5.2 Test Method
The initial preliminary exploratory scans were performed over the frequency range as indicated in the
tables below using the max hold function and incorporating a Peak detector and using TILE! software.
The final test data was measured using a Quasi-Peak detector below 1GHz and a Peak detector above
1GHz. For harmonics of the fundamental, Average measurements were made by correcting the peak
value with the duty cycle correction factor. For emissions other than harmonics of the fundamental, the
Average measurements were made using the Average detector. The receivers resolution bandwidth was
set to 120 kHz for measurements taken in the 30MHz to 1GHz frequency range and 1MHz for
measurements for 1GHz and higher. Measurements were made with the antenna positioned in both the
horizontal and vertical planes of polarization. The antenna height was varied from 1 m to 2.5 m and the
EUT was rotated 360° to find the maximum emitting point for each frequency. The radiated
measurements were recorded and compared to the limits indicated in the table below.
There is a limit on spurious emissions produced by an intentional radiator in any 100 kHz Bandwidth
outside the intentional emission band of -20dBc provided the radiator complies with the limits specified
in 15.205© and 15.209(a).

Test distance:
        30 MHz to 1 GHz - The EUT to measurement antenna distance is 3 meters
        1 to 18 GHz - The EUT to measurement antenna distance is 3 meters
        18 to 40 GHz - The EUT to measurement antenna distance is 1 meter

6.2 Test Method
With the receiver’s resolution bandwidth was set to 9 kHz, exploratory scans were performed over the
measuring frequency range (0.15 MHz to 30 MHz) using a max hold mode incorporating a Peak detector
and Average detector and using the TILE! software. The final test data was measured using a Quasi-
Peak detector and Average detector and compared against the limits indicated in the table below.
