And now for something completely different, a question on the applicability of Method RE102. Paragraph 5.16.1, RE102 Applicability, reads: "This requirement is applicable for radiated emissions from equipment and subsystem enclosures, all interconnecting cables, and antennas designed to be permanently mounted to the EUTs (receivers and transmitters in standby mode)." I normally test a transmitter by operating it, with modulation, into a dummy load placed directly onto its RF output port. My rationale is that the transmitter and modulator circuits will load the power supply, and exercise data paths, that could well cause emissions at frequencies far removed from the fundamental. So what is that parenthetical phrase trying to say? The more I stare at it, the more I want to reach for an eraser.
