Section B-001-025

Your neighbour's stereo system malfunctions when you are transmitting. What provision in Electromagnetic Compatibility Advisory Bulletin EMCAB-2 deems the stereo system's lack of immunity is the cause?

  • Correct Answer
    The field strength of your emissions, on your neighbour's premises, is below Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada's specified immunity criteria
  • The field strength of your emissions, on your neighbour's premises, is above Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada's specified immunity criteria
  • You are transmitting at or below your maximum permitted power
  • The malfunction stops when you stop transmitting

"If the level of the transmitted signal exceeds the applicable field strength value on the premises of the affected equipment, it will be deemed that the transmission is the cause of the problem. If the field strength is less than the applicable value, the affected equipment's lack of immunity will be judged the cause. These criteria are not applicable to incidents involving the transmissions of AM, FM or TV broadcasting transmitters". (EMCAB-2)

Your neighbour's television receiver malfunctions when you are transmitting. What provision in Electromagnetic Compatibility Advisory Bulletin EMCAB-2 deems your transmission is the cause?

  • Correct Answer
    The field strength of your emissions, on your neighbour's premises, is above Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada's specified immunity criteria
  • You are transmitting at or below your maximum permitted power
  • The malfunction continues when you stop transmitting
  • The field strength of your emissions, on your neighbour's premises, is below Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada's specified immunity criteria

"If the level of the transmitted signal exceeds the applicable field strength value on the premises of the affected equipment, it will be deemed that the transmission is the cause of the problem.

When determining the field strength criterion per Electromagnetic Compatibility Advisory Bulletin EMCAB-2, what type of equipment describes devices often used in home entertainment systems, but not strictly speaking radio apparatus?

  • Low-immunity equipment
  • Correct Answer
    Associated equipment
  • Radio-sensitive equipment
  • Broadcast receivers

"Radio-sensitive equipment" means any device, machinery or equipment, other than radio apparatus, the use or functioning of which is or can be adversely affected by radiocommunication emissions" (Radiocommunication Act). Associated Equipment means radio sensitive equipment which is often, or sometimes exclusively, used in association with radio apparatus, typically forming part of a multipurpose home entertainment system. (EMCAB-2).
