EMC Antenna Calibration and EMC Chamber Site Validation Experts Answer Questions to Resolve your Problems in EMC Measurements – Now and in the Future
Join us for this LIVE webinar on the evening of Monday, June 28 in the US, or the morning of Tuesday, June 29 in China. Active technical contributors to ANSI C63.4 and ANSI C63.5 standards and an expert from the National Institute of Metrology will discuss EMC Antenna Calibration and EMC Test Chamber Site Validation. All IEEE members and non-members are welcome to attend this FREE webinar, but you must register in advance.
Antenna calibration and chamber validation have been a popular topic at EMC test and measurement facilities around the world. While the leading technical standards issued by ANSI C63 and CISPR have detailed descriptions on the test methods and test procedures, the technical background and cross-references between the two standards and general practices are not so well understood and shared among international communities. This webinar is intended to bring the experts representing industry and government metrology institutions together in order to share with you their experience!

Webinar Abstract: The landscape of EMC testing provides a wide variety of different requirements and test methods. Calibration is the process used to provide the traceability on measurement to the International System of Units (SI). Depending on the product testing method and writing body, the three most commonly referenced documents for antenna calibration are CISPR 16-1-6, ANSI C63.5, and SAE ARP 958. This is an overview presentation of the three documents most commonly used by EMC testing standards for the calibration of an antenna.
Meanwhile, EMC chamber test site validation test requirements in CISPR 16-1-4 2019 and ANSI C63.4a 2017 have a slight difference in procedure descriptions. While technically equivalent, they are often used incorrectly; resulting in an NSA error of up to 2.4 dB. This overview presentation "Clarifications on Semi-Anechoic Chamber Test Site Validation Tests Complying to ANSI C63.4a-2017, CISPR 16-1-4:2019" by Mr. Kefeng Liu, Senior Technical Consultant of ETS-Lindgren China, will address the technical issues of the two main industry standards and present solutions to help you perform test site validation more accurately and compliant with both international standards.
Following the presentations, attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions of the speakers, Mr. Kramer, Mr. Liu, and Dr. Meng, via our Moderator, Mr. Zhong Chen, Director of RF Engineering with ETS-Lindgren. Mr. Chen is the Chair of Subcommittee 1 of ANSI ASC C63 which is responsible for EMC antenna calibration (ANSI C63.5) and test site validation standards (ANSI C63.4 and ANSI C63.25). He is also chair of IEEE Standard 1309 committee responsible for developing calibration methods for field probes, and IEEE Standard 1128 that addresses evaluation of RF absorber. He has served as a Distinguished Lecturer for the IEEE EMC Society. Mr. Chen received his M.S.E.E. degree in Electromagnetics from The Ohio State University at Columbus.

Mr. Doug Kramer of ETS-Lindgren
Antenna Calibrations for EMC Testing: SAE ARP 958D, ANSI C63.5-2017, CISPR 16-1-6:2017, and YOU!
EMC testing provides a wide variety of different requirements and test methods. Calibration is the process used to provide the traceability on measurement to the International System of Units (SI). Depending on the product testing method and writing body, the three most commonly referenced documents for antenna calibration are CISPR 16-1-6, ANSI C63.5, and SAE ARP 958. This is a presentation of the three documents most commonly used by EMC testing standards for the calibration of an antenna, how to specify those services as you need them, and when to know the difference.

Dr. Donglin Meng of National Institute of Metrology (NIM)
Measurement Uncertainty Evaluation for Validating EMC Chambers in the Frequency Range from 30 MHz to 1000 MHz
In this presentation, Dr. Meng will share his experience in validating EMC test chambers in the frequency range of 30 MHz to 1000 MHz. He will discuss the industry standards CISPR 16-1-4 and ANSI C63.4. The impact of measurement uncertainty on site validation will be addressed.
Biography:
Donglin Meng received his Ph.D. degree from Beijing Jiaotong University and joined the Chinese National Institute of Metrology (NIM) in 2008, where he is currently an Associate Professor. He had been a visiting scholar at National Physics Laboratory (NPL) of United Kingdom from December 2009 to June 2010. He is also an active member of CISPR /A WG1 and WG2. Dr. Meng has devoted his career to EMC antenna calibrations and EMC chamber validations for more than 10 years. He is currently responsible for the technology development and calibration service from 30 MHz to 1000 MHz at NIM. He was also responsible for developing a spherical near-field scanning system from 400 MHz to 110 GHz in 2016. He has authored and co-authored 40 technical papers.
