ANSI C63.5™-2006 has recently been released
for sale. This updates the 2004 edition for the following reasons
contained in the introduction to the standard. In 2005, the C63™
committee received a request for an interpretation of clause 5.1
noting an apparent conflict with the associated flowchart in Annex
G (Figure G2). The issue revolved around the apparent confusion
of the process for antenna factor calibration for product testing
versus the calibration process when making test site attenuation
measurements and how it was shown in Figure G2. The clarification
and correct application of the calibration is contained in the
revised clause 5.1 and the revised Figure G2.
