3、st method covers the determination of the electromagnetic shielding effectiveness of durable relocatable shieldedenclosures.1.1.1 The intended application of this test method is for virgin shielded enclosures that do not have any equipment or equipmentracks. It is recommended that tests be conducted

19、1523. Terminology3.1 DefinitionsSee Terminologies E631 and E1749 for definitions of general terms used in this test method.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 Test ConfigurationA transmitting antenna is connected to an electromagnetic source set to a specific frequency andamplitude.Areceiving antenna is pl
20、aced a specified distance from the transmitting antenna, and the received electromagnetic fieldlevel is recorded as a reference or calibration measurement.The transmitting antenna and electromagnetic source are placed outsidethe shielded enclosure. The receiving antenna and associated test equipment
21、 are placed inside the shielded enclosure. Thetransmitting and receiving antennas separation, frequency, and amplitude are the reference measurements. The transmitting andreceiving antennas are at the same height for a given test point. The received electromagnetic field level is recorded as the tes
22、tmeasurement. The ratio of the test measurement to the reference measurement is the electromagnetic shielding effectiveness of theshielded structure at the measurement location and frequency. The logarithm of this ratio is typically used in expressing theshielding effectiveness in decibels.4.2 Test
23、FrequenciesA summary of nominal test frequencies and corresponding test configurations is shown in Table 1.5. Significance and Use5.1 This standard provides measurement procedures for determining the electromagnetic shielding effectiveness of durable rigidwall relocatable shielded enclosures. This s
24、tandard specifies a method for comparing the shielded enclosure performance ofstructures provided by different suppliers. In addition, this standard is written to minimize variations in measured shieldingeffectiveness at a given frequency and test point regardless of test personnel, equipment, and t
25、est site. Therefore, the shieldingeffectiveness of a durable rigid wall relocatable shielded enclosure of any size from any supplier can be determined. This standardspecifies a minimum set of measurements at a given frequency and a minimum set of frequencies to determine shieldingeffectiveness.5.2 S
26、ource FieldsPerformance of a shielded enclosure is to be assessed for two source fields: magnetic and plane wave.5.2.1 Magnetic Field MeasurementsThe attenuation provided by a shielded enclosure is assessed by using a local source togenerate the near field. The magnetic field measurements are specif
27、ied for two narrow frequency bands: 140 to 160 kHz and 14to 16 MHz.5.2.2 Plane Wave MeasurementsThe attenuation provided by a shielded enclosure is assessed by using a locally generateddistant source or plane wave field. The plane wave measurements are specified for three narrow frequency bands: 300
28、 to 500 MHz,900 to 1000 MHz, and 8.5 to 10.5 GHz.6. Interferences6.1 Interference with Electronic EquipmentCare shall be taken to avoid interference with other electronic equipment operatingin the vicinity.6.2 Operational Impact Analysis and RiskThe electromagnetic barrier must remain intact during
29、the shielding effectivenessmeasurement sequence, and use of electrically noisy equipment must be restricted. Therefore, construction activity or unusualoperations (facility modification or maintenance) may be affected. Radiated signal levels should present no hazard to equipment,but frequency adjust
30、ments may be required to avoid self interference or interference with nearby facilities. Record the actual testfrequencies. Normal electrical safety precautions apply.7. Apparatus7.1 The required apparatus is identified in Table 2. Choose test equipment that provides a dynamic range of at least 10 d
31、B (20dB is preferable (see Note 1) in excess of the shielding effectiveness requirement at the test frequency.TABLE 1 Test Frequencies and Test ConfigurationsNominal Test Frequency Corresponding TestConfiguration150 kHz and 14 MHz Fig. 1400 MHz, 1000 MHz, and 10 GHz Fig. 2E1851 153NOTE 120 dB of dyn
32、amic range makes the test easier to perform by less experienced personnel. The standard uses a minimum of 10 dB becauseit offers a lower cost solution to testing durable rigid wall relocatable structures. If the existing test equipment has 20 dB of dynamic range then 20 dBof dynamic range should be
33、used. It makes the hot spots stand out more clearly from the background noise on the LCD displays on spectrum analyzers.8. Hazards8.1 For human exposure to electromagnetic energy in controlled environments, the maximum permissible exposure to electricand magnetic field strengths shall be minimized t
34、o the maximum extent possible. Acceptable levels can be found in IEEEStd C95.1-1991 and OSHA Regulation, 29, CFR.9. Preparation of Apparatus9.1 New and Existing Durable Relocatable Enclosure TestingTesting of new durable rigid wall relocatable shielded enclosurescan be conducted at the manufacturing
35、 site. Manufacturing site testing can locate structural defects or weaknesses or both andcorrections may be easily implemented. For existing structures, weaknesses can be determined and corrected during maintenanceor periodic retesting.9.2 Movable EquipmentMoveable equipment containing metal, not no
36、rmally housed in the enclosure or attached outside theenclosure, shall be removed from the enclosure prior to making measurements.9.3 Preliminary ProceduresPerform the following preliminary test on all accessible shielding faces to detect weak points andto permit remedy of shielding defects caused b
37、y faulty assembly and poor workmanship prior to actual measurement.9.3.1 With the transmitting antenna turned off, perform a continuous wave (cw) measurement at each frequency to be used fortesting to ensure that no emitters are nearby that may cause interference. Frequency adjustments may be necess
38、ary to avoidinterference. Setup for this measurement is the reference measurement (see Section 910 and Fig. 1a and Fig. 2a).9.3.2 Additionally, perform a receiving equipment coupling measurement. The setup for this measurement is the referencemeasurement (Section 910) with the following exceptions.
39、Disconnect the receiving antenna from the nearest cable and replacethe receiving antenna with a dummy load (resistive load matched to the characteristic impedance of the receiving system) as shownin Fig. 3. Measured levels shall be negligible so the required dynamic ranges are maintained. If the mea
