There is no such (single) generic DoD or NSA compliance standard or policy. There are two types of compliance - FARs and whatever is in the project spec. The NSA requires that all vendors be registered. JTIC does not publish standards - it is a 'test house'. The DoD, the NSA, and JTIC have

Ferrites on both tx and rx cables. Also, don't forget the pads at the antennas as they reduce sw. I had to use both the ferrites and 6 dB pads to eliminate swings, which were obviously not due to site geometry but cabling issues. The back edge of the OATS on the transmit side can also affect your

Look at CISPR 16-1, Annex M for insight. This provides the basis for the +/- 4 dB. 3 of the 4 dB is already measurement uncertainty with the remaining 1 dB as site imperfections. However this MU does not include the signal source or the repeatibility of the test procedure. Bob Heller 3M
