2.1   Justification.

As load, a system with a driving control and motor was applied to drive the wheel. The performance could be
monitored on a smartphone.
The justification and manipulation of cables and equipment in order to simulate a worst-case behavior of the test
setup has been carried out as prescribed in ANSI C63.10-2013.

2.2   EUT mode of operation.

The EUT has been tested in continues transmit mode with a modulated carrier. The intentional radiator tests have
been performed with a complete functioning EUT.

A continuous transmit mode could be initiated by using test software as supplied by the applicant. The test software
was used to define various different operational modes of the EUT for the purpose of compliance testing. The
version of the test software, as supplied by the applicant and used during all tests is:

Test software    : nRFTools 51422 v1.0.0

Batch files programmed by the applicant are used to make the required settings.

3     Radiated emission data.
RESULT: PASS

Date of testing:                                    2016-04-05

Frequency range:                                    30MHz - 25GHz




Requirements:
FCC 15.205, FCC 15.209, FCC 15.249 and IC RSS-Gen(8.9, 8.10) and RSS-210(A2.5)
Radiated emissions which fall in the restricted bands, as defined in FCC 15.205(a), must comply with the radiated
emission limits specified in FCC 15.209(a).
Radiated emissions which fall outside the operation frequency band and outside restricted bands shall either meet
the limit specified in FCC 15.209(a)/ RSS-Gen (8.8) or be attenuated at least 20dB below the power level in the
100kHz bandwidth within the band that contains the highest level of the desired power (the less severe limit
applies).




Test procedure:
ANSI C63.10-2013.

The EUT is considered as floor-standing equipment not typically installed with its base in direct electrical contact
with, or connected to, a metal floor or grid. The EUT was placed on the floor with insulation material in-between of
4mm thickness to prevent electric contact.
Before final measurements of radiated emissions were performed, the EUT was scanned to determine its emission
spectrum profile. The physical arrangement of the test system, the associated cabling were varied in order to
ensure that maximum emission amplitudes were attained.
The spectrum was examined from 30MHz to the 10th harmonic of the highest fundamental transmitter frequency
(25GHz). Final radiated emission measurements were made at 3m distance.
At each frequency where a spurious emission was found, the EUT was rotated 360° and the antenna was raised
and lowered from 1 to 4m in order to determine the emission’s maximum level. Measurements were taken using
both horizontal and vertical antenna polarizations.
The highest emission amplitudes relative to the appropriate limit were recorded in this report. Field strength values
of radiated emissions at frequencies not listed in the tables are more than 20 dB below the applicable limit. The
levels are expressed in dBm which are derived from dBm = E(dBμV/m) – 95.2dB. Where Peak (Pk) values where
at least 6 dB under the Average (Av) limits, Av value was not tested. Were Average values were tested, Average
values were measured using a 10Hz Video Bandwidth.

                  Table 1 Radiated emissions of the EUT in the frequency range 30 MHz – 1 GHz.

The results of the radiated emission tests, carried out in accordance with 47 CFR Part 15 section 15.209, 15.249
and RSS-210 Section A2.9 and RSS-Gen section 8.9 with the EUT operating in continues transmit mode are
depicted in Table 1.

Notes:

    1. Field strength values of radiated emissions at frequencies not listed in the table above are more than 20 dB
       below the applicable limit. The 6 highest values are noted
    2. Measurement uncertainty is 5.0dB
    3. The reported field strength values are the worst case values at the indicated frequency. The EUT was
       varied in 2 positions (horizontal and vertical) because of it’s physical limitations, the antenna was varied in
       horizontal and vertical orientations and also in height (between 1m and 4m).
    4. Preliminary measurements indicated that the radiated emissions from EUT were not affected by the EUT’s
       operating mode or frequency.
    5. A Quasi-peak detector was used with a resolution bandwidth of 120 kHz.

The results of the radiated emission tests, carried out in accordance with 47 CFR Part 15 section 15.209 and
15.249 and RSS-210 section A2.9 and RSS-Gen section 8.9 with the EUT operating in continues transmit mode
are depicted in Tables 2 through 5.

Notes:

    1. Field strength values of radiated emissions at frequencies not listed in the table above are more than 20 dB
       below the applicable limit.
    2. Measurement uncertainty is 5.0dB
    3. The reported field strength values are the worst case values at the indicated frequency. The EUT was
       varied in 2 positions, the antenna was varied in horizontal and vertical orientations and also in height
       (between 1m and 4m).
    4. The EUT was tested on the lowest frequency (2402 MHz), a middle frequency (2440 MHz) and the highest
       frequency (2480 MHz) in the 2402 – 2480 MHz band wherein it operates and the normal operation with
       both transmitters (ANT and BLE) active, although they never transmit simultaneously.
    5. Peak values were within Average limits, therefor not retested with Average detector,

4       AC Powerline Conducted Emission Data.
4.1 AC Power Line Conducted Emission data of the EUT


RESULT: Pass

Date of testing:                                           2016-04-18


Requirements: for equipment that is designed to be connected to the public utility (AC) power line, the
radio frequency voltage that is conducted back onto the AC power line on any frequency or frequencies
within the band 150 kHz to 30 MHz shall not exceed the limits in the following table, as measured using
a 50 μH/50 ohms line impedance stabilization network (LISN). Compliance with the provisions of this
paragraph shall be based on the measurement of the radio frequency voltage between each power line
and ground at the power terminal. The lower limit applies at the band edges.

*Decreases with the logarithm of the frequency.



Test procedure:
ANSI C63.10-2013.

Each phase and neutral of the AC power line were measured with respect to ground. Measurements
were performed using a 50 µH / 50 Ω LISN. The frequency range from 150kHz to 30MHz was searched.
The six highest EUT emissions relative to the limit were noted. The EUT is considered a floor-standing
device. The EUT is placed on a non-conductive plate of 5mm thick above the ground plane, so to isolate
it from the ground plane because the EUT normally does not make electrical contact with a ground
plane. The EUT was positioned at least 80cm from the LISN. The power cable was routed over the non-
conductive plate to the LISN.
