                       4.0 CONDUCTED EMISSIONS TESTING

Conducted emissions testing was performed in accordance with ANSI C63.4, FCC
Part 15 and 3M Test Procedures: Conducted Emissions Test (150 kHz – 30 MHz),
PBLI-6S8LR2 and 13.56 MHz RFID Emissions Test, PBLI-6WHLEM. Conducted
emissions tests were made to determine the level of electromagnetic noise that is
conducted onto the power mains from the EUT.

4.1 Test Procedure:

A Line Impedance Stabilization Network (LISN) with 50Ω /50μH characteristic was
used to isolate the EUT and give accurate and repeatable readings. An EMI test
receiver was used for the emissions measurements in the range from 150 KHz to
30 MHz. Initial measurements were taken with the receiver in continuous
frequency overview mode utilizing peak level signal detection. Initial results were
measured at discrete frequencies utilizing quasi-peak detection. Measurement
results were automatically calculated via software running the EMI receiver. The
final quasi-peak and average measurements recorded were determined by the
following: Result (dBµV) = receiver reading (μV) + LISN (dB) + cable loss (dB)

4.2 Test Criteria:

The FCC Part 15 Subpart C conducted limits are given below. The lower limit shall
apply at the transition frequency.

                           5.0 Radiated Emissions Testing

The EUT was placed in an anechoic chamber and radiated emissions testing was
performed in accordance with FCC Part 15.225 and 3M Test Procedures:
Radiated Emissions Test (30 MHz – 1 GHz), PBLI-6SHLK2, Radiated Emissions
Test (1 GHz – 5 GHz), PBLI-6SNHFY and 13.56 MHz RFID Emissions Test, PBLI-
6WHLEM. Radiated emissions measurements were made to determine the level
of electromagnetic energy radiating from the EUT.
5.1 Frequency Stability

The Frequency Stability testing was preformed in accordance with ANSI C63.4
and FCC Part 15.225 (e) to insure that the intentional radiator frequency stability
was within the allowable limits for input power and temperature variations.

5.1.1 Test Procedure

The Frequency Stability was measured using the radiated signals from the EUT so
that the measurement equipment would not load the radio frequency circuits. A
frequency counter was used for the frequency stability measurements. A close
field probe was attached to the counter and placed near the antenna of the reader
for measurement. The Reader was put into a continuous output mode through
instructions from the host computer (test mode of operation). 1) The frequency
was measured while the input DC power to the Intentional Radiator (RFID Reader)
was varied over the required input voltage range. 2) The frequency was also
measured while the ambient air temperature was varied over the required ambient
temperature range (measurements are taken within 1 minute of startup, and after
10 minutes of operation at each test condition).

5.1.2 Test Criteria

                              5.2 Emission Bandwidth

The EUT was placed in a semi-anechoic chamber and the Emission Bandwidth
testing was performed in accordance with ANSI C63.4, FCC Part 15.225 and 3M
Test Procedure: 13.56 MHz RFID Emissions Test, PBLI-6WHLEM The Emission
Bandwidth measurements were made to determine the intentional radiator
frequency and determine the level of electromagnetic energy radiated at that
frequency and at the band edges from the EUT.

5.2.1 Test Procedure

A measurement antenna (loop) was positioned at a distance of 5 meters (to insure
far field measurements) from the center of the EUT. An EMI receiver was used for
the emissions measurements. Initial sweep measurements were taken with the
receiver in continuous frequency overview mode utilizing peak level signal
detection. The intentional radiator frequency and band edge frequencies utilizing
quasi-peak detection were then maximized. Maximizing a frequency involves
finding the angle of the highest emission levels by rotating the EUT 360 degrees
(sampling at least every 4 degrees). Then the antenna, which was fixed at 1-
meter height, was rotated until the highest emissions levels found. Measurement
results were automatically calculated via software running the EMI receiver. The
final quasi-peak measurements recorded were determined by the following
formula:
        Result (dBµV/m) = receiver level (µV) + antenna factor (dB/m) + cable loss
        (dB) - preamp gain (dB) + lineal conversion (dB).

5.2.5 99% Power Bandwidth Test Procedure

The EUT was placed in a shielded room and connected directly to the input of an
EMI Receiver. The receiver was operated in the analyzer mode with a center

and bandwidths were set in accordance with Industry Canada RSS-GEN (section
4.6.1). The receiver has an internal function that can be selected for the
measurement of the 99% Bandwidth, and automatic placement of the markers. 3M
Test Procedure: 13.56 MHz RFID Emissions Test, PBLI-6WHLEM contains the
procedure for selecting the Bandwidth function and output of the result plot.



The EUT had a measured bandwidth of 15.63 KHz.

5.3 Spurious Emissions (9 KHz to 30 MHz.)

The EUT was placed in a semi-anechoic chamber and the Spurious Emissions
testing was preformed in accordance with ANSI C63.4, FCC Part 15, Subpart C
and 3M Test Procedure: 13.56 MHz RFID Emissions Test, PBLI-6WHLEM.The
Spurious Emission measurements were made to determine the level of spurious
electromagnetic energy radiated from the EUT.

5.3.1 Test Procedure

A measurement antenna (loop) was positioned at a distance of 5 meters (to insure
far field measurements) from the center of the EUT. An EMI receiver was used for
the emissions measurements. Initial sweep measurements were taken with the
receiver in continuous frequency overview mode utilizing peak level signal
detection. Acceptance analysis of these sweeps was used to determine which
discrete frequencies, other than the intentional radiator frequency and band edge
frequencies were to be maximized. Maximizing a frequency involves finding the
angle of the highest emission levels by rotating the EUT 360 degrees (sampling at
least every 4 degrees). Then the antenna, which was fixed at 1-meter height, was
rotated until the highest emissions levels found. Final measurements were taken
utilizing quasi-peak detection. Measurement results were automatically calculated
via software running the EMI receiver. The final measurements recorded were
determined by the following formula:

Result (dBµV/m) = receiver level (µV) + antenna factor (dB/m) + cable loss (dB) -
preamp gain (dB) + lineal conversion (dB).

5.4 Spurious Emissions (30 to 1000 MHz.) 15.209/15.109

The EUT was placed in a semi-anechoic chamber for spurious emissions testing
in accordance with ANSI C63.4, FCC Part 15, Subpart C and 3M Test
Procedures: 13.56 MHz RFID Emissions Test, PBLI-6WHLEM and Radiated
Emissions Test (30 MHz – 1 GHz), PBLI-6SHLK2. The Spurious Emission
measurements were made to determine the level of spurious electromagnetic
energy radiated from the EUT while in the transmit mode.

5.4.1 Test Procedure

The EUT was placed on a 0.80 meter high wooden table in the center of a
turntable. An EMI receiver was used for the emissions measurements in the
range of 30MHz to 1000MHz. Initial measurements were taken with the receiver in
continuous frequency overview mode utilizing peak level signal detection. Peak
results were maximized at discrete frequencies utilizing quasi-peak detection.
Maximizing a frequency involves finding the angle of the highest emission levels
by rotating the EUT 360 degrees (sampling every 4 degrees) and varying the
antenna height between 1 and 4 meters at the angles of the highest emissions
levels found. Measurements were taken in both vertical and horizontal antenna
polarization. The final measurements recorded were determined by the following
formula:

Result (dBμV /m) = receiver level (μV) + antenna factor (dB/m) + cable loss (dB) -
preamp gain (dB) + lineal conversion (dB)
