1.0 Introduction
The RF300 large loop antenna has been developed to meet the
requirements of EN55015: 2006 + A2: 2009, section 9.9.1, which
refers to CISPR16-1-4: 2007 + A1: 2008 section 4.6.1. This specifies
the limits for magnetic field induced current for luminaires with lamp
operating frequencies in excess of 100Hz.
Construction of the RF300 is as detailed in annex C of EN55016. This
antenna is fully compliant with the standard and details of the
calibration factors are included in this manual. These antenna factors
should be added to the results to obtain correct measurements that
can be compared directly with the limits.
Test setup and limits should be conducted as required by EN55015,
section 4.4.
The design of the RF300 is such that it can be readily erected and
provide a rigid and stable configuration for accurate and repeatable
measurements.
A calibration loop (RF300C) is available as an option if on-site
calibration is deemed necessary. The RF300C allows the calibration
loop to be used on all three axes and rotated within each as required
by the standards.
