ll those characteristics meet anticipated needs. Thus, it is most expedient to use MIL-STD-461E as the basic reference for establishing EMI requirements as shown in Figure E-1. The procedure then deviates, depending on whether the equipment is a military type or CI. If the latter, a complex evaluation process should be initiated. Guidance for such an evaluation is the subject of the EPS report.
