used for the assessment of the radio
product, use of an antenna not included in
the original assessment and not following
the installation instructions for the radio
product.
Multi-radio
In cases of more than one
transmitter operating at the same
time then a re-assessment of the
spurious emissions and
consideration of potential effects of
intermodulation should be
performed.
