American standards
FCC Part 15 regulates unlicensed radio-frequency transmissions, both intentional and unintentional.
FCC Part 15 Subpart A contains a general provision that "devices may not cause interference and must
accept interference from other sources."
FCC Part 15 Subpart B US limits and methods of measurement of radio disturbance, measuring radio
waves accidentally emitted from devices not specifically designed to emit radio waves
("unintentional"), both directly ("radiated") and indirectly ("conducted")
The rest of FCC Part 15 (subparts C through H) deal with unlicensed devices specifically designed to
emit radio waves ("intentional"), such as wireless LAN, cordless telephones, low-power broadcasting,
walkie-talkies, etc.
Conducted emissions are regulated from 150 kHz to 30 MHz, and radiated emissions are regulated
from 30 MHz and up.
MIL-STD 461 is a US Military Standard addressing EMC for subsystem and components. Currently in
revision F, it covers Conducted and Radiated Emissions and Susceptibility.
MIL-STD 464 is a US Military Standard addressing EMC for systems. Currently in revision F, it covers
Conducted and Radiated Emissions and Susceptibility.
MIL-STD-469, MILITARY STANDARD:This standard establishes the engineering interface requirements to
control the electromagnetic emission and susceptibility characteristics of all new military radar equipment
and systems operating between 100 megahertz (MHz) and 100 gigahertz (GHz).
