SPURIOUS EMISSIONS AT ANTENNA TERMINALS (CONDUCTED)

Rule Part No.:        FCC Part 2.1051(a), 87.139(d)
Requirements:         Emissions removed more than 250% of the authorized bandwidth must be
                      attenuated from the carrier by:

                      43 + 10*log(Mean Power in Watts)

                      43 + 10*l0g(0.94)
                      47.03 dBm — 42.73 dBe = 4.30 dBm limit for this EUT

Method of Measurement: The spectrum was scanned from the lowest frequency generated to
at least the 10th harmonic of the fundamental. This procedure was repeated for all EUT operating
modes. Emissions more than 20 dB from the limit were not reported. Measurements were made
in accordance with standard awst/TtaA 603—D: 2010.

FIELD STRENGTH OF SPURIOUS EMISSIONS

Rule Parts. No.:    FCC Part 2.1053, 87.139(d)

Requirements:       Emissions removed more than 250% of the authorized bandwidth must be
                    attenuated from the carrier by:

                    43 + 10*log(Mean Power in Watts)

                    43 + 10*log(0.94)
                    47.03 dBm — 42.73 dBe = 4.30 dBm limit for this EUT

METHOD OF MEASUREMENT: The tabulated data shows the results of the radiated field
strength emissions test. The spectrum was scanned from 30 MHz to at least the tenth harmonic
of the fundamental,    This test was conducted per ANST/TIA 603—D: 2010 using the substitution
method.
