"If you can't stand the answer, don't ask the question."
Oh how I wish you had been my lawyer during a couple of program manager inquisitions. I still would have been tarred and feathered, but the walk back to town would have been much shorter. Ed Price WB6WSN Chula Vista, CA USA From: Ken Javor [mailto:ken.ja...@emccompliance.com] Sent: Friday, September 01, 2017 1:05 PM To: EMC-PSTC@LISTSERV.IEEE.ORG Subject: Re: [PSES] Uncertainty in ESD testing I neglected to say in my previous post the obvious: we were discussing implementation of CS118, the new ESD requirement. Regarding charging in where angels fear to tread, MIL-STD-461 has since 1993 imposed measurement system integrity checks, wherein a known stimulus is applied to the transducer and the response at the EMI receiver is verified to be within +/- 3 dB, or the measurement system needs adjustment. For RE102, the radiated electric field requirement, that injection is always less the actual transducer, i.e., the antenna. The antenna is disconnected and the injection is made where the antenna would connect. This approach obeys a fundamental rule of life: "If you can't stand the answer, don't ask the question."
