§  2.1057   Frequency spectrum to be investigated.

   (a) In all of the measurements set forth in § §  2.1051 and 2.1053, the
   spectrum shall be investigated from the lowest radio frequency signal
   generated in the equipment, without going below 9 kHz, up to at least
   the frequency shown below:

   (1) If the equipment operates below 10 GHz: to the tenth harmonic of
   the highest fundamental frequency or to 40 GHz, whichever is lower.

   (2) If the equipment operates at or above 10 GHz and below 30 GHz: to
   the fifth harmonic of the highest fundamental frequency or to 100 GHz,
   whichever is lower.

   (3) If the equipment operates at or above 30 GHz: to the fifth harmonic
   of the highest fundamental frequency or to 200 GHz, whichever is lower.

   (b) Particular attention should be paid to harmonics and subharmonics
   of the carrier frequency as well as to those frequencies removed from
   the carrier by multiples of the oscillator frequency. Radiation at the
   frequencies of multiplier stages should also be checked.

   (c) The amplitude of spurious emissions which are attenuated more than
   20 dB below the permissible value need not be reported.

   (d) Unless otherwise specified, measurements above 40 GHz shall be
   performed using a minimum resolution bandwidth of 1 MHz.
