IEEE 299.1-2013

This standard provides uniform measurement procedures for determining the effectiveness of electromagnetic (EM) shielding for a variety of physically small and large and electrically small and large enclosures within specified frequency ranges.

The purpose of this standard is to provide test procedures for the measurement of the shielding effectiveness of enclosures whose maximum linear dimension is less than 2 m and whose minimum linear dimension is greater than 0.1 m.

New IEEE Standard - Inactive-Reserved. This standard provides uniform measurement procedures for determining the shielding effectiveness of electromagnetic (EM) shielding for a variety of enclosures and boxes having all dimensions between 0.1 m and 2 m in the radio frequency range not addressed by IEEE Std 299(TM)-2006. This standard is divided into two parts: Part I - 0.75 m to 2 m and Part II - physically small (< 0.75 m) but electrically large enclosures. In addition to a number of annexes aiding the measurement of shielding effectiveness of these enclosures, Annex I addresses physically small and electrically small enclosures, and Annex J addresses electrically small enclosures in reverberation chambers. Problems occurring in the testing of small enclosures having linear dimension less than 2 m are very different from determining the shielding effectiveness of large rooms and broad depending on the actual size of the enclosure itself. A number of other annexes are included that address rationale, mathematical formulas, selection of measurement techniques, preliminary measurement and repairs, wall-mounted monopoles, impedance mismatch correction, and using isolated monopoles in outer reverberation chambers.
