Margin Calculation

ISO/IEC 11801 (2002) and EN 50173-1

The highest measured insertion loss/attenuation occurs atthe highest measurement frequency. The test equipmentwill have to report the margin between the measured valueand the channel limit at:• 100 MHz for Class D compliance;• 250 MHz for Class E compliance.

The installer has to check that the margin is acceptable.
