S5.421 an S GHz except those provided for by No. S GHz except those provided for by No. S GHz ………………. ………………. caution: dirty tricks! unwanted emissions: consist of spurious emissions and out-of-band emissions we all know: there are unwanted emissions!
for WMO SG RFC: Hans Richner, IAC ETH, Zurich Active Protection of Passive Radio Services, Oct. 28/29, 2004, Cagliari out-of-band emissions: Emissions on a frequency or frequencies immediately outside the necessary bandwidth which results from the modulation process, but excluding spurious emissions spurious emissions: Emissions on a frequency or frequencies which are outside the necessary bandwidth and the level of which may be reduced without affecting the corresponding transmission of information. Spurious emissions include harmonic emissions, parasitic emissions, intermodulation products and frequencies and frequency conversion products, but exclude out-of-band emissions.
