Spurious emission limits


A table of maximum permitted spurious emission power levels is given in Appendix 3 of the ITU Radio Regulations.

The spurious emission limits are specified in the following reference bandwidths:

frequency intervalreference bandwidth
9 kHz - 150 kHz1 kHz
150 kHz - 30 MHz10 kHz
30 MHz - 1 GHz100 kHz
above 1 GHz1 MHz

For unlicensed short range devices, usually a measurement distance of 3 m is taken.
