Abstract :
A uniform technique to compute the measurement uncertainty of powerline and radiated emission (EMI) tests is presented. This method recommends frequency sampling, traceability to “true values”, identifies systemic factors, and lists realistic values for computation of systemic uncertainty. Total emission test uncertainty can be calculated as a figure of merit (FOM) for relative assessment of the test facility
