Abstract :
A simple, practical and straight-forward method to calculate uncertainty of an electric-field radiation test, using standard engineering techniques and data already at hand at a typical electromagnetic interference (EMI) test facility, is presented. Using this model to standardize the calculation of uncertainty for all measurement sites and apparatus will provide a basis to compare different laboratories and will provide insight on what and where to incorporate improvements in existing operations
