Rather than argue over the correct spectral mask, defer to regulatory bodies. Proposed Change –Delete Section 16.1.5.6 from the d3 draft standard and remove all references to it Recommended Resolution –Accept

The frequency interval shall be equal to 1.5 x R, where R is the symbol rate, expressed in units of hertz. Out-of-channel power shall be measured at two offset frequencies relative to the carrier frequency. The offset frequencies M1 and M2 are defined as follows: M1 = 1.5 x R x (1+h) where –h is the modulation index for 2-level modulation and three times the modulation index for 4-level modulation M2 = 3 x R x (1+h) The transmit spectral content at M1 and M2 shall be less than –25 dB and –35 dB, respectively. The modulated signal shall use a PN data pattern of 511 bits or longer. The spectrum analyzer settings for this measurement shall be as follows: the resolution bandwidth is 1 kHz, the video bandwidth is 1 kHz or greater, and the detector is RMS
