1     General Information
1.1    Product Description for Equipment Under Test (EUT)
This test and measurement report was prepared on behalf of Communications Specialists, Inc. and their product,
model: CSTXR.1, FCC ID: CFXTXR-2, IC: 22317-CFXTXR2 or the "EUT" as referred to in this report. The
EUT is an Ankle/Wrist Homing Transmitter operating in 433.5 MHz and the 217-220 MHz & 216-217 MHz
frequency bands.


1.2    Mechanical Description

2     System Test Configuration
2.1    Justification
The EUT was configured for testing according to ANSI C63.10-2013.


2.2    EUT Exercise Software
The EUT did not require any software to operate.


2.3    Duty Cycle Correction Factor
According to RSS- Gen 6.10, When the field strength (or envelope power) is not constant or it is in pulses, and
an average detector is specified to be used, the value of field strength or power shall be determined by averaging
over one complete pulse train, including blanking intervals within the pulse train, as long as the pulse train does
not exceed 0.1 second. In cases where the pulse train exceeds 0.1 second, the average value of field strength or
output power shall be determined during a 0.1 second interval during which the field strength or power is at its
maximum value.
The exact method of calculating the average field strength shall be submitted with the application for
certification or shall be retained in the measurement data file for equipment subject to notification or
verification.

Duty Cycle = On Time (ms)/ Period (ms) * 100% = 10.81%
Duty Cycle Correction Factor (dB) = 20*log (1/ 0.1081) = 19.32 dB

Note1: The provisions of this section are restricted to periodic operation within the band 40.66-40.70 MHz and above 70
MHz. Except as shown in paragraph (e) of this section, the intentional radiator is restricted to the transmission of a control
signal such as those used with alarm systems, door openers, remote switches, etc. Continuous transmissions, voice, video
and the radio control of toys are not permitted. Data is permitted to be sent with a control signal.

Note2: A.1 Momentarily Operated Devices The frequency bands and field strength limits in tables A1 and A2 of this annex
are reserved exclusively for the transmission of a control signal, such as that used with alarm systems, door openers, remote
switches, etc. Data may be sent with a control signal. Radio control of toys or model aircraft, as well as continuous
transmissions, such as voice or video, are not permitted, except as provided in Section A.1.4 below.

Note3: Because the EUT uses button battery, the AC line conducted emissions is not applied.

4     FCC §15.203 & ISED RSS-Gen §8.3 - Antenna Requirement
4.1    Applicable Standard
According to FCC §15.203, an intentional radiator shall be designed to ensure that no antenna other than that
furnished by the responsible party shall be used with the device. The use of a permanently attached antenna or of
an antenna that uses a unique coupling to the intentional radiator shall be considered sufficient to comply with
the provisions of this Section. The manufacturer may design the unit so that a broken antenna can be replaced by
the user, but the use of a standard antenna jack or electrical connector is prohibited.

According to ISED RSS-Gen §8.3: Transmitter Antenna

The applicant for equipment certification, as per RSP-100, must provide a list of all antenna types that may be
used with the license-exempt transmitter, indicating the maximum permissible antenna gain (in dBi) and the
required impedance for each antenna.
License-exempt transmitters that have received equipment certification may operate with different types of
antennas. However, it is not permissible to exceed the maximum equivalent isotropically radiated power
(e.i.r.p.) limits specified in the applicable standard (RSS) for the license-exempt apparatus.

 Testing shall be performed using the highest gain antenna of each combination of license-exempt transmitter
and antenna type, with the transmitter output power set at the maximum level. 9 When a measurement at the
antenna connector is used to determine RF output power, the effective gain of the device’s antenna shall be
stated, based on a measurement or on data from the antenna manufacturer.

User manuals for transmitters equipped with detachable antennas shall also contain the following notice in a
conspicuous location:

This radio transmitter (identify the device by certification number) has been approved by Industry Canada to
operate with the antenna types listed below with the maximum permissible gain indicated. Antenna types not
included in this list, having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited
for use with this device.

Immediately following the above notice, the manufacturer shall provide a list of all antenna types approved for
use with the transmitter, indicating the maximum permissible antenna gain (in dBi).


4.2    Antenna Description
This product has an integral non-tuned loop antenna which is soldered on the PCB board, fulfilling the
requirement of this section. And the gain of antenna is -30 dBi.

5     FCC §2.1093 & ISED RSS-102 - RF Exposure
5.1    Applicable Standards
FCC §2.1093 & ISED RSS-102


5.2    Test Results
Refer to the 4.3.1 Standalone SAR test exclusion considerations in 447498 D01 General RF Exposure Guidance
V06.

[(max. power of channel, including tune-up tolerance, mW) / (min. test separation distance, mm)]·[√f(GHz)]
=[4.111 x 10-6 mW/5mm] · [√0.4335] = 5.4134 x 10-7 ≤ 7.5 for 10-g extremity SAR. So the SAR test is
excluded.
Refer to the RSS-102 section 2.5.1 Exemption Limits for Routine Evaluation. When the frequency is 433.5MHz
and separation distance is less than 5mm, the exemption limits is 52 mW. The output power 4.111 x 10-6 mW<
52 mW. So the SAR test is excluded.

outlet.

Setup the test environment like the figure above. Set the spectrum analyzer to RBW=100 kHz, VBW=300 kHz.
Set the Spectrum Analyzer in the time domain and set the sweep time as 12 seconds. Insert the battery into the
EUT and click one-time sweep at the same time to record the signal in 12 seconds. Mark the first signal pulse
and 5 seconds late signal.

For the radiated emissions test, the EUT host, and all support equipment power cords were connected to the AC
floor outlet.

Maximizing procedure was performed on the highest emissions to ensure that the EUT complied with all
installation combinations.

The EUT was set 1 meter away from the testing antenna, which was varied from 1-4 meter, and the EUT was
placed on a turntable, which was 0.8 meter and 1.5 meter above the ground plane for below and above 1000
MHz measurements, the table shall be rotated for 360 degrees to find out the highest emission. The receiving
antenna’s polarity should be changed between horizontal and vertical.

According to §15.231, intentional radiators operating under the provisions of this section shall demonstrate
compliance with the limits on the field strength of emission, based on the average value of the measured
emissions. As an alternative, compliance with the limits may be based on the use of measurement
instrumentation with a CISPR quasi-peak detector.


7.4   Corrected Amplitude & Margin Calculation
The Corrected Amplitude is calculated by adding the Antenna Factor and Cable Factor, and subtracting the
Amplifier Gain from the Amplitude reading. The basic equation is as follows:

        Corrected Amplitude = Indicated Reading + Antenna Factor + Cable Factor - Amplifier Gain

The “Margin” column of the following data tables indicates the degree of compliance with the applicable limit.
For example, a margin of -7 dB means the emission is 7 dB below the maximum limit. The equation for margin
calculation is as follows:

        Margin = Corrected Amplitude –Limit

8       FCC §15.231(c) & RSS-210 §A.1.3 - Emissions Bandwidth
8.1      Applicable Standard
As per FCC §15.231(c), the bandwidth of the emission shall be no wider than 0.25% of the center frequency for
devices operating above 70 MHz and below 900 MHz. For devices operating above 900 MHz, the emission
shall be no wider than 0.5% of the center frequency. Bandwidth is determined at the points 20 dB down from the
modulated carrier.

As per ISED RSS-210 §A.1.3, the 99% bandwidth of momentarily operated devices shall be less or equal to
0.25% of the centre frequency for devices operating between 70 MHz and 900 MHz. For devices operating
above 900 MHz, the 99% bandwidth shall be less or equal to 0.5% of the centre frequency.
