Abstract

Measurement procedures for determining the radiated disturbances from electronic equipment are described in several IEC/CISPR standards and are well probed for frequencies up to 1 GHz. Above that frequency, radiation pattern of EUTs evolve complex forms so that the direction and magnitude of the maximum directivity is not known by design. Hence, standardized sampling approaches might underestimate the 'true' maximum of the radiated emission. In this paper, an extension of these measurement procedures is proposed. The method uses a stochastic approach for estimating the maximum directivity based on the electrical size of the EUT. This is combined with a total radiated power measurement for a reduced sampling procedure to predict the maximum free-space, far-zone electric field. For validation purposes, an extensive 3-D scan of the radiation pattern of a generic EUT is performed. Different subsampling approaches are then investigated while the new prediction method is applied. It can be shown that the accuracy of the measurement procedures can be increased due to the proposed method.
