1. CISPR/TC77 Joint Task Force Activity Update ACEC meeting in Paris, June 2006 Prepared by Donald N. Heirman Chairman CISPR Subcommittee A

2. TC77CISPR ACEC 2 Topics Covered  Joint task groups with TC 77 (SC 77B)  Publication of JTF results  Summary

3. TC77CISPR ACEC 3 CISPR / TC 77 Projects 1  Joint task force (JTF) experts from both committees participate (CISPR SC A and SC 77B)  New emission and immunity measurement standards  Used for product compliance  Extending test capability for new product technology

4. TC77CISPR ACEC 4 CISPR / TC 77 Projects 2  TEM Waveguides (Published as 61000-4-20)  Used for emission and immunity testing  Presently applicable for “small EUTs” An EUT is defined as a small EUT if the largest dimension of the case is smaller than one wavelength at the highest test frequency (for example, at 1 GHz λ = 300 mm), and if no cables are connected to the EUT. All other EUTs are defined as large EUTs.
