Do you need to look at non-fundamental, non-harmonic emissions as well? There will be such emissions as well. Some will be visible with the source in CW mode, but there will be others that appear only during frequency hopping. These latter emissions are harder to find since their frequencies are not known well. They can appear in band or out of the band of operation. The techniques described in other postings still apply.

Is it practical to automatically measure (using a swept scan EMI receiver) emissions from such a device? I would think that when using spread spectrum and a swept scan receiver, the receiver has some large probability of missing the emissions caused by a particular harmonic when using swept scanning systems. The limit for CE106 (transmitters) is derived from the power of the fundamental (there is no fundamental, only a band of operation), how do you measure that power on the EMI receiver? Does anyone have any experience/advice they would be willing to part with? Thanks Aaron Low ps. I am relatively new to this field, so my question may seem very basic to many of you; please excuse me.
