For immunity testing, the electric field strength generated at a distance d can be

approximated by:

(

)

E

Pg

d

V / m

=

30

d

= distance, in meters

g

= numeric gain (10

G[dB]/10

)

P

= antenna net input power, in watts

An estimate of the power required for any field strength E can be obtained from

Typical Data on page 23. For any other field strength not shown, multiply the

power in watts by the desired E-field squared, or:

P(E V/m) = E

2

P(1 V/m)

Actual transmitted field strength should be verified using an ETS-Lindgren

electric field probe, or equivalent.

For IEC/EN 31000-4-3 type testing, the antenna tip can be placed at any

distance between one and three meters from the EUT as long as the front face

plane is illuminated according to the -0, +6 dB uniform field specification. In

general, closer distances require less power to create a given field strength.
