Abstract :
The calibration of EMC antenna has always been a frustrating subject for most EMC laboratories for various reasons. On the other hand in many cases EMC antennas are recalibrated when it is not strictly necessary. This paper proposes a procedure to establish when EMI antennas shall be calibrated on the basis of technical considerations without making reference to abstract quality assurance rules.
