower value should be applied at the
transition frequency;
• if more than one detector is specified, the EUT should be assessed using all relevant
detectors against the appropriate limit: this procedure can be optimised by use of the
decision trees defined in Figure C.3 to Figure C.5.

• For RVC measurements, it will be necessary to convert the total radiated power to
equivalent free space electric field values. This should be done using the method specified
in IEC 61000-4-21:2011, Annex E [I6.7] 6 . The equivalent measurement distance to the
EUT, R, is set to 3 m. The directivity, D, is set to 1,7 as recommended for dipole radiation.
The radiated power is to be found using the maximum received power method in
IEC 61000-4-21:2011, Equation (E.2). Using logarithmic units, in IEC 61000-4-21:2011,
Equation (E.6) with the parameters above simplifies to:
E rad =P rad +97,53 dB
E rad is the free-space electric field expected at a 3 m distance, in units of dB(mV/m). P rad
is the radiated power in dBm units.
• The limits presented for the GTEM are based on the 10 m measurement distance on an
OATS and 3 m on a FSOATS. Details for correlating OATS and GTEM-limits are given in

I.3 Additional measurement procedure information
I.3.1 General
The following subclauses provide additional information over and above that given in 6.3.
Prescan measurements are performed to identify the one configuration to be measured during
formal measurements, this configuration is then used to measure the maximum emission level.
I.3.2 Specific considerations for radiated emission measurements using a GTEM
The general considerations for measurements in a GTEM are contained in IEC 61000-4-20
[I6.5]. In a GTEM, the EUT should be rotated about three orthogonal axes.
Figure I.1 through Figure I.3 illustrate the EUT and the measurement setup in a GTEM.
I.3.3 Specific considerations for radiated emission measurements using an RVC
The general considerations for measurements in a reverberation chamber are contained in

IEC 61000-4-21 [I6.7]. When testing in a reverberation chamber, the stirrers/tuners should be
set to at least the minimum number of positions required under IEC 61000-4-21. In addition,
alternative variations may include varying the speed of the stirrer.

CISPR 32:2015  IEC 2015 – 97 –
I.4 Use of a GTEM for radiated emission measurements
I.4.1 General
The radiated emissions from an EUT can be measured using a TEM cell. A GTEM cell offers a
much wider bandwidth than a conventional TEM cell, typically from nearly DC to several GHz.
The theory and application of the GTEM cell for emission measurements is given in Annex A
of IEC 61000-4-20:2010 [I6.5].
The purpose of this clause is to illustrate the construction of the GTEM with its component
parts and how an EUT may be mounted to provide a frequency scan of the EUT’s emission
spectrum when mounted in 3 orthogonal positions.
I.4.2 EUT layout
Details on the measurement setup are given in A.5 of IEC 61000-4-20:2010 [I6.5].
The setup table should be made of non-conductive low-permittivity (ε r ) material (for example
extruded polystyrene foam). Avoid using materials that are known to be conductive at certain
frequencies, especially laminated wood or materials that will change RF behaviour due to
environmental conditions (changes of humidity will generally affect wood). Apply for example
extruded polystyrene foam boards.

I.4.3 GTEM, measurements above 1 GHz
In common with antenna measurement above 1 GHz a GTEM requires a different

measurement technique than below 1 GHz. At these frequencies the emissions can have very
narrow beam widths and so the EUT needs to be rotated in order to ensure the maximum
amplitude is found. Rotating of the EUT in 5 degree steps is recommended. In this case the
maximum value of emission can be recorded for each position over the full swept frequency
range. See [I6.3] for further information.

I.4.4 Uncertainties
Information on measurement uncertainty can be found at page 30 of “The Use of GTEM Cells
for EMC Measurements” [I6.4].
Errors caused by cross-polarization may be improved in the range of 125 MHz to 220 MHz by
fitting ferrite tiles (100 mm × 100 mm × 6,5 mm) under the EUT table. This is only a problem
with the larger cells. Typically the 1,75 m cell would use 64 tiles [I6.1].
Uncertainties can also be reduced by ensuring no part of the EUT is positioned below 15 % of
the transmission line (septum) height [I6.2].
I.5 Specific EUT arrangement requirements for radiated emission

measurements above 1 GHz using an RVC
The RVC is a fully reflective chamber that can be used to measure radiated emissions from
an EUT. See basic standard IEC 61000-4-21 [I6.7]. The measurement is performed by
rotating one or more stirrers (metallic paddle wheels) in steps over a complete rotation. An
overview of the RVC facility for radiated emission measurements is depicted in Figure I.4.
IEC 61000-4-21 contains the measurement method (Annex E), calibration procedure (Annex B)
and relevant background information (Annex A).

Figure I.4 – Overview of the reverberation chamber

for radiated emission measurement
The EUT should be placed in the calibrated test volume of the RVC; typically the EUT will be
placed in the centre of the test volume. The EUT arrangement (including cable routing) in the
RVC should be the same as applicable for the SAC as shown in D.1.1 and Clause D.3 for
tabletop, floor standing, or combined EUTs.
Uncertainty considerations for the RVC method can be found in reference [I6.6].
