4.1 (U) Glossary
The definitions of terms given in this Glossary are specifically for use in this standard. In case of conflict between definitions herein and those in reference documents, the definitions herein govern.

A
(U) Ambient Level or Signal
Ambient levels may be classified into two categories:
a. Test Environment Ambient Level: Those levels of radiated and conducted signals and noise existing at a specified test location and time when only the equipment under test is inoperative. Atmospherics, interference from other sources, and circuit noise or other interference generated within the detection system compose the "test environment ambient level".
b. Equipment-Under-Test Ambient Level: Radiated and conducted emanations that originate in the equipment under test and which are not compromising emanations.

(U) Amplitude Modulation
Modulation in which the amplitude of a cw signal (carrier) is varied in accordance with a modulating signal.

(U) Analog Signal
A signal having no quantized parameters (e.g., amplitude, envelope, phase or frequency).

(U) Antenna Factor
A factor (usually in decibels) which, when added to the voltage at the input terminals of the measuring instruments, yields the electric or magnetic field strength in the vicinity of the antenna.

(U) Antenna Gain
The ratio of the power radiated by an antenna in a given direction to the power radiated in the same direction by an isotropic radiator, keeping the input power constant. Thus it is a measure of how well the antenna concentrates its radiated power in a given direction.

B
(U) Bit Rate
A general term used to express the transmission rate of digital signals. For purposes of this document it is defined as being numerically equal to the reciprocal of the duration in seconds of the shortest unit interval of the signal. It is expressed in bits per second (b/s). For telegraphic signal codes the term "baud" is synonymous with "bit per second".

(U) BLACK Line
A term used to designate all lines of the equipment under test, including power lines, which do not carry intentional RED signals. This definition is only for purposes of this standard and does not necessarily indicate the future use of the particular line.

(U) BLACK Signal
Any signal (e.g., control signal. clock or enciphered signal) which could not divulge classified information if recovered and analyzed by an unauthorized interceptor.

(U) Bond
A continuous low-impedance electrical path between conducting materials for d.c. and RF signals.

(U) Broad-band Detection System
A system specifically chosen to maximize detection sensitivity to emanations contained in a relatively broadband of frequencies (e.g., impulses or aperiodic signals).

(U) Correlated Emanation
A detected emanation which has a causal relationship with any signal or process of known characteristics. Correlated emanations may be compromising under the definition of "Compromising emanation".

(U) Cryptographic Equipment
Any equipment employing cryptotechniques or containing cryptographic circuitry or logic.

[1 line redacted.]

(S) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
[1 line redacted.]

(U) Dry Line
An interface line of the equipment under test, which does not normally carry a signal or from which the normal signal has been removed. This condition may be intentionally induced to prevent masking effects of normal signal voltages by disabling the signal source.

E
(U) Effective Radiated Power (ERP)
A measure of the power being radiated by an antenna as given by: ERP = Power transmitted X Gain of transmitting antenna.

(U) Emanation or Emission
Electromagnetic or acoustic energy propagated from a source by radiation or conduction.

(U) Encipher
To convert plaintext into unintelligible form by means of a cipher system.

(U) Equipment Under Test (EUT)
[1 line redacted.]

F
(U) Final Key
The symbol or signal which is combined with text to produce cipher or vice versa.

(U) Frequency Modulation
Angle modulation of a cw signal in which the instantaneous frequency of the modulated signal differs from the unmodulated frequency by an amount proportional to the instantaneous amplitude of the modulating signal.

G
(U) Ground Loop
A path through which currents (e.g., RF currents) may flow from any starting point or source witnin an equipment or test setup through the equipment or test setup and back to the starting point. They are often undesirable since they may cause erroneous test results.

(U) Ground Plane
A metal sheet or plate used for circuit returns and a common reference point for electrical signal potentials.

H
(S) HIJACK [2 lines redacted.]

I
(U) Impulse
A mathematically idealized model of a pulse of short duration relative to the smallest time constant of the circuit to which the pulse is applied. The idealization is made by regarding such a pulse as having infinitesimal width, infinite height and a finite area equal to the area of the pulse being so described. In the frequency domain the ideal impulse is characterized by a uniform single-sided amplitude-density spectrum equal in magnitude to twice the area of the impulse.

(U) Impulse Strength
A measure, having dimensions of amplitude per unit bandwidth, of the amplitude-density spectrum of an impulse.
Note: In this document, impulse strength is measured in units of microvolts per megahertz (equivalent r.m.s. sinewave), which cause impulse strength to be numerically equal to 0.707 times the magnitude of the amplitude density spectrum which is specified in microvolts per megahertz (peak).

(U) Initial Fill
The sequence of binary digits used to initialize the state of a shift register in a cryptographic equipment.

K
(U) Key

M
(U ) Masking
The loss of signal detection or analysis capability due to the presence of other higher energy signals or noise.

(U) Minimum Discernible Signal (MDS)
A measure of detection system sensitivity which describes the minimum input signal required to provide a discernible signal at the output of the detection system. Some of the factors which affect minimum discernible signal (MDS) are sweep speed of scope, repetition rate of the impulse generator when used as a substitution source, use of the raster generator and the ability of the observer to distinguish between the desired signal and the noise background.

(U) Monitor
The reference signal to which detected emanations are compared for determining correlation to plaintext. The monitor is usually a RED signal.

N
(U) Narrowband Detection System
A system specifically chosen to maximize detection sensitivity to emanations contained in a relatively narrowband of frequencies.

(U) Narrowband Emanation or Emission
Any emanation or ambient signal detected with a narrowband tunable or narrowband nontunable detection system.

(S) NONSTOP (U)
[2 lines redacted.]

S
(U) Sensitivity
The level of the cw signal, which, when applied to the input of the detection system, produces an output signal plus noise-to-noise ratio of 3 dB at the output of the detection system (predetection output for receivers).

(U) Shape Factor
The ratio of the 60 dB bandwidth to the 6 dB bandwidth of the frequency response of a detection system.

A method employed in TEMPEST testing of cryptographic equipments to facilitate identification of key-correlated emanations. The equipment is modified to generate a repetitive key.

(U) Signaling Rate
A general term used to express either the transmission rate of digital signals or the spectral content of analog signals. The units are bits per second for digital signals in serial format, repetitions per second for clock signals and Hertz for analog signals.

a. (S) The requirements of this standard are based primarily on the data rate of any RED signal which could conceivably cause an EUT NONSTOP problem.
b.(S) The signaling rate [2 lines redacted] shall be listed. The signaling rate of analog signals shall be determined by the highest required frequency component contained in the signal and shall be expressed in Hertz. The signaling rate of RED digital signals conveying information in serial and parallel format shall be determined by the reciprocal of the duration in seconds of the shortest unit interval and shall be expressed ib bits per second and parallel information units per second respectively. The signaling rate af cipher signals is determined by the number of information units (ONEs and ZEROs) transmitted per second and shall be expressed in bits per second. The signaling rate of clock signals is determined by the reciprocal of the period in seconds and shall be expressed in repetitions per second.
c.(S) For [AM] ^STET [brackets and STET by hand] xxxxxxxxxx RED signaling rates as identified in (b) above shall be separated into categories as specified in Table 1 Appendex B. The test category applicable to an equipment processing RED data at only one signaling rate is the category in which the signaling rate appears. If more than one RED signal is being generated, processed or passed simultaneously, tests for emanations correlated to these RED signals shall be performed in each category in which the RED signal appears. If two or more RED signals appear in the same category, the test criteria for the highest RED signaling rate within that category shall be used to search for emanations correlated to all RED signals within the category. If the signaling rate of any of the RED signals is variable, such as would be found in multi-speed equipment, and the operating range is contained within one test category, the highest signaling rate shall be used to determine the test criteria for that particular RED signal. If the operating range of the RED signal covers more than one test category, tests shall be performed in the categories containing the highest and the lowest signaling rates. When searching for [one line redacted].
d. (U) For FM tests, test categories do not apply, and only the RED signaling rate need be specified. The signaling rates for FM tests shall be determined as in the AM paragraph above, to allow consistency in test procedures. This is done even though, as mentioned, FM tests are not categorized. It should be pointed out that not only does the signaling rate determine FM test criteria, but also determines applicable limits directly, and not through categories as in the above AM case.

6.2 (U) Instrumentation Requirements.
The detection systems and signal measurement equipment shall meet the performance requirements and operating characteristics specified herein. Measurements of sensitivity and bandwidth shall be performed as specified.
6.2.1 (S) Detection Systems
(S) This standard requires two basic types of detection systems: AM and FM, and xxxxxxxxxxxx which consists of a [1 line redacted]. All systems shall have a 50-ohm input impedance with the exception of electric radiation antenna interface amplifiers, which may be high impedance. Systems shall be selected that meet the frequency range and bandwidths required f or RED signaling rate(s). Systems selected shall meet the inpropriate sensitivity requirement.
6.2.1.1 (U) Sensitivity Requirements.
6.2.1.1.1 (U) Sensitivity Requirements for Conducted Tests.
The sensitivity for all detection systems shall be equal to or below the appropriate conduction limits specified. Correction and conversion factors shall be added where applicable.
6.2.1.1.2 (U) Sensitivity Requirements for Electric Radiation Tests
If electric radiation tests are to be performed, the sensitivity of the AM and FM detection systems shall be equal to or below the sensitivities shown in Figures 1 through 4 . The FM sensitivities must be corrected for tuned frequency by using Figure 5. Proceed as follows.
a. Locate the tuned frequency and the corresponding correction factor in Figure 5, and add this to the carrier level scale in Figure 3 or 4, whichever is applicable. This now gives the FM curves f or the particular tuned frequency. When measured signals have to be compared to sensitivities, rather than generating a curve for each tuned frequency, an equivalent method follows:
b. At a particular tuned frequency, measure the sensitivity and record the carrier level and deviation. Locate the tuned frequency and the corresponding correction factor in Figure 5 and subtract this from the carrier level measured. Now, subtract 10 log (R_n or R_b) from this number and locate this on the scale in either Figure 3 or Figure 4, whichever is applicable. The deviation measured can now be compared to the sensitivity requirement.

6.2.1.2 (U) Sensitivity Measurements, AM Detection Systems.
The sensitivity for AM detection systems shall meet the requirements of paragraph 6.2.1.1.
6.2.1.2.1(U) Narrowband Sensitivity Measurements, AM Detection Systems.
a. All sensitivity measurements made with narrowband AM detection systems shall be made with standard signal generators, which are the required calibrated narrowband measurement Standard Narrowband sensitivity is determined by measuring the level of the cw signal which, when applied to the input of the detection system, produces a signal plus noise-to-noise ratio of 3 dB prior to any demodulation (cw sensitivity).
b . Three methods are specified for the signal substitution procedures. Method 1 requires a calibrated unmodulated carrier on the substitution signal, and is applicable when measuring the cw sensitivity at the predetection output of tunable detection systems and at the output of nontunable derection systems. Methods 2 and 3 are indirect methods of measuring sensitivity (defined at the predetection output) at the postcetection output of tunable detection systems. Method 2 requires a calibrated sinewave carrier modulated at 30% by 400 Hz or 1000 Hz sinewave as the substitution signal, and applicable when measuring the cw sensitivity at the a.c. or d.c. coupled postdetection output. Method 3 is applicable when measuring the cw sensitivity at the d.c. coupled postdetection output possessing technical limitations which prevent the use of a sinewave carrier modulated by a 400 Hz sinewave. The required substitution signal for Method 3 is a calibrated unmodulated carrier.
Method 1: CW Sensitivity Measurements, Tunable Detection System Without Demodulator and Nontunable Detection System. Measurements shall be made using a calibrated, unmodulated sinewave substitution source. A true r.m.s. a.c. voltmeter of sufficient bandwidth (frequency response extending both below and above the detection system response) shall be connected at the predetection output of the tunable detection system or output of the nontunable detection system. The controls on the detection system shall be adjusted to establish a convenient reading of detection system noise on the output voltmeter. The calibrated source, with the cw frequency equivalent to the center frequency of the detection system, shall then be applied to the detection system input. The substitution source amplitude controls shall be adjusted to produce a reading on the output true r.m.s. a.c. voltmeter 3 dB higher than the reading of detection system noise (signal plus noise-to-noise ratio of 3 dB). The level of the sinewave source output (expressed in dBµV r.m.s.), plus any appropriate conversion and correction factors, is the cw sensitivity.
Method 2: CW Sensitivity Measurements, Tunable Detection System With Demodulator. Measurements shall be made using a calibrated sinewave carrier modulated at 30% by a 400 Hz (or 1000 Hz) sinewave. A true r.m.s. a.c. voltmeter and an oscilloscope of sufficient bandwidth (larger than the detection system bandwidth) shall be connected at the postdetection output (a.c.- or d.c.- coupled) of the detection system. The calibrated source with the carrier frequency equivalent to the center frequency of the tuned detection system, shall then be applied to the detection system input. Maintaining a modulation index of 30%, the carrier amplitude of the signal substitution source shall be adjusted to produce an undistorted 400 Hz (or 1000 Hz) waveform on the oscilloscope display, relatively free of noise. Note the reading on the true r.m.s. voltmeter at the postdetection output (output signal plus noise). Maintaining the same carrier amplitude of the signal substitution source, set the modulation index to 0%. Note the reading on the true r.m.s. voltmeter at the postdetection output (detected noise due to cw input signal). Compute the detected signal plus noise-to-detected noise ratio (ratio of first voltmeter reading to second voltmeter reading) in decibels. For accurate measurements, this computed value should be at least 10 dB. The level of the sinewave source output (expressed in dBµV r.m.s.), plus any appropriate conversion and correction factors, minus the above computer detected signal plus noise-to-detected noise ratio in decibels, minus 10.4 dB, is the cw sensitivity.
Method 3. CW Sensitivity Measurements, Tunable Detection System with Demodulator (d.c.-coupled output): Technical Limitations Preventing the Use of a Sinewave Carrier Modulated by a 400 Hz Sinewave as a Substitution Signal. Measurements shall be made using a calibrated, unmodulated sinewave substitution source. A true r.m.s. a.c. voltmeter of sufficient bandwidth (larger than the detection system bandwidth) and a d.c. millivoltmeter shall be connected at the postdetection output (d.c.-coupled) of the detection system. The calibrated source with the cw frequency equivalent to the center frequency of the tuned detection system shall then be applied to the detection system input. The substitution source amplitude controls shall be adjusted to produce a reading on the dc millivoltmeter approximately equal to four times the reading an the true r.m.s. a.c. voltmeter at the postdetection output (i.e., output signal d.c.) to noise (a.c.) ratio approximately equal to four). Compute the actual output signal (d.c.)-to-noise(a.c.) ratio in decibels. The level of the sinewave source output (expressed in dBµV r.m.s.) plus any appropriate conversion and correlation factors, minus the above computed output signal (d.c.)-to-noise (a.c.) ratio in decibels plus 3 dB, is the cw sensitivity.

6.2.1.2.2 (U) Broadband Sensitivity Measurements, AM Detection Systems.
Sensitivity of broadband tunable and broadband nontunable AM detection systems shall be computed by determining the cw sensitivity and converting to broadband sensitivity using the impulse bandwidth (IBW) of the detection system. Method 1 is used for tunable detection systems without demodulation.
Method 2 is used for tunable detection systems with a demodulator. Method 3 is used for nontunable detection systems.

b. Determine the impulse bandwidth as outlined in 6.2.1.8.2. Express IBW in decibels referenced to MHz: i.e.,
IBW_db = 20 log₁₀ IBW (in MHz)
c. The broadband sensitivity, expressed in dB/µV/MHz (equivalent r.m.s. sinewave), is equal to the cw sensitivity decibels, minus the impulse bandwidth in decibels, minus 3dB.

6.2.1.3 (U) Sensitivity Measurements, FM Detection System.
The FM sensitivity is the minimum deviation necessary, at a designated carrier power level, to produce a 0 dB signal-to-noise ratio at the postdetection FM output. Since this deviation varies drastically with signal level, the measurement should be made at various signal levels to always include the maximum allowable level of the FM detection system. The signal source needed is an FM generator. The following procedure applies:
a. Set the signal level of the FM generator to the desired value.
b. Note the r.m.s. voltmeter reading at the postdetection output.
c. Increase the deviation until the voltmeter reading increases 3 dB. This deviation reading is then the minimum deviation for the selected signal input level.

a. The amount of amplitude modulation shall he calibrated with respect to the r.m.s. voltage of the modulating signal in accordance with 6.2.2.1.2.

f. The ambient noise of the AM generator output shall not restrict the detection system in complying with the sensitivity requirements in 6.2.1.1.

A plot depicting the AM r.m.s. sideband level as the ordinate and the modulating signal r.m.s. voltage as the abscissa shall be derived. (The extension of the straight line must pass through this origin.) If the peak amplitude variation (with a sinewave modulating signal) can he determined, the AM r.m.s. sideband level is found by dividing the peak amplitude variation by 2.
Note: If the transfer curve is dependent upon the AM generator output power level, the AM generator shall be calibrated for each RF carrier power to he used in the AM tests.

6.2.2.2 (U) FM Generators.
6.2.2.2.1 (U) Requirements.
A frequency modulated RF source shall be used to make narrowband FM measurements and to ensure that the FM detection systems comply with the sensitivity requirements in 6.2.1.1. The FM generator shall conform to the following requirements:
a. The amount of frequency modulation shall be calibrated with respect to the r.m.s. voltage of the modulating signal in accordance with 6.2.2.2.2.

6.2.2.2.2 (U) Calibration.
The relationship between the modulating signal r.m.s. voltage and the r.m.s. frequency deviation shall be determined. A plot depicting the r.m.s. frequency deviation as the ordinate and the modulating signal r.m.s. voltage as the abscissa shall be derived. (The extension of the straight line must pass through the origin.) If the peak frequency deviation (with a sinewave modulating signal) can be determined, the r.m.s. frequency deviation is found by dividing the peak frequency deviation by 2. A suggested method of calibrating an FM generator involves taking advantage of the carrier and sideband nulls by observation on a spectrum analyzer. In order to obtain the peak frequency deviation per unit of modulating signal r.m.s. voltage, the modulating frequency should be held constant and the amplitude varied from zero. Whenever the carrier or a particular pair of sideoands are nulled out, e.g., disappear as observed on the spectrum analyzer, a modulation r.m.s. voltage measurement is made. It is also necessary to observe the number of nulled sidebands and the number of times that particular sideband (or carrier) has been nulled as the modulating voltage varies. With this information and using a table of Bessel zero's, the deviation can be obtained. The number from the Bessel zero's table must be multiplied by the modulating frequency to obtain the peak frequency deviation for a particular modulating signal r.m.s. voltage. The transfer curve of r.m.s. frequency deviation vs. modulating signal r.m.s. voltage can thus be derived.

Radio interference field intensity receivers are satisfactory for this purpose if their impulse bandwidth is at least five times the repetition rate of the impulse generator. Any automatic gain control (AGC) system shall he disabled and the AGC line firmly referred to ground with a low-impedance voltage source of appropriate value.
b. Obtain an oscilloscope pattern of the overall receiver response at the IF output. The oscilloscope controls shall be so adjusted that the pattern is as large as possible within the calibrated area on the face plate. Either photograph or trace the pattern.

c. Use a planimeter or other integrating device to determine the area of the positive portion of the major lobe of the response waveform. (More accuracy can be obtained by summing the area under the odd-numbered lobes and subtracting from it the total area under the even-numbered lobes.) This operation shall he carried out at least five times and the average of the readings taken as the area.
d. Calculate the impulse bandwidth of the receiver in accordance with the following formula:

IBW in MHz = Pattern height* in cm X10ⁿ ^{[exponential is blurred]

________________________________________________}

(Pattern area * in cm^/2)(sweep speed in sec/cm)

*Refers only to positive portion of response waveform.
e . Connect a calibrated sinewave generator to the receiver. Tune the generator to the receiver's tuned frequency and adjust the output until the peak pattern height is the same as that obtained with the impulse generator in pars. a. and b. Record the output of the sinewave generator in microvolts (r.m.s.).
f. Calculate 20 log1₀ (e/d) where e and d are the results obtained in pars. e. and d. above expressed in microvolts (r.m.s.) and megahertz (MHz) respectively. This calculation gives the spectral intensity of the impulse generator output in dBµV/MHz (equivalent r.m.s. sinewave).

Method 2:
a. Select a bandpass or low-pass filter with the following characteristics:
(1) Minimum upper roll-off of 18 dB/octave.
(2) Maximum upper 3 dB cutoff point which is 10% of the reciprocal of the width of the driving impulse (from the IG to the calibrated) or 80% of the bandpass of the oscilloscope in use whichever is less.
(3) Passband wide enough to permit passage of sufficient energy so that the peak voltage of the output waveform can he accurately read on the oscilloscope.
(4) 50-ohm input and output impedance in the passband.

b. Determine the impulse bandwidth (IBW) of the filter employing the procedures specified in Method 1 above, pars. a. through d., substituting the word "filter" for "receiver". (Once the IBW of the filter has been measured, the filter may be used to calibrate any number of IGs; however, the IBW shall be rechecked in accordance with 6.2.2.3.2.
c. Terminate the output of the IG to be calibrated with a 6-db (minimum), 50-ohm pad and connect it to the input of the filter.
d. Terminate the output of the filter with a 50-ohm resistive load and connect it to the vertical input of the oscilloscope.
e. Record the peak voltage of the filter output on the oscilloscope in microvolts.
f. Calculate:
20 log₁₀ (e/b) + Pad Loss -3 dB + Filter Insertion Loss where e and b are the results obtained in pars. e. and b. above expressed in microvolts (r.m.s. ) and megaHertz respectively. This calculation gives the spectral intensity of the impulse generator output in dBµV/MHz (equivalent r.m.s. sinewave).

Method 3:
a. Apply the output of the impulse generator to be calibrated to the input of a spectrum analyzer having the following characteristics:
(1) Known impulse bandwidths.
(2) Absolute amplitude accuracy equal to or better than +2 dB.

b. Select a spectrum analyzer bandwidth which is at least five times the repetition rate of the impulse generator but no larger than one-tenth the usable spectrum of the impulse generator. Select a scan time in seconds/division no less than 10/repetition rate (Hz) to ensure ten impulse responses per division.
c. Add any conversion factors to the spectrum analyzer displayed voltage needed to convert dBm to dBµV. Subtract the impulse bandwidth of the spectrum analyzer in decibels with reference to 1 MHz to this value to convert to dBµV/MHz and subtract 3 dB to convert the reading to dBµV/MHz (equivalent r.m.s. sinewave) which is the spectral intensity of the impulse generator output.

Method 4:
Compare the output of the IG to be calibrated with the output of another IG which has previously been calibrated in accordance with Method 1 or Method 2 within the last six months.

b. Make necessary repairs and adjustments.
c. Request the authority sponsoring the test to determine the necessity for rerun of affected tests.

6.3 (U) Test Environment.
6.3.1 (U) Laboratory Test Requirements.
In those cases where it is feasible to perform NONSTOP testing in a shielded enclosure, the following paragraphs shall apply.
6.3.1.1 (U) Test Chamber.
(S) The test chamber shall be a shielded enclosure which shall provide the necessary attenuation to protect the test instrumentation xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx in the case of conducted tests and to prevent extraneous signals from limiting detection system sensitivity.
6.3.1.2 (U) Ground Plane.
The ground plane shall consist of a solid copper or brass plate that has a minimum thickness of 0.25 mm for copper or 0.63 mm for brass and is 2.25 square meters or larger in area, with the small side no less than 76 cm in length.

For large equipment mounted on a metal test stand, the test stand shall be considered a part of the ground plane for testing purposes and shall he bonded accordingly.
6.3.1.3 (U) Ambient Signal Control, Test Setup.
After the test setup has been determined and before formal testing of the EUT has begun, the ambient signals originating from the test setup shall be evaluated by performing a tunable ER test on the EUT. The tests shall be performed with only the EUT deenergized. All necessary test instrumentation and associated EUT exciser equipment shall be connected and operated normally. The ER measurements shall be made in one of the planes or polarizations of the antenna that will be used during EUT tests. The tests shall be performed over the narrowband and broadband tunable frequency ranges which are to be used during EUT tests. Ambient signals detected during these evaluations cannot be attributed to the EUT and therefore shall be reduced to a level equal to or below the appropriate limits at all test frequencies.
Note: If the requirements of this paragraph are met, it follows that those of 6.2.1.1 are also met. However, if the tester chooses to combine the tests, he must he cautioned that it may be difficult to distinguish between facility ambient signals and test setup ambient signals, and much time may be wasted in locating and eliminating the source of bothersome signals.
Conduction ambient levels shall be determined with the EUT deenergized. Both the narrowband and broadband ambient measurements shall be performed over the designated frequency range.

6.3.2 (U) Controlled Environment Test Requirements.
Where laboratory tests are impossible due to size and/or power limitations, the system may be tested at a location meeting the requirements for ambient levels. The ambient levels at the location chosen to perform testing must be no greater than those specified in Figure 13.
Note: The ambient level requirements are normalized to a 1 kHz bandwidth measurement.
6.3.3 (U) Site Test Requirements.
Ambient noise levels at site locations required to undergo NONSTOP testing cannot, for the most part, be controlled. Many interfering signals may result from equipment operating within the site to be tested or from local interference from other sources. Therefore, it is advisable that testing be performed during those periods of the day that will have the lowest ambient noise levels in order to enhance detection capabilities.

7. (S) Test Requirements

(S) This paragraph establishes the criteria for a NONSTOP xxxxxxxxxxxxxx evaluation in accordance with the test procedures specified herein. Refer to Tables 2 thru 4 for flow diagrams of these requirements. There are two tests, conduction and electric radiation, which can be performed. For testing xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx only conduction tests and limits are specified. When electric radiation tests are performed, the xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx with the requirements of this document. Conduction tests, on the other hand, may be treated in two ways. The conduction test result can be used to determine compliance with this standard, or as an indication for performing electric radiation tests. In this way, the option is given to perform ER tests to determine if the xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx during conduction testing, or to accept the conduction test results.
7.1 (S) Test Locations and Applicable Limits.
(S) There are three test locations at which NONSTOP tests could be performed. Testing can be performed in the laboratory (open space or shielded enclosure) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. If this is not possible, a quiet area can be found and testing under a controlled environment can be performed. The last type of test is the on-site test, xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx in its installation and must be tested at this location.
7.1.1 (S) Laboratory Tests.
(S) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx tests can be performed. For laboratory testing, the conduction tests specified in 7.8 apply. Limits for the conduction tests are given in 7.10.1. Electric Radiation tests are not recommended to be performed in a shielded enclosure. However, a controlled environment ER test can be used to verify conduction test results. [1 line redacted.]
7.1.2 (S) Controlled Environment Tests.
7.1.2.1. (S) Electric Radiation Tests.
(S) In many cases, systems may be too large to test in a laboratory. Under these conbitions, or because electric radiation tests are specified, a controlled environment test can be performed. This type of testing requires a quiet location in terms of environmental noise. The ambient noise at the selected test location must be no greater than that specified in Figure 13. The electric radiation xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx are specified in 7.9. The applicable electric radiation limits are given in 7.10.2.
7.1.2.2. (S) Conduction Tests.
There may be cases where conduction tests are desired, but the system is too large to test in a laboratory. For these cases, a controlled environment test can be performed in the sense that at the chosen test location the test instrumentation sensitivity must be no greater than the applicable conduction limits specified in 7.10.1. The sensitivity measurements should be made when the EUT is not energized. This type of test allows conduction tests to be performed outside of a laboratory environment but does not require the location ambient to meet any specifications. The conduction tests required are specified in 7.8.

7.1.3. (S) Site Tests.
(S) A site test is necessary xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx at its particular installation and hence must be tested at this location. Either conduction tests or electric radiation tests may be performed. If conduction tests are performed, the test requirements are given in 7.8 and the applicable limits are specified in 7.10.1.1. Electric Radiation tests are specified in 7.9 and 7.9.2. The electric radiation limits for site testing are given in 7.10.3.

7.2. (S) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
(S) NONSTOP tests are not significantly different from TEMPEST tests xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. It should be pointed out that this can cause testing difficultly in some cases. For example, to [4 lines redacted.]

How and where this internal modification shall be performed will be specified by the contract and/or approved by the contracting agency.
7.3.3. (S) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
(S) Whenever the xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx is not being tested, xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx shall be disabled* to prevent the [1 line redacted].
*Note: In some cases, this is not advisable due to the loss of bias on many xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.

7.4. (S) Test Frequency Range
(S) The appropriate test frequency range is highly dependent upon many equipment parameters, and although limits are given from 10 kHz xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and 100 MHz to xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx a search of this entire range may not be necessary. Obviously, the test range should include the xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, but the range that should be covered xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx frequency depends upon many parameters. [1 line redacted.] The lower bound on the test frequency may also be a function of the bandwidth used in testing. Because of the many parameters involved, it is very difficult to so specify a meaningful test frequency without causing unnecessary testing in many cases. For these reasons, the, test frequency range shall be specified by the contracting authority or responsible testing organization.

All emanations shall be meastred using the signal substitution method. Calibration source substitution shall he made at a point that requires the calibration signal to follow the same signal path and pass through the same devices as the detected emanation. Deviation from this procedure is permitted only when an accurately precalibrated device (e.g., antenna and associated matching device) preceded the point of signal substitution.
