Hi everyone.

I'm looking for any surplus copies of HP 85879A Radiated Emissions
Software.

This is no longer sold or supported by HP, but I understand it was the
PRE-PC bread and butter Radiated Emissions package.  If you've 

Please get back to me if you've recently upgraded to a PC based system
or have a lead on this S/W package.  I'd consider getting it with an HP
Series 200 or 300 workstation if not available separately. 

Thanks!!

Best regards, 

Rob.

Kim:  the following is a cut and paste from the FCC rules found on the RCIC
web site

Sec. 15.19 Labelling requirements.

(3) All other devices shall bear the following statement in a conspicuous
location on the device: This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may
not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference received, including interference that may cause undesired
operation.


(5) When the device is so small or for such use that it is not practicable
to place the statement specified under paragraph (a) of this section on it,
the information required by this paragraph shall be placed in a prominent
location in the instruction manual or pamphlet supplied to the user or,
alternatively, shall be placed on the container in which the device is
marketed. However, the FCC identifier or the unique identifier, as
appropriate, must be displayed on the device.

 Dear groupe,
 
 I have just started in a new job and are preparing label text for FCC
 class
 B ITE equipment for verification. I would use the §15.105 text in the
 manual and the following § 15.19 (3) text on the equipment:
 
   This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is
   subject to the following
 two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
 (2)
 this device must accept any interference received, including interference
 that may cause undesired operation.
 
 But the production leader say that UL have told them that the following
 text on the equipment is OK:
 
 
  This equipment complies with the requirements in Part 15 of FCC
 Rules.
 See manual
 
 
 Where have UL got this text from and is it OK to use this short version ?

Re: IEC 950 Insulation Requirements

1999-04-12 Thread jrbarnes
Donald,
The numeric suffixes key Table 0.1 to Figure 5A:
*  OP1 through OP6 are all OPERATIONAL INSULATION (clause 1.2.9.1) which does
not provide protection from electric shock.
*  B1 through B8 are all BASIC INSULATION (clause 1.2.9.2) which provides one
level of protection from electric shock.
*  S1 and S2 are both SUPPLEMENTARY INSULATION (clause 1.2.9.3) which provides a
second level of protection from electric shock.
*  R1 through R4 are all REINFORCED INSULATION (clause 1.2.9.5), which is
equivalent to DOUBLE INSULATION (clause 1.2.9.4),
   which consists of  BASIC plus SUPPLEMENTARY INSULATION.
*  S/R is SUPPLEMENTARY or REINFORCED INSULATION that meets Table 0.1 notes 3 
4.

The insulation requirements cover not only the expected peak voltages, but also
the transient voltages that may appear on the different circuits.  They also
cover the possibility of a pinhole or insufficient overlap of the insulation
permitting an arc to occur.  Insulation requirements are mainly covered by IEC
950:
*  Section 2.9  Clearances, creepage distances and distances through insulation.
*  Section 5.3  Electric strength.
*  Section 5.4  Abnormal operating and fault conditions.
*  Annex F (normative) Measurement of creepage distances and clearances.

Clearance is distance through the air.  If an arc occurs, and then stops, the
air is assumed to completely return to normal.  Creepage is distance over the
surface of an insulator.  If an arc occurs and then stops there can be damage
that leaves the surface conductive or otherwise more prone to arc again.  The
required creepage distances are a function of:
*  Transient voltages.
*  Pollution class-- how much crud can build up on a surface  its likelihood of
getting wet.
*  Comparative Tracking Index (CTI)-- how badly insulator gets damaged by an
arc.

Subject:  IEC 950  Insulation Requirements





I have just received a copy of the IEC 950 standard and after
reviewing the insulation requirements outlined in section 2.2.6 I
have a question that the group maybe able to shed some light on.
The question relates to the two table 0.1 and Table 5  which is
intended to give examples for the application of the various
insulation requirements.

In the two table it appears there are numerical reference to the
different categories of insulation, for example OP1, OP2, B1, B2
etc. I have reviewed the entire standard and I can not find any other
reference other then these tables to these numerical references of
the different categories of insulation.

Could some one provide some insight in the the intent and use of
these tables? Are the numerical references simply to identify
various circuits to circuit situations and which of the five categories
of insulation applies?

Thanks before hand

RE: FCC part 15 text

1999-04-12 Thread Flinders, Randall
The following is taken from an FCC Guide to the new DoC procedure for Class 
B Certification.  As you can see, the text of the Compliance Statement 
located on the exterior of the device depends on the size of the device, as 
described below:

PRODUCT LABELING INFORMATION:

If the device is extremely small, no FCC certification information need be 
placed on the unit, but both the FCC Compliance Statement and the FCC 
Warning Statement should be included in the Manual in a conspicuous 
location.

If the device is moderately small, an abbreviated FCC Compliance statement 
should be placed on it's exterior, in no less than (8) point san serif 
type.  Example: (not in correct type or font)

THIS DEVICE COMPLIES WITH PART 15 OF THE FCC RULES.  SEE INSTRUCTION 
MANUAL.

If the product is larger, it should carry the full text of the FCC 
Compliance Statement, as follows, in the same minimum type face and size as 
the abbreviated message above.  The overall size and shape of the notifi  
cation is not regulated.  Example: (Not in correct type or font)

THIS DEVICE COMPLIES WITH PART 15 OF THE FCC RULES.  OPERATION OF THIS 
DEVICE IS SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING TWO CONDITIONS: (1) THE DEVICE MAY NOT 
CAUSE HARMFUL INTERFERENCE, AND (2) THIS DEVICE MUST ACCEPT ANY 
INTERFERENCE RECEIVED, INCLUDING INTERFERENCE THAT MAY CAUSE UNDESIRED 
OPERATION.

Regardless of which scenario your product fits into, keep in mind that you 
are still required to label the product with the FCC Self-Certification 
Logo and associated product number.  If you are submitting an application 
for Certification using the older route (Form 731), the Certification 
Statement and FCC Warning Statement (Statement to the User in the Manual) 
remain the same as above, however, instead of labeling your product with 
the FCC Self-Certify Logo, the product will require the FCC Identifier to 
be placed on the exterior of the product.

MANUAL INFORMATION:

If the product carries no FCC Compliance Statement or the Abbreviated 
Compliance Statement, the full text of the Compliance Statement must be 
included in the manual as follows:

FCC Compliance Statement:

THIS DEVICE COMPLIES WITH PART 15 OF THE FCC RULES.  OPERATION OF THIS 
DEVICE IS SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING TWO CONDITIONS: (1) THE DEVICE MAY NOT 
CAUSE HARMFUL INTERFERENCE, AND (2) THIS DEVICE MUST ACCEPT ANY 
INTERFERENCE RECEIVED, INCLUDING INTERFERENCE THAT MAY CAUSE UNDESIRED 
OPERATION.

Regardless of the form of the FCC Compliance Statement, all tested and 
approved Class B devices should have the FCC Warning Statement in the 
Manual as described in section 15.105(b) of FCC CFR 47 (October 1, 1998).

I hope this helps.

Noise Figure

1999-04-12 Thread WOODS, RICHARD
I am trying to determine the maximum noise figure that I can have for my
1-16.5 GHz EMC receiver system which includes the horn, mixer for above 18
GHz, preamp, cable and spectrum analyzer. I know the following:

*   Signal level received by the horn
*   Gain through the system
*   Noise figure from the horn to the spectrum analyzer
*   Noise floor of the spectrum analyzer

I understand that noise figure is the ratio of the s/n of the input to the
s/n of the output of the system, so if I need an output s/n of 6 dB and have
a NF of 14 dB, I need a s/n input to the horn of 20 dB. So it appears that I
have one missing piece of information - the input noise to the horn.
Now I am lost. Suggestions?
