There is something I do not understand about this discussion. An instrument, IMHO, should not primarily named by its application. In this case, I would call it a test receiver, not an EMI receiver (not good) or EMC receiver (even worse). The same test receiver can be used to measure EMI, but

The matched antennas are calibrated together and the antenna factors and gains divided in half and then assigned to each - that's the matching part. Look at the math for the NSA calculation and it appears that these effects are subtracted out. - Bill Indecision may or may not be the problem.
