What is this BS EN IEC 62037‑6 - Passive RF and microwave devices about?
BS EN IEC 62037‑6 discusses passive RF and microwave devices, and intermodulation level measurement with a focus on the measurement of passive intermodulation in antennas.
BS EN IEC 62037‑6 is the sixth part of the BS EN IEC 62037 multi-series on passive RF and microwave devices that define the test fixtures and procedures recommended for measuring levels of passive intermodulation generated by antennas, typically used in wireless communication systems.
BS EN IEC 62037‑6 provides a purpose that defines qualification and acceptance test methods for antennas for use in low intermodulation (low IM) applications.
Who is BS EN IEC 62037‑6 - Passive RF and microwave devices for?
BS EN IEC 62037‑6 on passive RF and microwave devices is useful for:
- Wireless communication system manufacturers and providers
- Designers of microwave devices
- Regulatory authorities
- Health and safety bodies
Why should you use BS EN IEC 62037‑6 - Passive RF and microwave devices?
An antenna is that part of a radio transmitting or receiving system which is designed to provide the required coupling between a transmitter or a receiver and the medium in which the radio wave propagates.
BS EN IEC 62037‑6 serves as a guide for the design, selection of materials, and handling of components that are susceptible to PIM generation. It is very important to consider the application of the antenna, as there are large differences in acceptable PIM levels between space applications and terrestrial applications.
BS EN IEC 62037‑6 provides guidance in the areas of quality control as it pertains to the performance of PIM testing of antenna products. Procedures are included to enhance the accuracy and ensure safety when performing PIM measurements on antenna products. The following guidelines will help minimize errors induced within the test system.
With obedience and compliance to BS EN IEC 62037‑6, you can enhance the wireless communication system’s effectiveness and efficacy.
