Emission limits

The published limits this tool measures a prediction against. Every number below is read from the same file the analyzer uses, so there is no version of this page that can disagree with a report.

Conducted, at the mains port

FCC Part 15 Class B, conducted, quasi-peak

47 CFR 15.107(a) · quasi-peak detector

standard text
FrequencyLimit (dBuV)
150 kHz – 500 kHz66 → 56
500 kHz – 5 MHz56
5 MHz – 30 MHz60

A segment written 66 → 56 falls linearly with the logarithm of frequency. At the geometric mean of its endpoints the limit is therefore the arithmetic mean of the two levels — 61 dBµV at 0.274 MHz, not at 0.325.

At a band edge, the tighter limit applies

A frequency that falls exactly on the boundary between two segments belongs to both, and the stricter of the two governs. At 88 MHz exactly, FCC Class B is 40 dBµV/m (100 µV/m) and not 43.5. A clock harmonic landing on a band edge is a common way to be surprised by a test report.

Reading the units

Radiated limits are field strengths in µV/m, quoted here in dBµV/m as 20·log₁₀(µV/m). 100 µV/m is 40 dBµV/m. Conducted limits are voltages at the mains port in dBµV, measured across a 50 µH / 50 Ω line impedance stabilisation network.

Quasi-peak and average are different detectors, not different limits: a source has to pass both where both are given, and a broadband or low-repetition-rate source reads very differently on the two.

CISPR 32 / EN 55032 tables are not published here. That standard is sold rather than freely published, so the analyzer carries its limit values and clause numbers from cross-checked public sources and does not reproduce its text.
