Preface:

This is the third edition of CAN/CSA-IEC CISPR 16-1-1, Specification for radio disturbance and immunity measuring apparatus and methods — Part 1-1: Radio disturbance and immunity measuring apparatus — Measuring apparatus, which is an adoption without modification of the identically titled IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) Standard CISPR 16-1-1 (fourth edition, 2015-09). It supersedes the previous edition published in 2015 as CAN/CSA-CISPR 16-1-1 (adopted IEC CISPR 16-1-1:2010+A1:2010+A2:2014).

Scope:

This part of CISPR 16 specifies the characteristics and performance of equipment for the measurement of radio disturbance in the frequency range 9 kHz to 18 GHz. In addition, requirements are provided for specialized equipment for discontinuous disturbance measurements.

NOTE In accordance with IEC Guide 107, CISPR 16-1-1 is a basic EMC standard for use by product committees of the IEC. As stated in Guide 107, product committees are responsible for determining the applicability of the EMC standard. CISPR and its sub-committees are prepared to co-operate with product committees in the evaluation of the value of particular EMC tests for specific products.

The specifications in this standard apply to EMI receivers and spectrum analyzers. The term "measuring receiver" used in this standard refers to both EMI receivers and spectrum analyzers. The calibration requirements for measuring receivers are detailed in Annex J.

Further guidance on the use of use of spectrum analyzers and scanning receivers can be found in Annex B of any one of the following standards: CISPR 16-2-1:2014, CISPR 16-2-2:2010 or CISPR 16-2-3:2010.
