Ed Price asked: Since the FCC says "eirp" density, the I assume that means that the signal is to be measured as it radiates from the EUT. (The EUT has a separate discrete antenna, connected to the EUT by a length of coax cable.) Am I correct that I can't measure the "eirp" density by looking into the coax cable; that I have to do a measurement of the radiated field?
Ed, Reasoning from ignorance here (grin) but if you measure the EUT output emissions, you start with "shall not exceed -80 dBW/MHz in the 15591610 MHz band averaged over any 2 millisecond active transmission interval." Subtracting antenna gain dBi, adding coax and conector losses, you end up with the reqiurement at the antenna port. I'd think you would have to use 1 MHz RBW, peak detection, linear mode, and a video filter setting of (2ms^-1) or 500 Hz to accomplish the 2msec averaging and reference to dB/MHz. ISTR that measurement above 1 GHz have to be made at 1 MHz RBW unless otherwise specified.
