- (a)The power of any emission shall be attenuated below the transmitter power (P), as measured in accordance with § 24.132(f), in accordance with the following schedule:
- (1)For transmitters authorized a bandwidth greater than 10 kHz:
- (i)On any frequency outside the authorized bandwidth and removed from the edge of the authorized bandwidth by a displacement frequency (fd in kHz) of up to and including 40 kHz: at least 116 Log10 ((fd + 10)/6.1) decibels or 50 plus 10 Log10 (P) decibels or 70 decibels, whichever is the lesser attenuation;
- (ii)On any frequency outside the authorized bandwidth and removed from the edge of the authorized bandwidth by a displacement frequency (fd in kHz) of more than 40 kHz: at least 43 + 10 Log10 (P) decibels or 80 decibels, whichever is the lesser attenuation.
- (2)For transmitters authorized a bandwidth of 10 kHz:
- (i)On any frequency outside the authorized bandwidth and removed from the edge of the authorized bandwidth by a displacement frequency (fd in kHz) of up to and including 20 kHz: at least 116 × Log10 ((fd + 5)/3.05) decibels or 50 + 10 × Log10 (P) decibels or 70 decibels, whichever is the lesser attenuation;
- (ii)On any frequency outside the authorized bandwidth and removed from the edge of the authorized bandwidth by a displacement frequency (fd in kHz) of more than 20 kHz: at least 43 + 10 Log 10 (P) decibels or 80 decibels, whichever is the lesser attenuation.
- (1)For transmitters authorized a bandwidth greater than 10 kHz:
- (b)The measurements of emission power can be expressed in peak or average values provided they are expressed in the same parameters as the transmitter power.
- (c)When an emission outside of the authorized bandwidth causes harmful interference, the Commission may, at its discretion, require greater attenuation than specified in this section.
- (d)The following minimum spectrum analyzer resolution bandwidth settings will be used: 300 Hz when showing compliance with paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(2)(i) of this section; and 30 kHz when showing compliance with paragraphs (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(2)(ii) of this section.
