Project overview, data management
Project publishable summary (version August 2023)
The publishable summary is a document that explains the key future of the project. It covers the need for the project, its objectives, its key technical outcomes, and the wider impact for society.
Data management plan (version May 2024)
The purpose of the data management is to ensure that researchers can find, access, and re-use each other's data (FAIR principles, see https://www.go-fair.org/fair-principles/), thus maximising the effectiveness and reproducibility of the research undertaken. It describes the datasets to be collected in the project and it discusses their organisation and curation.

D5: Report recommending an amendment of Annex B and Annex C of the current CISPR 16-1-1 standard detailing results on the calibration of the measuring receiver and the reference pulse generator along with practical recommendations on the calibration of pulse generators and the measurement uncertainty evaluation (October 2024, https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15074279)
D6: Report on the new alternative reference waveform with a commercial arbitrary waveform generator for calibration of measuring receivers to include a well-defined mathematical description and spectral properties for inclusion in standards as a means of validating the weighting function of the detectors and capable of reducing the uncertainty of the receiver's response to pulses calibration to 0.2 dB. This report will include a comparison with the traditional pulse generator calibration method.

Software
LISN Impedance and Uncertainty Calculation Tool v2.4 (This is a software solution to calculate the theoretical nominal AMN impedance values for a given AMN circuit and the corresponding uncertainty contribution by using the magnitude & phase information in accordance with CISPR 16-4-2. The method was described in the paper available at https://zenodo.org/records/14511967)
