§ 24.133   Emission limits.

   (a) The power of any emission shall be attenuated below the transmitter
   power (P), as measured in accordance with § 24.132(f), in accordance
   with the following schedule:

   (1) For transmitters authorized a bandwidth greater than 10 kHz:

   (i) On any frequency outside the authorized bandwidth and removed from
   the edge of the authorized bandwidth by a displacement frequency (fd in
   kHz) of up to and including 40 kHz: at least 116 Log10 ((fd+10)/6.1)
   decibels or 50 plus 10 Log10 (P) decibels or 70 decibels, whichever is
   the lesser attenuation;

   (ii) On any frequency outside the authorized bandwidth and removed from
   the edge of the authorized bandwidth by a displacement frequency (fd in
   kHz) of more than 40 kHz: at least 43+10 Log10 (P) decibels or 80
   decibels, whichever is the lesser attenuation.

   (2) For transmitters authorized a bandwidth of 10 kHz:

   (i) On any frequency outside the authorized bandwidth and removed from
   the edge of the authorized bandwidth by a displacement frequency (fd in
   kHz) of up to and including 20 kHz: at least 116 *Log10 ((fd+5)/3.05)
   decibels or 50+10 *Log10 (P) decibels or 70 decibels, whichever is the
   lesser attenuation;

   (ii) On any frequency outside the authorized bandwidth and removed from
   the edge of the authorized bandwidth by a displacement frequency (fd in
   kHz) of more than 20 kHz: at least 43+10 Log 10 (P) decibels or 80
   decibels, whichever is the lesser attenuation.

   (b) The measurements of emission power can be expressed in peak or
   average values provided they are expressed in the same parameters as
   the transmitter power.

   (c) When an emission outside of the authorized bandwidth causes harmful
   interference, the Commission may, at its discretion, require greater
   attenuation than specified in this section.

   (d) The following minimum spectrum analyzer resolution bandwidth
   settings will be used: 300 Hz when showing compliance with paragraphs
   (a)(1)(i) and (a)(2)(i) of this section; and 30 kHz when showing
   compliance with paragraphs (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(2)(ii) of this section.
