Also on Tuesday, June 8, from 10:10 - 11:30 am EDT in room 313/314, Ross Carlton, EMC Test Systems Engineer with ETS-Lindgren, has organized and chairs the Industry Workshop "Emerging EMC Requirements for 5G mmWave Devices." Mr. Carlton will share some lessons learned when addressing performance validation testing of 5G mmWave devices from an electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) perspective. Garth D'Abreu, Director, Automotive Solutions with ETS-Lindgren, will present "Wireless Coexistence Implications on Automotive Test and Measurement Applications," also in this workshop. Other contributors include Jason Coder, Shared Spectrum Metrology Group Leader, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and Bob DeLisi, TCB/FCB/NB Certification Engineer, Underwriters Labs (UL). Achieving EMC for 5G devices is dependent upon the existence of achievable and appropriate regulatory requirements along with meaningful test methods for demonstrating compliance. The primary body in North America focused on developing EMC test methods for wireless and 5G devices, for both licensed and unlicensed transmitters, is Accredited Standards Committee C63® of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). This workshop will provide an overview of C63 and the standards most relevant to manufacturers of 5G mmWave devices, the emerging technology addressing wireless coexistence, as well as transmitter performance characterization and validation. Time will be allocated for attendee Q&A throughout the workshop.

As an active technical contributor to the ASC C63 committee, Mr. Carlton will provide the demonstration "Measurement of mmWave Radiated Spurious Emissions" during IMS2021. Visitors to ETS-Lindgren's Booth #1527 will see this hands-on application related to the content presented in the Industry Workshop. The demonstration presents a multi-axis effective isotropic radiated power (EIRP) and power spectral density (PSD) measurement solution for a 5G mmWave radiating device, as required by FCC Part 30, ETSI/EN 300 400, ETSI/EN 305 550, and other relevant specifications such as those from the 3GPP. Compatibility with traditional semi-anechoic chambers, common for EMC measurements, and fully anechoic rooms make this demonstration applicable to nearly any EMC or RF lab that handles wireless intentional transmitters. The demonstration will be of a radiated spurious emissions (RSE) measurement in the mmWave frequency range and will be accompanied by a presentation that explains the applicable standards, highlights the challenges associated with making the RSE measurement, and describes the measurement automation employed.
