Hello All FCC part 18 requires the use of an Average detector. For measurements above 1GHz on a HP8593E EMC (Spectrum) analyser, would using a Video Average of 100 or more be equivalent to taking a measurement with an Average detector?
It has been suggested to me by a test house that this is the case, but I have not managed to find any rationale for this. The setup for the Analyser in question during the measurent was as follows if this helps: SPAN = 2GHz, RBW =1MHz, VBW = 3MHz, SWEEP =40ms Many thanks.
