Note(s):

1. The peak level was compared to the average limit as opposed to being compared to the peak limit
   because this is the more onerous limit.
2. Emissions shown on the plots may be at a much higher level than those shown in the tables due to the
   amplification of the carriers by the test system preamp. The final measurements were made with the use
   of filters and attenuators.

6. Measurement Uncertainty
No measurement or test can ever be perfect and the imperfections give rise to error of
measurement in the results. Consequently the result of a measurement is only an approximation
to the value of the measurand (the specific quantity subject to measurement) and is only complete
when accompanied by a statement of the uncertainty of the approximation.
The expression of uncertainty of a measurement result allows realistic comparison of results with
reference values and limits given in specifications and standards.
The uncertainty of the result may need to be taken into account when interpreting the
measurement results.
The reported expanded uncertainties below are based on a standard uncertainty multiplied by an
appropriate coverage factor such that a confidence level of approximately 95% is maintained. For
the purposes of this document “approximately” is interpreted as meaning “effectively” or “for most
practical purposes”.

                                                                          Confidence      Calculated
Measurement Type                            Range
                                                                           Level (%)      Uncertainty
Occupied Bandwidth                          None Specified                95%            ±0.12 %
Radiated Spurious Emissions                 9 kHz to 30 MHz               95%             ±3.53 dB
Radiated Spurious Emissions                 30 MHz to 10 GHz              95%             ±2.94 dB

The methods used to calculate the above uncertainties are in line with those recommended within
the various measurement specifications. Where measurement specifications do not include
guidelines for the evaluation of measurement uncertainty the published guidance of the appropriate
accreditation body is followed.
