COMPLIANCE TESTING OF WIRELESS DEVICES
AND UNINTENTIONAL RADIATORS

This workshop provides an overview of the current changes to the standard C63.10 for unlicensed transmitter testing and the proposed changes to the standard C63.26 for licensed transmitter testing. In addition, there will be an overview of C63.30:2021 for wireless power transfer devices. There will be specific emphasis on new procedures. C63.10 and C63.26 capture most of the procedures for testing unlicensed and licensed wireless devices to show compliance with FCC and ISED Canada requirements. Group discussions will be a highlight of the wireless workshop. A demonstration will supplement the lecture material. The instructors are members of ANSC C63®; they have an intimate knowledge of the technology and contributed directly to the development of these procedures.
