RE: Canada GSM specification

Jacob, Michael - 800 MHz GSM in Canada will fall under a future standard, RSS 132. It is now in review and has not yet been published in the Canada Gazette. The most detailed time frame I have is "soon". Feel free to keep in touch for updates. Kindest regards, Kate Kathy M. MacLean Presid

TEM Cells

Hi, Folks - We have noticed that not everybody is using the same formula for calculating E-field inside of a TEM cell. Does anyone out there have practical formulas (and/or any other useful information...) relating power to the E-field? Many thanks in advance, Cheers, Kate Kathy M. MacL

RE: SAR Test Facility

Hi, Bob - That depends on whether or not you consider Canada to be the 51st state (as some do) . The pointer is: || || Kindest regards,|| || \||/ Kathy M. MacLean\/ President, APREL Laboratories -EMC-RF Safety-Antenna De

RE: My departure

I agree wholeheartedly with Chris. And I must add that whatever this "representation" is, it sounds very Draconian to me. Unless John is secretly an Al-Quaeda operative, I cannot see any reason to force him off this group. Could we request a justification from the moderators, please. Regards t

RE: Mr Woodgate's response to Mr Taylor wrt test table

Could we please get off this topic, have a nice chamomile tea or, if necessary a Librium? I see this all veering off into the realm of political correctness. Let's take it as read that we all respect each others' views (even if we don't always) and that posting to an (essentially) public and

RE: Varient Model on Fcc.

For a listed product, is a multiple listing not required? It certainly is here in Canada. Remember, the trend at the FCC is to ensure that the FCC ID matches or is linked to the company placing the product on the market. The other question to be asked is, is the product truly identical, or is

Hi, Folks - I have been asked about the whereabouts/contact info for an ESD test equipment vendor in Canada (last know address Etobicoke, ON) who go by/went by the name of PICO Q. Does anyone have any information that they can pass on so that I can forward it? Kindest regards and thanks in adv

RE: Steel Balls vs. Chickens

Then, of course, there is the (apocryphal?) story of the Brits forgetting to defrost the chickens in their tests... just goes to say that those dreally etailed test procedures can come in handy... Kathy M. MacLean President, APREL Laboratories -EMC-RF Safety-Antenna Design/Test-SAR/MPE-SAR/Ne

RE: Wrist Medical Device with a GSM Link

Peter - Regarding the US and Canadian approvals - 1. I assume that the GSM radio module in question includes operation at 1900MHz and is approved here - if it is a 900/1800 MHz version only, it is a no go. 2. The final device must meet be re-approved both in US and Canda as a new radio devi

RE: EMC 2001 - practical or technical subjects ?

Gunter: You really should attend: this is a great event not only for both technical and practical papers and presentations (there are also workshops), but a terrific opportunity to meet peers and colleagues. Some friendships will last a lifetime (or at least until you get into an impassioned d

Client Presence During Testing

Hello, Folks - Can you share with me how your favourite/preferred lab(s) handle client presence during testing? I'd like to know a) Do they allow presence in lab (technical area) itself ? If not, then where are clients who are at the lab normally placed? b) Are engineering/design type tests
