Report Number: TRA-038923-45-02A 11 Radiated emissions 11.1 Definitions Spurious emissions Emissions on a frequency or frequencies, which are outside the necessary bandwidth and the level of which may be reduced without affecting the corresponding transmission of information. Spurious emissions include harmonic emissions, parasitic emissions, intermodulation products and frequency conversion products, but exclude out-of-band emissions. Restricted bands A frequency band in which intentional radiators are permitted to radiate only spurious emissions but not fundamental signals. 11.2 Test Parameters Test Location: Element Hull Test Chamber: Wireless Lab 2 Test Standard and Clause: ANSI C63.10-2013, Clause 6.5 and 6.6 EUT Frequency Measured: 433.42 MHz Deviations From Standard: None Measurement BW: 30 MHz to 1 GHz: 120 kHz; Above 1 GHz: 1 MHz Measurement Detector: RMS average and Peak Environmental Conditions (Normal Environment) Temperature: 16 °C +15 ºC to +35 ºC (as declared) Humidity: 33 % 20 % RH to 75 % RH (as declared) Supply: 3 Vdc As declared 11.3 Test Limit The limits on the field strength of the spurious emissions in the below table are based on the fundamental frequency of the intentional radiator. Spurious emissions shall be attenuated to the average (or, alternatively, CISPR quasi-peak) limits shown in this table or to the general limits shown in § 15.209, whichever limit permits a higher field strength. In addition, the field strength of emissions from intentional radiators shall not exceed the following limits: Field strength of Field strength of spurious Frequency fundamental emissions (MHz) (μV/m at 3 m) (μV/m at 3 m) 40.66-40.70 2,250 225 70-130 1,250 125 1 1,250 to 3,750 1 125 to 375 130-174 174-260 3,750 375 1 3,750 to 12,500 1 375 to 1,250 260-470 Above 470 5,000 500 1 Linear interpolations General Spurious Limits Frequency Field Strength (MHz) (μV/m at 3 m) 30 to 88 100 88 to 216 150 216 to 960 200 Above 960 500 Page 14 of 23

Report Number: TRA-038923-45-02A 11.4 Test Method With the EUT setup as per section 9 of this report and connected as per Figure i, the emissions from the EUT were measured on a spectrum analyzer / EMI receiver. Radiated electromagnetic emissions from the EUT are checked first by preview scans. Preview scans for all spectrum and modulation characteristics are checked, using a peak detector and where applicable worst-case determined for function, operation, orientation, etc. for both vertical and horizontal polarisations. Pre-scan plots are shown with a peak detector and 100 kHz RBW. If the EUT connects to auxiliary equipment and is table or floor standing, the configurations prescribed in ANSI C63.10 are followed. Alternatively, a layout closest to normal use (as declared by the provider) is employed, (see EUT setup photographs for more detail). Emissions between 30 MHz and 1 GHz are measured using calibrated broadband antennas. Emissions above 1 GHz are characterized using standard gain horn antennas. Pre-amplifiers and filters are used where required. Care is taken to ensure that test receiver resolution bandwidth, video bandwidth and detector type(s) meet the regulatory requirements. For both horizontal and vertical polarizations, the EUT is then rotated through 360 degrees in azimuth until the highest emission is detected. At the previously determined azimuth the test antenna is raised and lowered from 1 to 4 m in height until a maximum emission level is detected, this maximum value is recorded. Power values measured on the test receiver / analyzer are converted to field strength, FS, in dBμV/m at the regulatory distance, using: FS = PR + CL + AF – PA + DC – CF Where, PR is the power recorded on the receiver / spectrum analyzer in dBμV; CL is the cable loss in dB; AF is the test antenna factor in dB/m; PA is the pre-amplifier gain in dB (where used); DC is the duty correction factor in dB (where used, e.g. harmonics of pulsed fundamental); CF is the distance factor in dB (where measurement distance different to limit distance); This field strength value is then compared with the regulatory limit.

Report Number: TRA-038923-45-02A 15 General SAR test reduction & exclusion guidance KDB 447498 Section 4.3 General SAR test reduction and exclusion guidance For Standalone SAR exclusion consideration, when SAR Exclusion Threshold requirement in KDB 447498 is satisfied, standalone SAR evaluation for general population exposure conditions by measurement or numerical simulation is not required. The SAR Test Exclusion Threshold for 100 MHz to 6 GHz will be determined as follows. SAR Exclusion Threshold (SARET) = Step 1 + Step 2 Step 1 NT = [(MP/TSDA) * √ fGHz] NT = Numeric Threshold (3.0 for 1-g SAR and 7.5 for 10-g SAR) MP = Max Power of channel (mW) (including tune-up tolerance) TSDA = Min Test separation Distance or 50mm (whichever is lower) = 5mm (in this case) We can transpose this formula to allow us to find the maximum power of a channel allowed and compare this to the measured maximum power. = [(NT x TSDA) / √ fGHz] For Distances greater than 50 mm Step 2 applies Step 2 (TSDB – 50mm) * 10 Where: TSDB = Min Test separation Distance (mm) = 50 Note: Step 2 doesn’t apply here as the TSDA is less than 50 mm Operating Frequency 433.42 MHz SARET = [(3.0 x 5) / √0.43342] SARET = 22.78 mW Channel Frequency EIRP SAR Exclusion SAR Evaluation (MHz) (mW) Threshold (mW) 433.42 0.13 22.78 Not Required Note: EIRP is calculated from peak radiated field strength.
