Power Amplifiers harmonic emission measurement comparison using RE103 and CE106 methods

This paper presents the experimental analysis of the harmonic levels of a power amplifier system, the measurement is based on the two methods described in the MIL-STD-461, the CE106 conducted emissions and the RE103 radiated emissions methods. The objective is to make multiple analyses, mainly on the comparability of the two measurement methods results, but also the impact of the antennas, the modulation, or the performance related to the amplifier topology on the harmonics content level.
