I don't have a copy of CISPR 16 to reference and so I am curious about how one calibrates an AMN? (or an antenna for that matter). I can see characterizing the AMN so that its transducer factor versus frequency is known and can be then used to calculate a uV level.

See clause 4 and Annex A. It is a good move to get your LISNs calibrated. Recent experience at a test house showed significant differences between supposedly good LISNs. -- OOO - Own Opinions Only.
