What frequency range does ISO 11452 cover?

ISO 11452 covers frequency ranges from 80 MHz to 18 GHz depending on the specific part, with different test methods for various frequency bands and electromagnetic field strengths.

How does ISO 11452 apply to motorcycle key systems?

ISO 11452 applies to motorcycle key systems by defining immunity test requirements for key fobs, immobilizer units, and electronic control modules to ensure they function correctly in electromagnetic environments.

What are the key test methods in ISO 11452?

Key test methods include stripline testing (Part 5), bulk current injection (Part 4), direct power injection (Part 6), and anechoic chamber testing (Part 11) for different frequency ranges and component types.
