Abstract: An apparatus and method are described for transmitting a signal within a predetermined spectral mask defining a range of power density limits across a frequency range. A signal source provides an input signal to a low-pass filter, which filters the input signal to produce a filtered signal. The filter is selectively operable in a first mode in which the input signal is filtered within a narrower bandwidth, and in a second mode in which the input signal is filtered within a broader bandwidth. The filtered signal is output to a modulator, which modulates the filtered signal to produce a modulated signal. The modulated signal is output to a transmitter, which transmits the modulated signal.
