101.111 Emission limitations.

(5) When using transmissions employing digital modulation techniques on the 900 MHz multiple
address frequencies with a 12.5 kHz bandwidth, the power of any emission must be attenuated
below the unmodulated carrier power of the transmitter (P) in accordance with the following
schedule:

   (i) On any frequency removed from the center of the authorized bandwidth by a displacement
frequency (fd in kHz) of more than 2.5 kHz up to and including 6.25 kHz: At least 53 log10
(fd/2.5) decibels;

   (ii) On any frequency removed from the center of the authorized bandwidth by a displacement
frequency (fd in kHz) of more than 6.25 kHz up to and including 9.5 kHz: At least 103 log10
(fd/3.9) decibels;

   (iii) On any frequency removed from the center of the authorized bandwidth by a displacement
frequency (fd in kHz) of more than 9.5 kHz up to and including 15 kHz: At least 157 log10
(fd/5.3) decibels; and

   (iv) On any frequency removed from the center of the authorized bandwidth by a displacement
frequency greater than 15 kHz: At least 50 plus 10 log10(P) or 70 decibels, whichever is the
lesser attenuation.
