Mike Howard and his folks have been calibrating antennas and probes for me for a _really_ long time (mid-90s), across multiple companies. I've always found them to be consistent, competitively (or better) priced and offering quick turn-around. In the usual disclaimer: I have absolutely

Note that 1.5² is just over a tenth wavelength at 1 GHz. 12.7%, to be exact, and of course Ed was going from memory here. We expect no resonances with this dipole loaded at a high, capacitive impedance, or if we measure its current output into a low impedance (allowing the short dipole to look

Patrick: The probe manufacturer says something like “keep the probe box away or out of the field” or “best results are obtained with the probe placed on a slant.” But then they show us isotropicity data that promises +/- ¼ dB. It seems like those are contradictory statements. Back around 2002,

Thank you John and Boštjan for your replies. I'm glad internal power supplies fall under the 4.1.1 clause, because beyond that there are no class 3 energy sources and very few class 2 in the products I'm transitioning. I'll think about how to handle the labelling. Jim Hulbert -

It's important to bear in mind that the manufacturer can do *anything* that is not specifically prohibited using the magic words 'shall not', and can be justified and is documented. Alongside this is the mantra 'If in doubt, write it down.' In time of trouble you can rarely have too much

Hi Jim, 1) Yes, this rule/exception is also applicable for internal power supplies. The duration of transition period depends on voting result of circulated document (amendment to EN 62368-1:2014). 2) EN 60950-1 also has a requirements that symbols need to comply with IEC 60417

Ken: Yes, you are right, the probe doesn't know the frequency. Thus, the manufacturer has to make it flat, by design and construction, or you have to generate your own correction factors based on performance testing of the probe. Ed Price WB6WSN Chula Vista, CA USA From: Ken Javor
