Calibration of EM Clamps can be divided into two categories.   

The  first  category  includes  the  calibration/measurement  of  its  electrical  performance 
parameters, such as Coupling Factor, Decoupling Factor and Impedance.   

These calibrations are typically performed on a periodic basis in order to verify that the 
product  continues  to  be  in  proper  working  order,  (i.e.:  functioning  within  its  prescribed 
specifications and/or in compliance with the applicable requirements.  These calibrations 
are discussed in the following subsections. 

The second category includes test level calibrations, which will be discussed in detail in 
section 6.
