                                             Section 15.207 Conducted limits : 2006
                                             Section 15.247 Operation within the bands 902-928MHz,
                                                            2400-2483.5MHz, and 5725-5850MHz : 2006

FCC 15.31 (e)
This EUT provides stable voltage(DC3.3V) constantly to RF Module regardless of input voltage. Therefore, this EUT
complies with the requirement.

FCC Part 15.203 Antenna requirement
It is impossible for end users to replace the antenna, because the antenna is mounted inside of the EUT. Therefore, the
equipment complies with the antenna requirement of Section 15.203.

      Remarks: Test was not performed at AFH mode, because the decrease of number of channel (min: 20ch) at AFH mode does not
      influence on the output power and bandwidth of the EUT.
      However, the limit level 125mWof AFH mode was used for the test.

SECTION 5: Conducted Emission

Test Procedure and conditions

EUT was placed on a urethane platform of nominal size, 1.0m by 1.5m, raised 80cm above the conducting ground plane.
The rear of tabletop was located 40cm to the vertical conducting plane. The rear of EUT, including peripherals aligned and
flushed with rear of tabletop. All other surfaces of tabletop were at least 80cm from any other grounded conducting surface.
EUT was located 80cm from a Line Impedance Stabilization Network (LISN)/ Artificial mains Network (AMN) and excess
AC cable was bundled in center.

For the tests on EUT with other peripherals (as a whole system)
I/O cable and AC cables that were connected to the peripherals were bundled in center. They were folded back and forth
forming a bundle 30cm to 40cm long and were hanged at a 40cm height to the ground plane. All unused 50ohm connectors
of the LISN(AMN) were resistivity terminated in 50ohm when not connected to the measuring equipment.


The AC Mains Terminal Continuous disturbance Voltage has been measured with the EUT in a Semi Anechoic Chamber or
a Measurement Room.
The EUT was connected to a LISN (AMN).
An overview sweep with peak detection has been performed.

SECTION 6: Spurious Emission

Test Procedure
The Out of Band Emission was measured with a spectrum analyzer connected to the antenna port.

[Radiated]
Test Procedure
EUT was placed on a urethane platform of nominal size, 1.0m by 1.5m, raised 80cm above the conducting ground plane.
The Radiated Electric Field Strength intensity has been measured in a Semi Anechoic Chamber with a ground plane and at a
distance of 3m(Below 10GHz) and 1m(Upper 10GHz).
The height of the measuring varied between 1 and 4m and EUT was rotated a full revolution in order to obtain the maximum
value of the electric field intensity.
The measurements were performed for both vertical and horizontal antenna polarization with the Test Receiver, or the
Spectrum Analyzer (in linear mode).
The test was made with the detector (RBW/VBW) in the following table.
When using Spectrum analyzer, the test was made with adjusting span to zero by using peak hold.

In any 100kHz bandwidth outside the frequency band in which the spread spectrum intentional radiator is operating,
the radio frequency power that is produced by the intentional radiator confirmed 20dB below that in the 100kHz
bandwidth within the band that contains the highest level of the desired power, based on a radiated measurement.

20dBc was applied to the frequency over the limit of FCC 15.209 and outside the restricted band of FCC15.205.
