The power density levels associated with these emissions were typically low relative to the applicable emissions limit (e.g., Part 15.109), but were nonetheless in excess of the UWB emission limits by as much as 27.5 dB (more than 500 times greater). Stated another way, each of the devices measured complies with the applicable emission limits in the frequency bands under examination; however, if they were subjected to the emission limits for UWB, most of the devices examined would fail a

For example, some of the parties filing comments on the NOI felt that emission limits should be based on the unintentional emission limits for digital devices contained in Section 15.109 of our Rules, with a possible adjustment of the quantitative limit. Above 1 GHz, this rule limits average field strength emissions to 150 uV/m at a distance of 10 meters measured over a bandwidth of 1 MHz.

The rules limiting such unintentional emissions from RF devices, including receivers, are set forth in our rules at Section 15.107 (power line conducted emissions), 47 C.F.R. � 15.107 and Section 15.109 (radiated emissions), 47 C.F.R. � 15.109. Certain receivers, such as broadcast television receivers and ``cable ready''/``cable compatible'' receivers are also subject to minimum performance requirements for internally generated noise (``noise figure'') and sensitivity, and in the case of ``cable ready''/``cable compatible'' receivers, adjacent channel, image channel, direct pickup, and tuner overload performance.
