A Numerical Investigation Comparing Boresighting and Linear Scanning Methods for EMC Emissions Measurements

This paper compares boresighting and linear scanning methods in EMC emissions measurements above 1 GHz. At higher frequencies, emissions from typical equipment exhibit complex radiation patterns, making it statistically challenging to capture the true peak radiation. Numerical experiments are conducted to demonstrate the advantages of boresighting. The findings contribute to the development of standards and aim to enhance the accuracy and reliability of EMC emissions measurements.
