P = power input to the antenna (in appropriate units, e.g., mW);
G = power gain of the antenna in the direction of interest relative to an isotropic radiator, the power gain
factor, is normally numeric gain;
R = distance to the center of radiation of the antenna (appropriate units, e.g., cm);

Bay Area Compliance Laboratories Corp. (Shenzhen) Report No.: RSZ180928002-00A

FCC §15.203 - ANTENNA REQUIREMENT
Applicable Standard
According to § 15.203, an intentional radiator shall be designed to ensure that no antenna other than that
furnished by the responsible party shall be used with the device. The use of a permanently attached
antenna or of an antenna that uses a unique coupling to the intentional radiator shall be considered
sufficient to comply with the provisions of this section. The manufacturer may design the unit so that a
broken antenna can be replaced by the user, but the user of a standard antenna jack or electrical connector
is prohibited. The structure and application of the EUT were analyzed to determine compliance with
section §15.203 of the rules. §15.203 state that the subject device must meet the following criteria:

a. Antenna must be permanently attached to the unit.
b. Antenna must use a unique type of connector to attach to the EUT.
Unit must be professionally installed, and installer shall be responsible for verifying that the correct
antenna is employed with the unit.
And according to FCC 47 CFR section 15.247 (b), if the transmitting antennas of directional gain greater
than 6dBi are used, the power shall be reduced by the amount in dB that the directional gain of the antenna
exceeds 6 dBi.

Antenna Connector Construction
The EUT has a monopole antenna with a non-standard antenna jack which the maximum antenna gain is
2 dBi, fulfill the requirement of this section. Please refer to the EUT photos.

Result: Compliance.

FCC Part 15.247 Page 11 of 30

Bay Area Compliance Laboratories Corp. (Shenzhen) Report No.: RSZ180928002-00A

Test Procedure
During the conducted emission test, the adapter was connected to the outlet of the LISN.

Maximizing procedure was performed on the six (6) highest emissions of the EUT.

All final data was recorded in the Quasi-peak and average detection mode.

Corrected Factor & Margin Calculation
The Corrected factor is calculated by adding LISN VDF (Voltage Division Factor), Cable Loss and
Transient Limiter Attenuation. The basic equation is as follows:

Correction Factor = LISN VDF + Cable Loss + Transient Limiter Attenuation

The “Margin” column of the following data tables indicates the degree of compliance with the applicable
limit. For example, a margin of 7 dB means the emission is 7 dB below the limit. The equation for margin
calculation is as follows:

Margin = Limit – Corrected Amplitude

Test Results Summary
According to the recorded data in following table, the EUT complied with the FCC Part 15.207,

Refer to CISPR16-4-2:2011 and CISPR 16-4-1:2009, the measured level complies with the limit if

Lm + U(Lm) ≤ Llim + Ucispr

In BACL, U(Lm) is less than Ucispr, if Lm is less than Llim, it implies that the EUT complies with the limit.

Note 1: when duty cycle is no less than 98%
Note 2: when duty cycle is less than 98%

Test Procedure
Maximizing procedure was performed on the highest emissions to ensure that the EUT complied with all
installation combinations.

Data was recorded in Quasi-peak detection mode for frequency range of 30 MHz-1 GHz, peak and
Average detection modes for frequencies above 1 GHz.

Corrected Amplitude & Margin Calculation
The Corrected Amplitude is calculated by adding the Antenna Factor and Cable Loss, and subtracting the
Amplifier Gain from the Meter Reading. The basic equation is as follows:

Corrected Amplitude = Meter Reading + Antenna Factor + Cable Loss - Amplifier Gain

The “Margin” column of the following data tables indicates the degree of compliance with the applicable
limit. For example, a margin of 7dB means the emission is 7dB below the limit. The equation for margin
calculation is as follows:

Margin = Limit – Corrected Amplitude

Test Results Summary
According to the recorded data in following table, the EUT complied with the FCC Title 47, Part 15,
Subpart C, section 15.205, 15.209 and 15.247.

Refer to CISPR16-4-2:2011 and CISPR 16-4-1:2009, the measured level complies with the limit if

Lm + U(Lm) ≤ Llim + Ucispr

In BACL, U(Lm) is less than Ucispr, if Lm is less than Llim, it implies that the EUT complies with the limit.

FCC §15.247(b) (3) - MAXIMUM CONDUCTED OUTPUT POWER
Applicable Standard
According to FCC §15.247(b) (3), for systems using digital modulation in the 902-928 MHz, 2400-2483.5
MHz, and 5725-5850 MHz bands: 1 Watt. As an alternative to a peak power measurement, compliance
with the one Watt limit can be based on a measurement of the maximum conducted output power.
Maximum Conducted Output Power is defined as the total transmit power delivered to all antennas and
antenna elements averaged across all symbols in the signaling alphabet when the transmitter is operating at
its maximum power control level. Power must be summed across all antennas and antenna elements. The
average must not include any time intervals during which the transmitter is off or is transmitting at a
reduced power level. If multiple modes of operation are possible (e.g., alternative modulation methods),
the maximum conducted output power is the highest total transmit power occurring in any mode.

Test Procedure

1. Place the EUT on a bench and set it in transmitting mode.
2. Remove the antenna from the EUT and then connect a low loss RF cable from the antenna port to one
test equipment.
3. Add a correction factor to the display.

FCC §15.247(d) – 100 kHz BANDWIDTH OF FREQUENCY BAND EDGE
Applicable Standard
In any 100 kHz bandwidth outside the frequency band in which the spread spectrum or digitally modulated
intentional radiator is operating, the radio frequency power that is produced by the intentional radiator
shall be at least 20 dB below that in the 100 kHz bandwidth within the band that contains the highest level
of the desired power, based on either an RF conducted or a radiated measurement, provided the transmitter
demonstrates compliance with the peak conducted power limits. If the transmitter complies with the
conducted power limits based on the use of RMS averaging over a time interval, as permitted under
paragraph (b)(3) of this section, the attenuation required under this paragraph shall be 30 dB instead of 20
dB. Attenuation below the general limits specified in §15.209(a) is not required. In addition, radiated
emissions which fall in the restricted bands, as defined in §15.205(a), must also comply with the radiated
emission limits specified in §15.209(a) (see §15.205(c)).

Test Procedure
1. Check the calibration of the measuring instrument using either an internal calibrator or a known signal
from an external generator.
2. Position the EUT without connection to measurement instrument. Turn on the EUT and connect its
antenna terminal to measurement instrument via a low loss cable. Then set it to any one measured
frequency within its operating range, and make sure the instrument is operated in its linear range.
3. Set RBW to 100 kHz and VBW of spectrum analyzer to 300 kHz with a convenient frequency span
including 100 kHz bandwidth from band edge.
4. Measure the highest amplitude appearing on spectral display and set it as a reference level. Plot the
graph with marking the highest point and edge frequency.
5. Repeat above procedures until all measured frequencies were complete.

used to demonstrate compliance.
2. Set the RBW to: 3kHz≤ RBW≤100 kHz.
3. Set the VBW ≥ 3×RBW.
4. Set the span to 1.5 times the DTS bandwidth.
5. Detector = peak.
6. Sweep time = auto couple.
7. Trace mode = max hold.
8. Allow trace to fully stabilize.
9. Use the peak marker function to determine the maximum amplitude level within the RBW.
10. If measured value exceeds limit, reduce RBW (no less than 3 kHz) and repeat.
