Spurious emission

Last updated

In radio communication, a spurious emission is any component of a radiated radio frequency signal, the complete suppression of which, would not impair the integrity of the modulation type, or the information being transmitted. [1] A radiated signal outside of a transmitter's assigned channel is an example of a spurious emission. [2] Spurious emissions can include harmonic emissions, intermodulation products and frequency conversion products. [3]
