3.1.4 ElectroMagnetic Compatibility (EMC) - EN 301 489-1

The following criteria applies for the test per the standard for EMC emissions and immunity.

Table 3-4 EMC Emissions and Immunity Performance Criteria
CriterionDuring TestAfter Test
AOperate as intended. No loss of function. No unintentional responsesOperate as intended. No loss of function. No degradation of performance. No loss of stored data or user programmable functions.
BMay show loss of function. No unintentional responsesOperate as intended. Lost functions shall be self-recoverable. No degradation of performance. No loss of stored data or user programmable functions.

The following clauses under EN 301 489-1 are applicable to the TI IWR6843 / MMWAVEICBOOST Evaluation Module combo, since the equipment required DC power and is not a telecomunication equipment some of the tests do not apply. Users must determine which test is applicable to their end equipment.
