ANSI ASC C63 ® Recognizes
Member Contributions
At the Telecommunications Certification
Body Council
(TCBC) meeting in Baltimore
the week of April 26, 2010, there was
an opportunity to present the ANSI
ASC C63 ® membership certificate to
the TCBC. This organization provides
significant contribution via its primary
representative on C63 ® – Art Wall, a
consultant with his own company,
Radio Regulatory Consultants. At a
break in the TCBC meeting, the Vice
Chairman of C63 ® – Dan Hoolihan of
Hoolihan EMC Consulting – presented
the certificate to the secretary of the
TCBC. See the photo at right for the
short ceremony.
ANSI ASC C63 ® handed out similar
certificates to its members at its meeting
on 22 April 2010 in Piscataway, New
Jersey, in conjunction with its meeting
series held at IEEE headquarters.
Included with this article are a few
photos showing members receiving
their certificates.
The Telecommunication Certification Body Council’s Workshop was held in Baltimore,
Maryland on April 26-28, 2010. During the course of the Workshop, Art
Wall gave a summary presentation on two ANSI ASC C63 ® standards; C63.10
(Unlicensed Wireless Devices) and C63.26 (Licensed Wireless Devices). In front of
100 attendees, the Vice-Chair of C63 ® , Dan Hoolihan (left), presented the 2010
Membership Certificate for the TCB Council to Chris Harvey (center), the Executive
Director of the TCB Council, as Art Wall (right), the Chairman of the Working
Group that developed C63.10, looks on approvingly. Mr. Hoolihan thanked the
TCB Council for their support and encouraged their continued participation in
the development of the next edition of C63.10 and the first edition of C63.26.
Telecommunication Certification Bodies are doing about 98% of the Certifications
for FCC Compliance in the USA.
REVERBERATION CHAMBER
THEORY/EXPERIMENT SHORT COURSE
September 20 – 24, 2010
OKLAHOMA STATE UNIVERSITY
Location: OSU-Stillwater, OK
The theory portion covers the statistical nature of reverberation chamber testing, characterization of the EM test conditions, and
the tradeoff between uncertainty in test results and test time. The experimental portion includes demonstrations, test setups and
instrumentation, statistical sampling techniques (mechanical tuner operation and frequency sweeps), and chamber characterization
and calibration measurements. While the experimental portion includes reverberation chamber demonstrations it consists
primarily of a series of hands-on experiments conducted in 4 to 5 person groups. The notes format includes the objective, a
description of the experiment, instrumentation, test setup, procedures, and room for specific measurements, analyses, results, and
conclusions. The experiments and demonstrations are conducted in the small OSU reverberation chamber and an ETS-Lindgren
SMART 80 chamber. The small chamber, constructed in-house by OSU students for less than $1000, indicates the flexibility of
the reverberation chamber concept. The small chamber can be used for radiative immunity and emission testing above 1 GHz in
accordance with several standards. The chamber demonstrates the statistical equivalence of the electromagnetic environment in all
conductive cavities independent of size and construction materials. Participants will have a thorough understanding of the operation
of a reverberation chamber for EMC testing. They will have developed a test plan for an immunity test with specified conditions
and objectives. They will also have a permanent record of data collected and analyzed, and an extensive set of notes.
