7.1.7.2 Power behaviour (release)
The only difference between this measurement and the measurement for attack in clause 7.1.6.2 is that in this case the measurement is to determine the time elapsed between switching off the transmitter and the moment when the carrier power is within defined limits. Measurement uncertainty for release is therefore the s...

7.1.8 Transient behaviour of the transmitter
Transient behaviour of the transmitter is the period of transient frequency/power behaviour immediately following the switching on or off of the transmitter.

7.1.8.1 Transient frequency behaviour
a) Methodology Transient frequency behaviour is the frequency error of the transmitter during switch on and switch off transients. Transmitter frequency error as a function of time during this period is measured by means of a test discriminator providing vertical deflection to a storage oscilloscope (see figure 68). Tr...

4.3 Test sites
There are four test sites which may be used for determining absolute values during radiated tests. These are the Anechoic Chamber, an Anechoic Chamber with a ground plane, an Open Area Test Site and a Stripline. These test sites are generally referred to as free field test sites. An additional type of test site is the ...

A Stripline is essentially a transmission line in the same sense as a coaxial cable.

4.3.5 Discussion of a Test Fixture
A Test Fixture is, in most cases, individually constructed for testing a specific equipment type. It consists of a 50 ΩRF connector and a device for electromagnetically coupling to the EUT. It should also incorporate a means for repeatable positioning of the EUT. Figure 8 illustrates a typical Test Fixture. Low dielect...

The coupling mechanism between the EUT and the Test Fixture is extremely complex since the two are placed physically and electrically very close together. This complexity makes any attempt at theoretically modelling a Test Fixture's performance not only very difficult but also time consuming and costly. In practise, th...
