MIL-STD-461 RE101

Rent, buy, or lease measurement equipment for MIL-STD-461 RE101 radiated emissions, magnetic field requirements. The EMC Shop specializes in military electromagnetic compliance testing.

OVERVIEW OF MIL-STD-461 RE101

Radiated Emissions, magnetic field

This requirement is applicable from 30 Hz to 100 kHz for radiated emissions from equipment and subsystem enclosures, including electrical cable interfaces. The requirement does not apply to radiation from antennas.

This test procedure is used to verify that the magnetic field emissions from the EUT and its associated electrical interfaces do not exceed specified requirements.
