FM Band Transmitter Specs - RF Cafe Forums

RF Cafe Forums closed its virtual doors in late 2012 mainly due to other social media platforms dominating public commenting venues. RF Cafe Forums began sometime around August of 2003 and was quite well-attended for many years. By 2012, Facebook and Twitter were overwhelmingly dominating online personal interaction, and RF Cafe Forums activity dropped off precipitously. Regardless, there are still lots of great posts in the archive that ware worth looking at. Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts. Here is the full original RF Cafe Forums on Archive.org

Sorry for posting in multiple places, but I need this in a hurry.

Does anyone know exactly what FCC spec governs the output of an FM transmitter? My application is for low power (<1 W), and in fact will be covered by Part 15. However, I want to know the real specification limits for THD, frequency accuracy, L-R channel separation, S/N, etc.

I have spent a couple hours searching the web and the FCC website but CANNOT find it!!! :(

Thanks a lot guys (and gals, if applicable :wink: ).

I believe this is what you're looking for.

Radio and Television Broadcast Rules 47 CFR Part 73

Look in Subpart B.

Good luck.
