See also Picture 1 and 2 for a description of the setup. The GeoScope unit was connected through a shielded Ethernet cable to a PC placed approximately 10 m from the test area. The measurements were performed with the stepping frequency function in the EUT active. Picture 1. Schematic illustration of the EUT setup.

Ref No Page EMC-Osd-13-0283-01 8(31) 4 Test site 4.1 Description The measurements were all performed on a weather protected open area test site (OATS) that was modified with a flat sand bed located in the ground plane. The depth of the sand bed was more than 0.5 m. The EUT was positioned on the sand bed with no ground plane beneath. At frequencies below 960 MHz the measurement distance from the antenna to the EUT was 3 m. The measurement receiver and related equipment, such as a PC and equipment for remote control, were placed next to the test site approximately 10 m from the antenna. At frequencies above 960 MHz the measurement distance from the antenna to the EUT was 1 m. The measurement receiver and a preamplifier were placed next to the measurement antenna while other related equipment was placed next to the site. 4.2 Ambient signals A number of ambient signals were frequently detected in the different frequency ranges where measurements were made, see table below. Additionally, many signals of short- term duration were found. Each measurement signal close to or above the limit was examined if ambient or related to the EUT.

The EUT was configured and the test was performed in accordance with ANSI C63.4. The test was initiated with a pre-scan with peak detector in the frequency range 30 MHz to 960 MHz. The emission level was measured in 64 different combinations of 16 EUT angle positions plus vertical and horizontal polarisation and two antenna heights. For each position the EUT was turned manually. The antenna height was changed in two steps at 1.0 m and 2.5 m. A measurement software was used to add antenna factors and cable attenuation and to form a composite trace of the peak field strength. EUT positions and frequencies with the highest emission were selected based on the pre- scan. EUT angle, antenna height and antenna polarisation were thereafter adjusted in order to find the highest emission level. The antenna height was changed between 1 m and 4 m. At these maximized positions quasi peak values were measured.

Ref No Page EMC-Osd-13-0283-01 15(31) The emission was measured with an RMS detector in the frequency range 960 MHz to 18 GHz. The number of sweep points for the whole frequency range was 34 080 and the total sweep time was 34 s. Thus the dwell time was 1 ms. The following resolution bandwidths, video bandwidths and sweep times were used during the measurements.

Measurement setup. Measurements were performed with the EUT rotated in 16 different positions on the sand bed and with two antenna polarizations resulting in a total of 32 sweeps. Measurement software was used to add antenna factors and cable attenuation and the resulting maximum field strength level were plotted. After the sweeps field strength levels above the limit were checked manually due to the high number of ambient signals.

Ref No Page EMC-Osd-13-0283-01 24(31) 5.3 Measurement of UWB bandwidth and peak emissions 5.3.1 Requirements and definitions according to FCC and IC 5.3.1.1 Definitions according to FCC 15.503 (d) and IC RSS-220 UWB bandwidth: The frequency band bounded by the points that are 10 dB below the highest radiated emission, as based on the complete transmission system including the antenna. The upper boundary is designated fH and the lower boundary is designated fL. The frequency at which the highest radiated emission occurs is designated fM. Center frequency (fC): Equals (fH + fL)/2. Fractional bandwidth: Equals 2(fH - fL) / (fH + fL). Ultra-wideband (UWB) transmitter/device: An intentional radiator that, at any point in time, has a fractional bandwidth equal to or greater than 0.20 or has a UWB bandwidth equal to or greater than 500 MHz, regardless of the fractional bandwidth. 5.3.1.2 Requirements according to FCC 15.509 (a) and IC RSS-220 (6.2.1) The UWB bandwidth of an imaging system operating under the provisions of this section must be below 10.6 GHz. 5.3.1.3 Requirements according to FCC 15.509 (f) and IC RSS-220 (6.2.1) For UWB devices where the frequency at which the highest radiated emission occurs, fM is above 960 MHz, there is a limit on the peak level of the emissions contained within a 50 MHz bandwidth centred on fM. The limit is 0 dBm EIRP. It is acceptable to employ a different resolution bandwidth and a correspondingly different peak emission limit, following the procedures described in FCC 15.521 and in the Annex of IC RS-220. 5.3.2 Requirements according to FCC Waiver DA 12-41, dated January 11, 2012 Measurements of emissions from the radar device shall be conducted with the stepping function active. The radar device shall not be sold in any hand-held configurations. The radar device shall comply with all other technical and operational requirements applicable to UWB GPR devices under Part 15, Subpart F of the Commission’s rules.

Ref No Page EMC-Osd-13-0283-01 25(31) The device shall operate with stepped frequency modulation in 2 MHz steps between 140 MHz and 3 GHz with a scan/cycle rate of approximately 3 ms. The system may not use any single frequency longer than 2 µs in any 3 ms period of time. 5.3.3 Procedures The setup was made so that the EUT antenna was tilted and pointing directly towards the measurement antenna. The measuring distance was 3 m. To determine the spectrum parameters measurements were performed with peak detector with 1 MHz bandwidth. If fM was above 960 MHz, an additional peak detector was used during the measurements described in Section 5.2. Measurements were performed at 1 m distance and with a measurement bandwidth of 1 MHz. The limit (0 dBm EIRP at 3 m and 50 MHz measurement bandwidth) was recalculated according to: E (dBµV/m) = 0 + 95.2 + 20log(1MHz/50MHz) + 9.5 = 70.7. Measurement software added antenna factors and cable attenuation. Picture 5. Measurement setup, 30 MHz – 1 GHz.

Measurement setup, 1 GHz – 4 GHz. 5.3.4 Environmental conditions Temperature (inside test facility): 14 to 20 C 5.3.5 Results Results are valid for the described arrangement and operation of the tested EUT. The EUT fulfilled the definition of an UWB transmitter according to FCC 15.503 (d) and IC RSS-220. The EUT complied with the requirement in FCC 15.509 (a, f) and IC RSS- 220 (6.2.1). The EUT also fulfils the requirements of pulse parameters in the FCC Waiver DA 12-41, dated January 11, 2012. The requirements that the radar device not shall be sold in any hand-held configurations, and that the device shall operate with stepped frequency modulation in 2 MHz steps, were confirmed by manufacturer statement, but were not verified by measurements.

Ref No Page EMC-Osd-13-0283-01 27(31) UWB definition Measurement data is presented in diagrams below. From the diagrams data regarding the UWB bandwidth was gathered and calculated. Frequency of highest emission fM 770.8 MHz Lower boundary fL 286.8 MHz Upper boundary fH 1583 MHz Centre frequency fC 934.9 MHz Fractional bandwidth 1.39 Emission at fM The frequency of highest emission (fM) was 770.8 MHz, which is below 960 MHz. Thus, there is no requirement for the emission at fM measured with peak detector over 50 MHz bandwidth. Pulse parameters The pulse parameters were measured with the receiver in zero span at 1301 MHz. Pulse repetition time 3.4 ms Pulse length 1.9 µs
