Full Description

Scope

This consensus standard specifies methods, instrumentation, and facilities requirements for measurement of radio-frequency (RF) signals and RF noise emitted from unlicensed wireless devices. It does not include generic nor product-specific emission limits. Measurement methods are provided for radiated and conducted emissions that can be generated by a variety of devices, as described below. This standard does not consider test methods for unlicensed wireless devices already covered in other published standards, such as Unlicensed Personal Communication Services (UPCS) devices, which are covered in ANSI C63.17 [B1].1 In addition, many types of wireless devices are also subject to regulatory requirements concerning human exposure to RF energy; RF exposure conformity assessment methods are not considered in this standard, but are the subject of other standards, e.g., IEEE Std 1528-2003 [B22]. This document provides standard test methods for determining compliance with regulatory requirements for many types of wireless devices.

Purpose

A wide variety of unlicensed wireless devices (also known as intentional radiators) are subject to certain regulatory requirements. The primary way to show compliance in meeting regulatory requirements is by testing such devices in a repeatable and reproducible manner. This standard presents the methods of measurement to show compliance with the technical specifications for the majority of present wireless devices in wide use. It represents a consolidation and elucidation of procedures that were heretofore dispersed throughout a number of documents, which caused confusion regarding where to find the appropriate test method. It is not expected that all of the wireless devices on the market will in fact be covered by this standard. For example, this standard excludes test procedures for unlicensed wireless devices already covered in other published standards; e.g., Unlicensed Personal Communication Services devices. Also, as new measurement methods mature, this standard will be amended or a follow-up standard developed to present the new method. It is also expected that the ASC C63® Committee that developed this standard will provide a forum for test laboratories, manufacturers, and government agencies to determine the need for additions and amendments of this standard to accommodate new wireless devices in the future.

Abstract

- Superseded. This standard is intended to cover procedures for testing the compliance of a wide variety of unlicensed wireless devices (also called unlicensed intentional radiators) including but not limited to: remote control and security unlicensed wireless devices, frequency hopping and direct sequence spread spectrum devices, anti-pilferage devices, cordless telephones, medical unlicensed wireless devices, Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure devices, intrusion detectors, unlicensed wireless devices operating on frequencies below 30 MHz, automatic vehicle identification systems, and other unlicensed wireless devices authorized by a radio regulatory authority. The test procedures for new technology wireless devices will be added to future editions of this standard as soon as practical after consensus is achieved for compliance testing methods of the new devices. However, this standard excludes test procedures for unlicensed wireless devices already covered in other published standards, e.g., Unlicensed Personal Communication Services (UPCS) devices
