11.5.1.2 ALSE Method (Bands 6 and 7)
The test setup is illustrated in Figure 11-4
• A ground plane shall not be used for this test.
• The battery may be located on, or under the test bench.
• The DUT and its cable harness, along with the Load Simulator shall lie on an insulated support 1000 mm (+/-50 mm)
above the floor of the test chamber. The dielectric constant of the insulated support shall be less than 1.4.
• Artificial Networks shall not be used.
11.5.1.3 Reverberation Method
• The test setup is illustrated in Figure C-1 of Annex C.
• The reverberation chamber shall be sized large enough to test a DUT within the chamber’s working volume.
• Ground plane shall not be used for this test.
• The mechanical tuner shall be as large as possible with respect to overall chamber size (at least three-quarters of the
smallest chamber dimension) and working volume considerations. Each tuner should be shaped such that a non-
repetitive field pattern is obtained over one revolution of the tuner.
• The electric field probes shall be capable of reading and reporting three orthogonal axes.
• The RF signal generator shall be capable of covering the frequency bands and modulations specified.
• The transmit antenna shall be linearly polarized and capable of satisfying the frequency coverage requirements. The
transmit antenna shall not directly illuminate the test volume.
• The receive antenna shall be linearly polarized and capable of satisfying the frequency coverage requirements. The
receive antenna shall not be directed into the test volume.
• Associated equipment shall be present to record the power levels necessary for the required field strength.
• The DUT shall be at least 250 mm from the chamber walls, tuner, transmit antenna, and receive antenna.
• The DUT and its cable harness, along with the DUT and Load Simulator shall lie on an insulated support within the
middle of the test volume. The dielectric constant of the insulated support shall be less than 1.4.
• Artificial Networks shall not be used.
• The power returns from the DUT shall be connected directly to the battery negative terminal.
