Abstract
Spurious emissions of wireless devices, intentional radiators, deteriorate the equipment performance and interfere with other services and equipment. In this presentation, the broad impact of high frequency spurious emissions from wireless devices on low power and high power equipment are discussed first. After a brief review of the regulatory requirements on spurious emissions of licensed wireless equipment, how to measure both the conducted and radiated spurious emissions is addressed. Finally the suppression techniques of spurious emissions are presented.
