While I had nothing to do with any CISPR limit setting or test methods, it seems intuitively appealing that the 80 MHz demarcation between conducted and radiated immunity is based on the efficiency of the biconical antenna, or any similarly sized antenna: Ken Javor Phone: (256) 650-5261 From

Not an answer, but one would expect some sort of correlation between the 61000-4-6 levels of 1, 3, and 10 V, and the 61000-4-3 levels of 1, 3, and 10 V/m. But I have asked for and never seen the derivation. Ken Javor Phone: (256) 650-5261 Hello all, I am looking for background
