Special Test Considerations
Cable and adapter mismatch must be considered when
measuring harmonics and spurious emissions of a trans-
mitter. If an external attenuator is used, special care must
be taken to ensure the attenuator is not causing any spuri-
ous or harmonic emission. Also, if spurious emissions are
located, verify that the transmitter is the source, and not
another object radiated emissions near the test site
