RADIATED EMISSIONS LIMIT FCC Part 15 Subpart B, Class B §15.109 (a) Except for Class A digital devices, the field strength of radiated emissions from unintentional radiators at a distance of 3 meters shall not exceed the following values: Limits for radiated disturbance of Class B ITE at measuring distance of 3 m Frequency range Quasi-peak limits (MHz) (dBµV/m) 30 to 88 40 88 to 216 43.5 216 to 960 46 Above 960 MHz 54 Note: The lower limit shall apply at the transition frequency. TEST PROCEDURE ANSI C63.4 The highest clock frequency generated or used in the EUT is 320 MHz, therefore the frequency range was investigated from 30 MHz to 2 GHz according to the following table, although measured to 18,000 MHz. All measurements were made at a 3 m test distance. Where 10 m limits are specified, a 10.5 dB distance correction factor was applied as seen in the results tables.
