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.

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!
