3.3     Technical information

Operating frequency                        125 kHz (fixed)
Modulation type                            Continuous wave
Occupied bandwidth (99 %)                  663 Hz
Emission designator                        N0N
Power requirements                         12 VDC from motorcycle battery
Antenna information                        The EUT uses a non-detachable coil antenna to the intentional radiator



3.4     Product description and theory of operation

The Digitally Encoded Security System (DESS) is powered by a 12 VDC battery.
It is connected to a key switch barrel (antenna) and communicates with an Engine Control Module (ECM).
The base station communicates with a key having a transponder at 125 kHz.
Depending if the key inserted in the barrel is authenticated or not, it gives a digital signal (via a Dallas protocol) to the ECM. The ECM will then permit the
ignition of the engine. The RFID communication is occurring only at key on and shuts down after authentication.



3.5     EUT exercise details

The EUT’s software was modified to transmit continuously once powered.

4.1     Modifications incorporated in the EUT

There were no modifications performed to the EUT during this assessment.



4.2     Technical judgment

Class I permissive change was made to the EUT by introducing internal RC circuit at the antenna output and removing external ferrite ring and removing
extension of the antenna cable.



4.3     Deviations from laboratory tests procedures

No deviations were made from laboratory procedures.

6.1     Uncertainty of measurement

Nemko Canada Inc. has calculated measurement uncertainty and is documented in EMC/MUC/001 “Uncertainty in EMC measurements.” Measurement
uncertainty was calculated using the methods described in CISPR 16-4 Specification for radio disturbance and immunity measuring apparatus and methods –
Part 4: Uncertainty in EMC measurements; as well as described in UKAS LAB34: The expression of Uncertainty in EMC Testing. Measurement uncertainty
calculations assume a coverage factor of K=2 with 95% certainty.

8.1      FCC 15.215(c) Emission bandwidth and RSS Gen 4.6.1 Occupied bandwidth


 8.1.1      Definitions and limits

Part 15.215(c)
Intentional radiators operating under the alternative provisions to the general emission limits, as contained in §§15.217 through 15.257 and in Subpart E of
this part, must be designed to ensure that the 20 dB bandwidth of the emission, or whatever bandwidth may otherwise be specified in the specific rule
section under which the equipment operates, is contained within the frequency band designated in the rule section under which the equipment is
operated. The requirement to contain the designated bandwidth of the emission within the specified frequency band includes the effects from frequency
sweeping, frequency hopping and other modulation techniques that may be employed as well as the frequency stability of the transmitter over expected
variations in temperature and supply voltage. If a frequency stability is not specified in the regulations, it is recommended that the fundamental emission
be kept within at least the central 80 % of the permitted band in order to minimize the possibility of out-of-band operation.
RSS-Gen Clause 4.6.1 Occupied bandwidth
When an occupied bandwidth value is not specified in the applicable RSS, the transmitted signal bandwidth to be reported is to be its 99 percent emission
bandwidth, as calculated or measured.
The transmitter shall be operated at its maximum carrier power measured under normal test conditions.
The span of the analyzer shall be set to capture all products of the modulation process, including the emission skirts. The resolution bandwidth shall be set
to as close to 1 percent of the selected span as is possible without being below 1 percent. The video bandwidth shall be set to 3 times the resolution
bandwidth. Video averaging is not permitted. Where practical, a sampling detector shall be used since a peak or, peak hold, may produce a wider
bandwidth than actual.
The trace data points are recovered and are directly summed in linear terms. The recovered amplitude data points, beginning at the lowest frequency, are
placed in a running sum until 0.5 percent of the total is reached and that frequency recorded. The process is repeated for the highest frequency data points.
This frequency is recorded.
The span between the two recorded frequencies is the occupied bandwidth.

 8.2.1      Definitions and limits

FCC:
(a) Except as provided elsewhere in this subpart, the emissions from an intentional radiator shall not exceed the field strength levels specified in the following
table.

IC:
Spurious emissions from licence-exempt transmitters shall comply with the field strength limits shown below. Additionally, the level of any transmitter
spurious emission shall not exceed the level of the transmitter's fundamental emission.

 8.2.3      Observations, settings and special notes

The spectrum was searched from 20 kHz to 1 GHz.
Radiated measurements were performed at a distance of 3 m.
Fundamental limit calculation: 67.6 – 20 × log10 (F) = 67.6 – 20 × log10 (125) = 67.6 – 41.9 = 25.7 dBµV/m at 300 m.
300 m to 3 m distance correction factor for frequencies below 30 MHz is 40 × log10 (300 / 3) = 80 dB.
Fundamental limit at 3 m = Fundamental limit at 300 m + distance correction factor = 25.7 + 80 = 105.7 dBµV/m at 3 m

Spectrum analyser settings for radiated measurements below 30 MHz:
