MIL-STD-461 RE102

RE102 is a standard under the subcategory of radiated emissions within the umbrella standard of MIL-STD-461. This standard applies to equipment, subsystem enclosures, interconnecting cables, and antennas that are designed to be permanently mounted to the equipment under test (EUT). RE102 does not apply to the transmitter fundamental frequencies and the necessary occupied bandwidth of the signal. The purpose of this standard is to establish that electric field emissions from the EUT and its cabling do not exceed the specified requirements.

RE102 applies to the frequencies below:

• Ground: 2 MHz to 18 GHz
• Ships, surface: 10 kHz to 18 GHz
• Submarinese: 10 kHz to 18 GHz
• Aircraft (Army & Navy): 10 kHz to 18 GHz
• Space: 10 kHz to 18 GHz

Test equipment needed for RE102 requirements:

• Measurement receivers
• Data recording device
• Antennas:
  
  • 10 kHz to 30 MHz, 104 cm rod with impedance matching network. The signal output connector shall be bonded to the antenna matching network case
  • When the impedance matching network includes a preamplifier (active rod), observe the overload precautions in 4.3.7.3.
  • Use a square counterpoise measuring at least 60 cm on a side
  • 30 MHz to 200 MHz, Biconical, 137 cm tip to tip
  • 200 MHz to 1 GHz, Double ridge horn, 69.0 by 94.5 cm opening
  • 1 GHz to 18 GHz, Double ridge horn, 24.2 by 13.6 cm opening
• Signal generators
• Stub radiator
• Capacitor, 10 pF
• LISNs
