1.1.2   TEST PROCEDURE
        The DME-4000 was adjusted in accordance with the alignment procedure listed in the
        PTR(Exhibit-N). The primary power supply was set to 27.5 VDC. The peak output
        power was measured at carrier frequencies of 1025, 1068 and 1150 MHz with the DME-
        4000 configured per the test setup shown in Figure-1. The RF load for these
        measurements was a 20 dB directional coupler in series with the IFR ATC1400A Test
        set. The attenuated port of the directional coupler was connected to a 20 pad dB in series
        with a 10dB pad. The 10 dB pad was then connected to the Peak Power Meter (Giga-
        tronics 8502A). The peak output power measurements were made using the Giga-tronics
        8502A power meter. Figure 1 shows the test setup.

                                                   2


1.2     Modulation Characteristic
         The DME-4000 emission type as defined in §2.201 is M1D. The necessary bandwidth as
         defined in §2.202 is calculated from formula

                                                    Bn=2K/t

         Bn= Necessary bandwidth

         K= is a numerical factor which is defined for M1D emission ,per §2.202 (g)-Table of
         necessary bandwidth (Radio- relays system……), to be 1.6

         t= pulse duration (defined per RTCA/DO-189 to be 3.5 microseconds +/- 0.5
         microseconds at 50% points). For the purpose of calculation we will consider the worse
         case of the pulse width which is 3.0 microseconds.

         Assuming minimum allowable pulse duration of 3.0 microseconds, then

                                      Bn=2(1.6)/3 X 10-6 =1.0667 MHz

                                                              1.1 MHz

         Thus, the complete emission designation according to §2.201 is 1M10M1D

1.2.1    Requirements

1.3     Occupied Bandwidth

1.3.1    Requirements
FCC Sec. §2.989
The occupied bandwidth, that is the frequency bandwidth such that, below its lower and above its upper
frequency, limits, the mean powers radiated are each equal to 0.5 percent of the total mean power radiated
by a given emission shall be measured under the following conditions as applicable:
(i)Transmitters designed for other types of modulation- when modulated by an appropriate signal of
sufficient amplitude to be representative of the type of service in which used. A description of the input
signal should be supplied.

FCC Sec. § 87.135
(a)Occupied bandwidth is the width of a frequency band such that, below the lower and above the upper
frequency limits, the mean powers emitted are each equal to 0.5 percent of the total mean power of a given
emission




         The DME-4000 emission type as defined in §2.201 is M1D. The necessary bandwidth as
         defined in §2.202 is calculated from formula

                                                     Bn=2K/t

         Bn= Necessary bandwidth

         K= is a numerical factor which is defined for M1D emission ,per §2.202 (g)-Table of
         necessary bandwidth (Radio- relays system……), to be 1.6

         t= pulse duration (defined per RTCA/DO-189 to be 3.5 microseconds +/- 0.5
         microseconds at 50% points). For the purpose of calculation we will consider the worse
         case of the pulse width which is 3.0 microseconds.

         Assuming minimum allowable pulse duration of 3.0 microseconds, then

                                       Bn=2(1.6)/3 X 10-6 =1.0667 MHz

                                                               1.1 MHz

         Thus, the complete emission designation according to §2.201 is 1M10M1D



1.3.2    Test Procedure
         As determined from the above calculation the necessary bandwidth for the DME-4000 is
         1.0667 MHz.
         The occupied bandwidth data was recorded with the DME-4000 setup as shown in Figure
         9. The occupied bandwidth data was taken on channels 1X, 64X and 126X using the
         built-in occupied bandwidth function of the HP8562A Spectrum Analyzer.

[1]-The frequency data was recorded directly from the spectrum analyzer using the marker. After the
spectrum analyzer calculates the 99% power density the marker key marks the upper frequency threshold
for the 99% power density boundaries. The measured occupied bandwidth was divided by two and the
answer was subtracted from the upper frequency threshold point, marked by the marker key function, to
arrive at this frequency number.

Test results indicates the DME 4000 meets and exceeds the FCC requirements.
        Compliance with the principal requirements is demonstrated.

1.4     Spurious Emissions at the Antenna Terminals

1.4.1    Requirements
FCC Sec. §2.991
The radio frequency voltage or powers generated within the equipment and appearing on a spurious
frequency shall be checked at the equipment output terminals when properly loaded with a suitable
artificial antenna. Curves or equivalent data shall show the magnitude of each harmonic and other spurious
emission that can be detected when the equipment is operated under the conditions specified in§2.989 as
appropriate. The magnitude of spurious emissions which are attenuated more than 20 dB below the
permissible value need not be specified.

FCC Sec §87.139(d)
Except for the telemetry in the 1435-1535 MHz band, when the frequency is removed from the assigned
frequency by more than 250 percent of the authorized bandwidth for aircraft stations above 30 MHz and all
ground stations the attenuation must be at least 43+ 10 log 10 PY dB.

         PY= Mean power of the transmitter

         The DME-4000 transmits two pulses with pulse width, measured at the 50% point, of no
         more than 4 micro second wide. The maximum Pulse Repetition Frequency (PRF),
         during search mode, is 76 Pulse Pairs per Second (PPS). The maximum output power in
         the lab was measured to be 580W(rounded off to 600W for the calculation).

         Duty Cycle (DC) = (2 x 4 us x 76) x 100 =0.0608%

         PY= 0.068 * 600W=36.48W

         DME-4000 maximum spurious level = 43 + 10 log10 36.48=58.62 dB

         All the spurious emissions from the DME-4000 antenna port must be less than 58.62 dB.

1.4.2    Test Procedure
         The DME-4000 test equipment was connected as shown in Figure 22 and the spurious
         emission data was collected from the antenna port using the spectrum analyzer (HP
         8562A) The spurious emission response data of the DME-4000 is measured in 15
         different steps. The steps are 0-500 MHz, 250-750 MHz, 750 MHz-1.25 GHz, 1.25-1.75
         GHz, 1.75-2.75 GHz, 2.75-3.75 GHz, 3.75-4.75 GHz, 4.75-5.75 GHz, 5.75-6.75 GHz,
         6.75-7.75 GHz, 7.75-8.75 GHz, 8.75-9.75 GHz, 9.75-10.75 GHz, 10.75-11.75 GHz and
         11.75-12.75 GHz.

        Figure 23 thru Figure 37 shows the spurious emission of the DME-4000 with the unit
        tuned to channel 126x(1150 MHz). From the data captured and shown below all the
        spurious emission level described in this exhibit are seen to have peak powers more than
        58.62 dB below the peak power at the transmitter fundamental frequency. The DME-
        4000 transmitter attenuation of spurious outputs meets and exceeds the FCC requirement.
        Compliance with the principal requirements is demonstrated.

1.5     Field Strength of Spurious Radiation

1.5.1    Requirements
FCC Sec. §2.993
(a) Measurements shall be made to detect spurious emissions that may be radiated directly from the
    cabinets, control circuits, power leads, or intermediate circuit elements under normal conditions of
    installation and operations. Curves or equivalent data shall be supplied showing the magnitude of each
    harmonic and other spurious emission. For this test, single sideband, independent sideband, and
    controlled carrier transmitters shall be modulated under the conditions specified in paragraph (c) of
    §2.989, as appropriate. For equipment operating on frequencies 890 MHz, an open field test is
    normally required, with the measuring instrument antenna located in the far-field at all test frequencies.
    In the event it is either impractical or impossible to make open field measurements(e.g. a broadcast
    transmitter in stalled in a building) measurements will be accepted of the equipment as installed. Such
    measurements were made showing the location of any possible source of reflections which might
    distort the field strength measurements. Information submitted shall include the relative radiated
    power of each spurious emission with reference to the rated power output of the transmitter, assuming
    all emissions are radiated from halfwave dipole antennas.
(b) The measurements specified in paragraph (a) of this section shall be made for the following
    equipment:
    (2) All equipment operating on frequencies higher than 25 MHz.
1.5.2    Test Procedure
         This test was performed on an open-field range meeting the requirements of CFR 47 part 15.
         Testing was performed in Rubicom Systems, Inc., 284 West Drive, Melbourne FL. Rockwell
         Collins supplied the DME-4000 unit with all the supporting test equipment listed in the Test
         Equipment List section of this document. Rubicom supplied radiated measuring equipment
         (calibrated antennae and spectrum analyzer) and measurement platform.

1.6     Frequency Stability

1.6.1     Requirements
FCC Sec. §2.995
(a) The frequency stability shall be measured with variation of ambient temperature as follows:
(b) (1) from -30º to +50º centigrade for all equipment except that specified in paragraphs(a)(2) and (3) of
    this section.


1.6.2     Test Procedure
          The DME-4000 was placed inside the temperature chamber, Test Equity 1000 series, and
          connected to the setup shown in Figure 38. Unit temperature was stabilized in 10 degrees
          step between -55º to +70º Celsius using a temperature probe inside the unit. The Local
          Oscillator(LO) output frequency (L-Band) was measured at the antenna port and recorded
          for each temperature step for both P1 and P2 pulses. Two additional tables were created
          one for P1 and another for P2 to show the magnitude of the error from the assigned
          frequency. The test result indicates that the DME-4000 meets and exceeds the FCC
          requirement.
