This gets a bit more complicated for FCC regulations on emissions above 1 GHz, where the prescribed detector is an average detector (at 1 MHz RBW) and the peak limit is defined as 20 dB above that.

That is what I expected you meant, but a bit confusing based on the original topic.  You are certainly correct with respect to conducted emissions!

I was thinking conducted emissions in the context of average detectors.

Could you clarify when you would choose to use an average detector for radiated emissions between 30 and 1000 MHz?

    Does this CISPR measurement methods standard expect you to record
    the six highest signals which are less than or equal to -20dB wrt
    the *average limit* when using an*average detector *and the*QP
    limit *when using a*QP detector*? Perhaps that is made clear in
    the product-specific standard (like EN55022 or CISPR 11, etc)

    Comments?

    Hello PSES brain trust,

    When doing radiated emissions measurements, how many frequencies
    should be quasi-peaked?

    CISPR 16-2-3 clause 6.4.9 states:

    /“Of those disturbances above (L-20dB), where L is the limit
    level in logarithmic units, the disturbance levels and the
    frequencies of at least the six highest disturbances shall be
    recorded.”/

    We have always done QP measurements on all peak measurements
    above the limit, even if that is more than six points.

    I have a lab arguing that they only need to measure the top six,
    regardless of how many peak measurements are above the limit.

    Any thoughts are appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Mark
