Clause 5: Vehicle portion of the standard. This is to measure the amount of noise generated by the vehicle will be induced into the on-board receiver antenna port. Clause 6: Component module test section where conducted and radiated emissions are measured. As can be seen in the notes of Table 1, many of the SAE standards are inactive because they have been withdrawn as complete standards and reserved for use to document differences from the international standards.
Table 2 shows the main SAE standards that are still active for both vehicle components and vehicles. As with Table 1, Table 2 is not intended to show all the different parts of the standard, but to show the complexity of the standard documents and the many parts and methods that are covered under them.

Electromagnetic compatibility procedure for vehicle components-immunity to electrostatic discharge. The regulatory bodies want to make sure that an item with an internal combustion engine does not cause unwanted interference with TV and radio reception when it drives past or is used nearby a residence or business. CISPR 25 is not typically used for regulatory purposes, it is commonly used by the vehicle manufacturers to assure good performance of receivers mounted on-board the vehicle.
If the radio mounted in the vehicle, boat or other device does not perform reliably, then consumer satisfaction and ultimately product sales could suffer.
Both CISPR 12 and CISPR 25 deal with automobiles vehicles which operate on land powered by internal combustion engines, boats vehicles which operate on the surface of water powered by internal combustion engines, and devices powered by internal combustion engines but not necessarily for the transport of people. This last category includes compressors, chainsaws, garden equipment, etc. CISPR 12 would apply to all of these devices since they could affect the performance of nearby off-board receivers.
As an example, a chainsaw with an internal combustion engine but with no on-board receivers would need to meet the requirements of CISPR 12, but CISPR 25 would not apply to this chainsaw since it does not utilize any on-board receivers.
CISPR 12 radiated emissions measurements are made at either 3 meter or 10 meter test distances. Measurements for boats can also be made on the water. The specification currently does not provide a method to achieve this correlation.
CISPR 25 has two parts. One part deals with a full vehicle or system test in which the antennas mounted on the vehicle are used to sense the noise generated by the different electric and electronic systems mounted on the same vehicle. This test shows how much noise generated by the vehicle will be introduced into the radios antenna port sort of a self-immunity test.
The other section of the standard deals with conducted and radiated measurements of vehicle components and modules. In this article, we are going to concentrate on the module radiated emissions test section of CISPR 25, and only briefly highlight some of the additions needed to support electric vehicles.
More specifically, this article will concentrate on the chamber requirements for the standard. CISPR 25 states that the electromagnetic noise level in the test area has to be 6 dB lower than the lowest level being measured.
An RF shielded room is typically used to keep RF signals from the external environment out of the test area so that the equipment under test EUT remains the dominant source of any radiated interference. Although the shielded room is too small to support resonant modes at low frequencies, the number of modes increases with frequency above the cut off of the chamber. When these resonant modes appear, they can add significant error to the measurements. To reduce these errors, the shielded room covered with RF absorber material on its ceiling and interior walls, greatly supresses internal reflections so that the dominant coupling path is between the EUT and measurement antenna.
Figure 1: A shielded room blocks the noise from outdoor sources of EM interference. One beneficial consequence of the low measurement frequency is the fact that the chamber sizes are electrically small at these low frequencies, so no significant resonant behaviour appears.
The standard therefore concentrates on absorber performance at 70 MHz and above. The standard requires that the absorber used must have better than -6 dB absorption at normal incidence. To achieve these levels, there are several types of absorber technology on the market today. One of the most efficient and cost effective is a polystyrene based absorber that combines a high-performance ferrite tile with a polystyrene EMC absorber, having 60cm x 60cm base and 60cm height.
The main absorber substrate is based on expanded polystyrene EPS , which is volumetrically loaded with lossy materials, and environmentally friendly fire retardants. Advanced uniform loading in the manufacturing process results in superior RF performance an excellent absorption uniformity.
The closed cell structure of this type of absorber makes it suitable for use even in high humidity environments. These features all contribute to providing for a better controlled and predictable chamber test environment. Figure 2 presents the performance of one type of hybrid polystyrene absorber. Figure 2: Typical performance of polystyrene absorber. An alternative polyurethane absorber typically 36 inches 1m in depth, EHP 36, can be used with improved high frequency performance due largely to the increased material length.
But, without the benefit of the matching ferrite material used in the hybrid, the polyurethane only absorber suffers from reduced low frequency performance.
Several guidelines must be followed when sizing the chamber and the starting point is the EUT, which is determines the size of the test bench. As Figure 4 shows, the bench must accommodate the largest EUT and all the cables that are needed to power and communicate with the device.
The cables are routed in a cable harness that is positioned along the front edge of the bench. The cable harness itself is a significant component of the EUT and is the main component illuminated by the measurement antenna since at lower frequencies frequencies for which the device under test is electrically small the main coupling to radiated fields will occur through the cables feeding the device.
This same procedure is used in MIL STD [3] and in ISO [4] and as shown in the illustration, a line impedance stabilization network is used to provide a defined impedance for the power to the device. Figure 5 shows how the size of the bench is determined. The ground plane bench must extend all the way to the shield and in most cases, it is grounded to the wall of the shielded room.
The standard, however, does permit the bench to be grounded to the floor as an alternative. As defined in CISPR 25, the minimum width of the reference ground plane bench for radiated emissions shall be mm, the minimum length of the ground plane for radiated emissions shall be mm, or the length needed to support the entire EUT plus mm, whichever is larger.
The minimum overall dimensions of the compliant chamber are determined by a series of dimensional relationships based primarily on the size of the test bench.
With the use of hybrid absorber with a depth of 60 cm to line the walls and ceiling of the chamber, Figure 6 shows that the width of the chamber is determined by the length of the absorber material with a one meter space left between the bench and the tips of the absorbing material. For chambers that will also be used for e-motor testing, the motor is also be part of the EUT.
In some cases the motor is supported on a separate structure adjacent to the test bench for mechanical reasons. In this case it still needs to be connected to the ground plane so in effect it will be an extension of the ground plane bench and subject to the minimum distances as defined in the standard.
For the height and the length of the chamber, CISPR 25 further defines the separation distances to be followed in determining the minimum space needed.
The first and most critical is the test distance where emissions are to be measured at a minimum distance of 1 m from the cable harness to the antenna. The other rule states that no part of the antenna can be closer than 1 m away from the tips of the absorbing material.
These rules and recommended antennas define the length and height of the chamber. The 1 m distance to the cable harness is measured from the axis of the antenna elements for the monopole rod and the biconical antenna. For the log periodic dipole array LPDA , the distance is measured from the tip of the antenna. Finally, for the horn antennas the distance is measured from the front face or aperture plane of the antenna.
The longest antenna is the LPDA. In addition to the 1 m test distance and the 1 m for the antenna length, we have a 1 m clearance from the back of the antenna to the tips of the absorber. The height of the chamber will be driven by the longest antenna.

The test chamber is remarkably spacious and large enough to accommodate full vehicles and voluminous products for EMC testing. Heavy-duty flooring and large turntables enables the chamber to be suitable for the ruggedized and demanding requirements of military component and military vehicle testing.
The increased size allows even large products to be measured in their far-field of emanations, providing a complete and comprehensive EMC test chamber solution. Electrical and electronic devices must comply with Electromagnetic Compatibility EMC standards for both radiated emissions and immunity in most countries.
This test chamber ensures compliant emission and immunity tests can be performed from measurements distances of 1, 3 and 10 meters. With a large and diverse selection of components and accessories, Global EMC can configure the test chamber to your exact needs.
Vehicle access to the test chamber is simplified with automated sliding doors and pneumatic ramps. Up to meter diameter, turntables provide positioning systems for even the largest of vehicles. Honeycomb vents work in conjunction with Air Conditioning HVAC or vehicle extract systems to quietly dissipate heat and fumes and control the internal temperatures of the test chamber.
Ultra-low emission LED lighting is provided to illuminate the test chamber whilst staying below the noise floor of even Military testing parameters.
Shielded Control rooms and Amplifier rooms are configured to exact specification. Including options of air conditioning, fire detection, furniture and dimmable lighting makes the environment a comfortable and safe place to work. A meter test distance is required between your antenna and equipment under test. This separation distance gives the chamber its distinctive rectangular shape. The walls and ceiling are lined with anechoic material to absorb reflections of electromagnetic waves inside the chamber.
This creates a stable and repeatable environment to perform testing, mimicking and open area test site OATS. The external construction is a shielded room, using a Faraday cage principle.
This is to stop unwanted signals from the external environment entering the chamber and causing interference whilst tests are being performed. This provides a broadband anechoic performance, whilst using as little of the internal space as possible.
