Note:
 2.4G is the 2.4GHz Band (2.4-2.4835GHz).
 11b mode uses a combination of DSSS-DBPSK, DQPSK, CCK modulation.
 11g, HT20 and HT40 use a combination of OFDM-BPSK, QPSK, 16QAM, 64QAM modulation.
 VHT20, VHT40 use a combination of OFDM-BPSK, QPSK, 16QAM, 64QAM, 256QAM, 1024QAM
      modulation.
 BWch is the nominal channel bandwidth.
 Nss-Min is the minimum number of spatial streams.
 Nant is the number of outputs. e.g., 2(2,3) means have 2 outputs for port 2 and port 3. 2 means have 2
      outputs for port 1 and port 2.

                               If EUT consist of multiple antenna assembly (multiple antenna are used in EUT
                               regardless of spatial multiplexing MIMO configuration), the radiated test should
                               be performed with highest antenna gain of each antenna type.
Operating Mode < 1GHz Normal Link
The EUT for Emissions in Restricted Frequency Bands test was performed at Z axis and Y axis position and
the worst case was found from Z axis. So the measurement will follow this same test configuration.

Note 1: Test distance for frequencies at or above 30 MHz, measurements may be performed at a distance
        other than the limit distance provided they are not performed in the near field and the emissions to
        be measured can be detected by the measurement equipment. When performing measurements at
        a distance other than that specified, the results shall be extrapolated to the specified distance using
        an extrapolation factor of 20 dB/decade (inverse of linear distance for field-strength measurements,
        inverse of linear distance-squared for power-density measurements).
Note 2: Test distance for frequencies at below 30 MHz, measurements may be performed at a distance
        closer than the EUT limit distance; however, an attempt should be made to avoid making
        measurements in the near field. When performing measurements below 30 MHz at a closer distance
        than the limit distance, the results shall be extrapolated to the specified distance by either making
        measurements at a minimum of two or more distances on at least one radial to determine the proper
        extrapolation factor or by using the square of an inverse linear distance extrapolation factor (40
        dB/decade). The test report shall specify the extrapolation method used to determine compliance of
        the EUT.
Note 3: Using the distance of 1m during the test for above 18 GHz, and the test value to correct for the
        distance factor at 3m.

2.1.3       Test Procedures
                                                 Test Method
    The average emission levels shall be measured in [duty cycle ≥ 98 or duty factor].
    Refer as ANSI C63.10, clause 6.9.2.2 band-edge testing shall be performed at the lowest frequency
     channel and highest frequency channel within the allowed operating band.
    For the transmitter unwanted emissions shall be measured using following options below:
           Refer as FCC KDB 558074, clause 12 for unwanted emissions into restricted bands.
                Refer as FCC KDB 558074, clause 12.2.5.1 Option 1 (trace averaging for duty cycle ≥98%)
                Refer as FCC KDB 558074, clause 12.2.5.2 Option 2 (trace averaging + duty factor).
                Refer as FCC KDB 558074, clause 12.2.5.3 Option 3 (Reduced VBW≥1/T).
                Refer as ANSI C63.10, clause 4.2.3.2.3 (Reduced VBW). VBW ≥ 1/T, where T is pulse time.
                Refer as ANSI C63.10, clause 4.2.3.2.4 average value of pulsed emissions.
                Refer as FCC KDB 558074, clause 12.2.4 measurement procedure peak limit.
    For the transmitter band-edge emissions shall be measured using following options below:
           Refer as FCC KDB 558074 clause 13.1, When the performing peak or average radiated
            measurements, emissions within 2 MHz of the authorized band edge may be measured using the
            marker-delta method described below.
           Refer as FCC KDB 558074, clause 13.2 (ANSI C63.10, clause 6.9.3) for marker-delta method for
            band-edge measurements.
           Refer as FCC KDB 558074, clause 13.3 for narrower resolution bandwidth (100kHz) using the
            band power and summing the spectral levels (i.e., 1 MHz).
    For conducted and cabinet radiation measurement, refer as FCC KDB 558074, clause 12.2.2.
           For conducted unwanted emissions into restricted bands (absolute emission limits).
            Devices with multiple transmit chains using options given below:
            (1) Measure and sum the spectra across the outputs or
            (2) Measure and add 10 log(N) dB
           For FCC KDB 662911 The methodology described here may overestimate array gain, thereby
            resulting in apparent failures to satisfy the out-of-band limits even if the device is actually
            compliant. In such cases, compliance may be demonstrated by performing radiated tests around
            the frequencies at which the apparent failures occurred.
