Controlling Transmitter Spurious Emissions
Radio transmitters are a particular problem in dealing with EMI because they normally produce relatively large amounts of radio-frequency energy. If other devices respond to it inappropriately, then an EMI situation exists. It’s not always the transmitter’s fault, of course. The rule is simple: an electronic device must respond to the desired signals, and not respond to undesired signals. It’s that second part that’s a bit difficult.
