The RE101 measurement as described by the MIL-STD, is just a normal emission measurement, with a specifically described loop sensor antenna.
For this Loop sensor antenna, the correction data is often well known, and provided by the manufacturer of the antenna. This correction data is expressed as dBpT above dBuV. The correction factor provided by the manufacturer thus only has to be added to the dBuV reading from the measurement receiver.
In RadiMation this can be configured by creating a correction file, which contains a 'Frequency' and a 'Correction' column. Then specify the frequencies and correction values in the correction file, where the correction values are expressed in dBpT/uV.
Once this Magnetic field antenna factor correction file is saved, selected it as the third correction file in the antenna device driver settings.

In the Radiated Emission Multiband test, the correct testsite (containing the previously configured antenna) should be selected. And to indicate that a Magnetic Field test should be performed, it is also important to select 'Magnetic Field Antenna' for the location type.

When this test is started, the emission measurement values will be shown in the result as dBpT.
