How to perform a RE102 Radiated emission test

This application note explains how the RE102 Radiated Emission test can be performed with RadiMation®. The RE102 test is described in the following document https://quicksearch.dla.mil/qsDocDetails.aspx?ident_number=35789

Equipment used

For this test four antennas are used.

Antenna Frequency range
Rod antenna 10 kHz to 30 MHz
Biconical antenna 30 MHz to 200 MHz
Double ridge horn 200 MHz to 1 GHz
Double ridge horn 1 GHz to 18 GHz

The following devices should be configured:

  • Receiver
  • 4 Antennas
  • Cables

Optionally

  • Antenna polarizer / tower, above 30 MHz both vertical and horizontal polarizations should be measured.

Configuration of the test sites

Create a test site for each antenna / frequency range:

Plaatje: datarecording device (PC) -> receiver -> cable -> antenna

Device name Tab in testsite configuration window note
Antenna Devices 1 Antenna for the required frequency range
Antenna tower Devices 1 Optional antenna tower
Spectrum Analyser Devices 2 The receiver used for the test
Cable preamp -> analyser Cables Cable with a correction file specified for the loss

Perform the test

To perform the test start a Radiated Emission Multiband test:
