That's because of near-field effects. You can often get any result you like (or don't like) when measuring in the near field. And there is no relationship between the electric and magnetic field strengths. Consider a dipole - much electric but hardly any magnetic. Then consider a solenoid - just the opposite.

In a truly unperturbed far field, the levels are predictable. The problem of interpolation, extrapolation or some other way of processing the measured results is that, because standards are inconsistent, whichever way you do the processing, it can be challenged. If all the standards were consistent, there would be one standardized process and no possibility of a challenge.

Take the reading. It’s the only way to be sure..

It is not unusual for a product to pass @ 3m and then fail at 10m (or vice versa).

Thanks!

This inconsistency (in the underlying CISPR standards) should be addressed by CISPR, but it is difficult to get consensus whenever it is discussed.

    Hmm, different standards appear to deal with this differently:

      * EN 55011:2009 section 6.2.2.3 instructs you to normalise the
        measured data to the specified distance in the standard
      * EN 55032:2015 section 9 instructs you to adjust the limits (in
        fact it gives limits for 3 and 10m which are 10 dB apart and
        not 10.45dB apart if you extrapolate using 20LogD)
      * ANSI 63-4:2014 instructs you to extrapolate the results

    If the standard or test method doesn’t specify, I guess the
    important thing is to be clear in the report as to what’s been done.

    Regards

    *Subject:* [PSES] Reading or Limit Conversion?

    A number of standards list radiated emission limits in the
    frequency range of 30-1000 MHz for test distance greater than 3 or
    10 meters.

    Testing is normally performed at either 3 meters or 10 meters on
    an Open Area Test Site.

    A question has arisen concerning reporting the test results in
    these cases.

    Any opinions concerning which should be converted:

    a.Convert the limit to the relevant test distance (3 meters or 10
    meters) by adding correction factor or

    b.Convert the reading to the unit and test distance listed in the
    standard (convert dBµV to µV and add correction factor for distance)

    On some occasions I have seen option b. above used.

    Which option is preferable?

    All opinions welcome
