    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Describes consensus standard methods, instrumentation, and facilities for measurement of radio-frequency (RF) signals and noise emitted from electrical and electronic devices in the frequency range of 9 kHz to 40 GHz, as usable, for example, for compliance testing to U.S. (47CFR15) and Canada (ICES-003) regulatory requirements.
