I'd like to thank all those who replied so far.

According to MIL-STD-462D:

4.9.2 Operating frequencies for spread spectrum equipment.
Operating frequency requirements for two major types of spread spectrum
equipment shall be as
                follows:
        a. Frequency hopping. Measurements shall be performed with the EUT
utilizing a hop set
                which contains a minimum of 30% of the total possible
frequencies. This hop set shall
                be divided equally into three segments at the low, mid, and
high end of the EUT's
                operational frequency range.
        b. Direct sequence. Measurements shall be performed with the EUT
processing data at the
                highest possible data transfer rate.

Can I interpret this section to mean that when scanning for emissions,
standard MIL-STD scanning methods apply?

Subject: antenna port conducted emissions



Folks,

I am interested in your opinions regarding antenna port conducted emissions
(MIL-STD-461D CE106) on a spread spectrum/frequency hopping device.

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.
