Not relevant to the question, but I'm very disappointed to see
'dB(ohm)'. The point is that this concept is mathematically nonsense.

Consider V = IR

20logV = 20log(IR) = 20log I + 20log R

Now consider

P = I^2R

10logP = 10log(I^2) + 10logR

So is the 'dB(ohm)' 20logR or 10logR?

The UK national EMC committee has pointed this out to CISPR committees
on several occasions, but the mistake keeps being made.
