The FCC uses a bandwidth of 1.0 MHz for frequencies above 1.0 GHz, see Part 15, 15.35(b). I do not believe that there is a stated CISPR bandwidth above a gig.

Heller/US-Corporate/3M/US) 12/06/2001 Subject: Stepping receiver, step sizes. 07:17 AM Please respond to Scott.Mee Hello Group! I would like to ask a question regarding EMI Receiver step sizes in the higher frequency range. We are performing radiated emissions testing in a semi-anechoic chamber using an EMI receiver. We plan to cover a high frequency range between 1 and 5 GHz (a large spanse to cover!). I would like to know what practical step size (ie. 8kHz or 20kHz or 80kHz) I could choose for such a wide range and keep: 1. The data accurate, meaning that I wouldn't be "missing" or stepping around energy by taking to large of a step. 2. Keep the amount of data I'm collecting to a reasonable amount so that I may process it (apply correction factors for antenna, cable loss, pre-amplifier). My question comes up primarily because I haven't found any specifications that require things like minimum scan time, maximum step size, or the like. Is anyone aware of a specification out there that covers this, or have any information/personal experience that could help me make a determination? Thanks for any help in advance!
