32、he test installation are shown by Figs. 1 and 2. 2.2 Calibration The calibration consists of the determination of a relatioiiship between the input voltage from the signal generator to the test line and the field produced at the position chosen for the loop. The relationship is the line constant K.

33、K (meters) = E/F (1) Alternative methods of known reliability may be employed. This method fails at higher frequencies due to standing-wave effects in the shielded room and parasitic impedance in the measuring circuits. The method can be extended to higher frequencies by taking these effects into account. but such corrections are not described in this standard. Fig. 2-Terminating resistance for test line.
