Re: [PSES] Antenna tilting or boresigjting for radiated emissions

2023-03-29 Thread Ken Javor
Previous comments restrict the issue to microwave frequencies and a
double-ridge guide horn.

I believe this issue first came up when transitioning from dipoles to higher
gain antennas below 1 GHz, such as log-periodic arrays. The same concept
applies to LPAs.

Subject: [PSES] Antenna tilting or boresigjting for radiated emissions

Hi all,

Is there an FCC / ANSI requirement, or  maybe just recommendation, for
antenna tilting or boresighting wrt radiated emissions in a semi-anechoic
chamber ?

If yes, can you please get me the reference section in FCC Part15 or ANSI
std or somewhere else? 


Thanks a lot in advance!

Re: [PSES] Antenna tilting or boresigjting for radiated emissions

2023-03-29 Thread David Schaefer
It is in both C63.4 and C63.10 for above 1 GHz (so not a semi anechoic chamber 
due to the absorber on the ground plane).

C63.4 Clause 8.3.2.2


The final measurements are performed on a site meeting the requirements of 5.5. 
For measurements above
1 GHz, use the cable, EUT arrangement, and mode of operation determined in the 
exploratory testing to
produce the emission that has the highest amplitude relative to the limit. 
Place the measurement antenna
away from each area of the EUT determined to be a source of emissions at the 
specified measurement
distance, while keeping the measurement antenna aimed at the source of 
emissions at each frequency of
significant emissions, with polarization oriented for maximum response. The 
measurement antenna may
have to be higher or lower than the EUT, depending on the radiation pattern of 
the emission and staying
aimed at the emission source for receiving the maximum signal. The final 
measurement antenna elevation
shall be that which maximizes the emissions. The measurement antenna elevation 
for maximum emissions
shall be restricted to a range of heights of from 1 m to 4 m above the ground 
or reference ground plane. The
data collected shall satisfy the report requirements of Clause 10.


C63.10

The emission signal shall be kept within the illumination area of the 3 dB 
beamwidth of the antenna so that
the maximum emission from the EUT is measured. This may be achieved by either 
pointing the antenna at
an angle toward the source of the emission or by testing the EUT as described 
in 6.6.3.3.

6.6.3.3 covers testing an EUT in 3 orientations.

Thanks,

Hi all,

Is there an FCC / ANSI requirement, or  maybe just recommendation, for antenna 
tilting or boresighting wrt radiated emissions in a semi-anechoic chamber ?

If yes, can you please get me the reference section in FCC Part15 or ANSI std 
or somewhere else?


Thanks a lot in advance!
