2          Test Details

2.1        Radiated Spurious Emissions (Simultaneous Transmission)

2.1.1      Specification Reference

           FCC 47 CFR Parts 15, Clause 15.247 (d) and 15.407 (b)
           Industry Canada RSS 247, Clause 5.5 and 6.2
           Industry Canada RSS GEN, Clause 8.9 and 8.10

2.1.2      Equipment Under Test and Modification State

           A1993, S/N: C07WT00HK2V0 - Modification State 0

2.1.3      Date of Test

           20-August-2018

2.1.4      Test Method

           The test was performed in accordance with ANSI C63.10, clauses 6.3, 6.5 and 6.6.

           For frequencies > 1 GHz, plots for average measurements were taken in accordance with ANSI
           C63.10 clause 4.1.4.2.3 to characterize the EUT. Where emissions were detected, final average
           measurements were taken in accordance with ANSI C63.10 clause 4.1.4.2.2.

           The plots shown are the characterization of the EUT. The limits on the plots represent the most
           stringent case for restricted bands, (74/54 dBuV/m) when compared to the relevant limits outside
           restricted bands. The limits shown have been used as a threshold to determine where further
           measurements are necessary. Where results are within 10 dB of the limits shown on the plots,
           further investigation was carried out and reported in results tables.

           For frequencies > 18 GHz, the measurement distance was reduced to 1 meter and the limit line
           was increased by 20*LOG (3/1) = 9.54 dB.

2.1.5      Environmental Conditions

           Ambient Temperature         20.4 - 20.8 °C
           Relative Humidity           60.8 - 61.0 %

2.1.6      Test Results

           CoTX - 2.4 GHz WLAN Main, 5 GHz WLAN Aux & Bluetooth BDR

           The EUT was configured for simultaneous transmission in the following mode of operation:
