About CISPR 16-1-6

CISPR 16-1-6 provides procedures and supporting information for the calibration of antennas for determining antenna factors (AF) that are applicable to antennas intended for
use in radiated disturbance measurements. The standard has the status of a basic EMC Standard in accordance with IEC Guide 107, Electromagnetic compatibility – Guide to the drafting of electromagnetic compatibility publications.

The AF of an antenna is influenced by nearby surroundings and by its position in space relative to the radiating source. This standard focuses on antenna calibrations that provide the AF in a free-space environment in the direction of the boresight of the antenna. The frequency range addressed is 9 kHz to 18 GHz. The relevant antenna types covered in this standard are listed below:

1) Monopole antennas

2) Loop antennas

3) Dipole antennas

4) Biconical antennas

5) Log-periodic dipole-array (LPDA) antennas

6) Hybrid antennas

7) Horn antennas

CISPR 16-1-6  is also providing information related to measurement uncertainties associated with each calibration method and configuration, and the test instrumentation used.

The standard can be previewed by visiting IEC’s website: https://webstore.iec.ch/en/publication/74687 Full version of the standard can be purchased online on IEC webstore.
