1. General Information
   1.1. Product Description:
       The Johnson Controls Interiors HomeLink® HL4 Universal Garage Door Opener is a low-
       power transceiver OEM device that is installed into an overhead area of the automobile.
       The installation is provided by trained technicians during the course of the manufacture of
       the automobile. It is powered by the 12volt system of the automobile.

       This Universal Garage Door Opener has the capability to

           1. Learn the frequency and bit code format of the user’s existing garage door remote
             control devices and
           2.Reproduce and transmit the frequency and bit code format to remotely operate the
             user’s garage door.

       The unit is designed for the periodic operation of a control signal, which typically activates
       a garage door opener receiver.

       The unit is supplied to the automobile manufacturer without harness. For testing
       purposes a typical assembly and 2-conductor cable harness were used to power to the
       unit.

       The unit is only operational when the user depresses the control button. It becomes
       inactive after release of the control button.

       The three-button HomeLink® unit replaces up to three hand-held transmitters. In addition
       to the typical operation of the garage door, the unit will learn the radio frequency codes of
       other transmitter types to activate entry door locks, estate gates, security systems, and
       home or office lighting.

       The antenna system is an integral part of the unit. It cannot be altered nor replaced by
       the user. Service of this system is only available from the Automobile Manufacturer’s
       Dealerships and Johnson Controls Interiors, LLC.

   1.2. Related Grants
        None.

   1.3. Test Methodology
       Radiated Emissions testing was done according to ANSI C63.4-2003. The power source
       for this product is a 12V automotive vehicle battery, thus conducted emissions
       measurements are not required.

       The unit is supplied to the automobile manufacturer without harness. For testing
       purposes a 2-conductor cable harness was used to interface to the unit.

7. Radiated Emissions Data
   7.1. Summary of Results
                    •   Measurements of the transmit output field strength were taken with the
                        DUT trained to 288, 310, and 418 MHz at 30, 50 and 80% duty cycles. A
                        worst-case emission of 72.5 dBuV/m occurred with the DUT trained to
                        288 MHz, 80% duty cycle. The worst-case emission remained 1.4 dB
                        below the FCC limit (73.8 dBuV/m) for this type of device.
                    •   The worst-case harmonic measurement of 46.7 dBuV/m was found at
                        576 MHz, the fourth harmonic of 309.5 MHz at 80% duty cycle. A
                        margin of 7.3 dB to the prescribed FCC limit was noted. When
                        adjusted for the duty cycle.
                    •   This module exhibits pulsed operation characteristics.
                    •   Measurements were taken of the 20dB occupied bandwidth. The
                        transmitter had a maximum occupied bandwidth of 150 kHz when the
                        DUT is trained to 418 MHz, 80% duty cycle.
                    •   This device has a worst case Class B emission of 39.9 dBuV/m at 30
                        MHz when set to transmit at 288 MHz a margin of 0.1 dB to the Class B
                        limit is maintained.
                    •   The output power of the DUT varied by no more than 0.62 dB when the
                        input voltage was varied from 6 to 18 Volts. The device does not operate
                        when the input voltage is below 7V.
                    •   The device was found to be incapable of operating in restricted bands.
                    •   The device deactivated immediately after the activation button is
                        depressed. Less than 5 sec.
                    •   The device uses pulses to tune the transmit antenna. At 418 MHz, 30%
                        duty cycle the field strength of the pulses average 528 uV/m over 100
                        msec. This represents a margin on 25.4 dB to the FCC limit.

       7.4.4. Emission Spectrum
                 Prescan Measurements were taken inside a semi-anechoic chamber to
                 investigate the possibility of other spurious emissions from the DUT.

                 Emissions were noted and measured on the JCI OATS, all measurements were
                 found to be near or below the ambient noise level and well below the FCC limits
                 for spurious emissions. A summary is presented below in section 7.4.4.4

                 Measurement settings:
                       Resolution BW 120kHz
                       Video Bandwidth: 300kHz
                       Detector: Peak


Note: Pre-scan measurements were made in a semi-anechoic chamber using a Rohde &
Schwarz EMI Test Receiver 7GHz. The semi-anechoic chamber and test receiver are part of the
Johnson Control Electronics Validation Group.

       7.4.6. Verification of Non-Operation in Restricted Bands
            An exercise was undergone to verify that the device was not able to learn and
            thereby transmit in a restricted band. During this exercise it was found that the
            device firmware prevents the device from learning any frequency within 1MHz of
            any restricted band listed in 47 CFR 15.205.

       7.4.7. Verification of De-activation after 5 seconds
            This device stops transmitting once the activation button in depressed.

                                    7.4.8. Tuning Pulse Measurements
                                          This device uses pulses to tune the antenna prior to transmission. Measurements of
                                          these tuning pulses over 100 msec windows show that these pulses are below the
                                          FCC limits for operation in this band. A summary of measurements is presented in
                                          section 7.4.8.7. Tuning pulse measurements were taken at 288, 310, and 433 MHz
                                          at a duty cycle of 30%. Settings in the screen capture below were not used to make
                                          the measurements presented in section 7.4.8.7.

   7.5. Formulas and Sample Calculations
       7.5.1. Adjustment to account for duty cycle
         The spectrum analyzers used for making the measurements in this report automatically
         corrects for cable correction and antenna factors using values stored in memory taken
         from the most recent calibration (in the case of antenna factors) and periodic cable loss
         measurements.

         Formula 1:  FS(dBuV/m) = M(dBuV) + AF(dB/m) + CF(dB)
         The presented field strength is computed by the spectrum analyzer by taking the
         measured level and adding to it the antenna factor and cable loss corrections. The
         measurement presented in gathered using the spectrum analyzer’s peak-hold
         capability.

         Formula 2: Average Level(dBuV/m) = Peak Level (dBuV/m) + duty cycle factor(dB).
         The peak measurement is adjusted to an average level by a duty cycle described
         below.

         The duty cycle factor to apply is determined for the duty cycles of 30%, 50%, and 80%
         as follows:
                For 30% (0.30):         duty cycle factor(dB) = 20*Log(0.3) = -10.46
                For 50% (0.50):         duty cycle factor(dB) = 20*Log(0.5) = -6.02
                For 80% (0.80):         duty cycle factor(dB) = 20*Log(0.8) = -1.94

         Example calculation:
          With the EUT programmed with a 30% duty cycle a measurement of 74 dBuV/m is
         taken (about 5000 uV/m), the adjusted level would be:
                              74 + (-10.46) = 63.54 dBuV/m (example)


       7.5.2.   Calculation of FCC limits from 15.231.

       The prescribed limit in the range of 260 MHz to 470 MHz is stated as a linear
       interpolation between 3750 uV/m and 12500 uV/m. The equation used to calculate the
       limit using this criteria is:

                FCC limit = 41.67 * f – 7083.33
                (Where ‘f’ is the measurement frequency in MHz.)

       The limit is dBuV/m is then:

                dB limit = 20 * log10( FCC limit uV/m) = 20*log10( 41.67*f – 7083.33)
                ( log10 is used to indicated the use of a base 10 logarithm)

       This results in the following limits for the fundamentals:

       288MHz                  20*log10(4917.6) = 73.8 dBuV/m
       310MHz                  20*log10(5834.4) = 75.3 dBuV/m
       390MHz                  20*log10(9168.0) = 79.2 dBuV/m
       418MHz                  20*log10(10334.7) = 80.3 dBuV/m
