1.0 RF Power Output - FCC Section 2.1046
This test was performed by RELM Communications and the data supplied to ACS for inclusion into the test
report. TIA/EIA-603 section 2.2.1 was the guiding procedure for measuring. The RF output power was
measured using an HP 8901A Modulation Analyzer. Results were reported in section 7.2.1 of the test
report and are given again below for convenience:

Applicable rule parts and limits
   • FCC Part 22 – Less than 100 Watts
   • FCC Part 74.461 – Less than 100 Watts

   • FCC Part 74.463 - Each new remote pickup broadcast station authorized to operate with a power
                           output in excess of 3 watts shall be equipped with a device which will
                           automatically prevent modulation in excess of the limits set forth in this subpart.

Field Strength of Spurious Radiation - FCC Section 2.1053
Radiated spurious emissions were performed on an open area test site operated by ACS, Inc. The site
have been fully described, submitted to, and accepted by the FCC and Industry Canada. FCC registration
number 89450 and Industry Canada Lab Code IC 4175 have been assigned in recognition of the site. The
site is also in conformance with publication CISPR16.

Radiated Emission Site Description
An open area test site(OATS) was used for measuring the radiated spurious emissions. The OATS was
constructed in accordance with ANSI C63.4 and consists of a 40’ x 66’ concrete pad covered with
perforated electro-plated galvanized sheet metal. The perforations in the sheet metal are 1/8” holes that
are staggered every 3/16”. The individual sheets are placed to overlap each other by 1/4” and are riveted
together to provide a continuous seam. Rivets are spaced every 3” in a 3 x 20 meter perimeter around the
antenna mast and EUT area. Rivets in the remaining area are spaced as necessary to properly secure the
ground plane and maintain the electrical continuity.

The entire ground plane extends 12’ beyond the turntable edge and 16’ beyond the antenna mast when set
to a 10 meter measurement distance. The ground plane is grounded via 4 - 8’ copper ground rods, each
installed at a corner of the ground plane and bound to the ground plane using 3/4" stainless steel braided
cable.

The turntable is an all aluminum 10’ flush mounted table installed in an all aluminum frame. The table is
remotely operated from inside the control room located 40’ from the range. The turntable is electrically
bonded to the surrounding ground plane via steel fingers installed on the edge of the turn table. The steel
fingers make constant contact with the ground plane during operation.

Adjacent to the turntable is a 7’ x 7’ square and 4’ deep concrete pit used for support equipment if
necessary. The pit is equipped with 5 - 4” PVC chases from the pit to the control room that allow for cabling
to the EUT if necessary. The underside of the turntable can be accessed from the pit so cables can be
supplied to the EUT from the pit. The pit is covered with 2 sheets of 1/4" diamond style re-enforced steel
sheets. The sheets are painted to match the perforated steel ground plane, however the underside edges
have been masked off to maintain the electrical continuity of the ground plane. All reflecting objects are
located outside of the ellipse defined in ANSI C63.4. A diagram of the Open Area Test Site is shown below:

    Results

    25 kHz – The middle channel produced the highest power of 4.43 Watts. At this power level, the radiated
    spurious emission should be 49.4dB below the carrier. This value represents the worst case and was used
    to determine compliance of all channels with the requirements. Results are shown below:

report. TIA/EIA 603 2.2.2 was the guiding procedure for this test. The measurement was made by
connecting the EUT directly to the an HP8561A Spectrum Analyzer. Results of the test were reported in
section 7.2.2 of the report and are given again below for convenience.

Applicable rule parts and limits
   • FCC Part 22.355 – 5.0 ppm > 3 Watts
   • FCC Part 74.464 - .0005%(5.00 ppm) > 3 Watts
   • FCC Part 80.209 – 5.0 ppm > 3 Watts
