Spurious Signals over the Air
A spurious signal test can be performed by keying up the transmitter over the air and observing the
spectrum using a Spectrum Analyzer with an antenna on the input port as shown in Figure 6-5.
On the Spectrum Analyzer, attenuate the incoming RF signal so that the RF carrier does not extend
beyond the range of the display on the Spectrum Analyzer (this will overdrive the receiver of the analyzer
causing erroneous spurs to be shown in the spectrum).
Look at the spectrum and ensure there are no large spurs being generated by the radio system.
