3. SYSTEM TEST CONFIGURATION
3.1 Justification

The system was configured for testing in a typical fashion (as a customer would normally use it).
Customized antenna on PCB was used.
Testing was performed as EUT was continuously operated at the following frequency channels:
Low=908.42MHz, High=916MHz.

Fresh external battery was used for extended operating time. However, EUT was checked with the
internal battery and it was confirmed that the readings obtained with the fresh external battery
remain representative of the device as marketed.

5. RADIATED EMISSION DATA

5.1 Field Strength Calculation
The corrected field strength is automatically calculated by EMI Receiver using following:
                                          FS = RA +AF + CF + AG

where FS: Corrected Field Strength in dBV/m
      RA: Amplitude of EMI Receiver before correction in dBV
      AF: Antenna Factor in dB/m
      CF: Cable Attenuation Factor in dB
      AG: Built-in Preamplifier Gain in dB (Stored in receiver as part of the calibration data)

5.2 Test Methods and Conditions

The initial step in collecting radiated data is a EMI Receiver scan of the measurement range below
30MHz using peak detector and 9KHz IF bandwidth / 30KHz video bandwidth. For the range
30MHz - 1GHz, 100KHz IF bandwidth / 100KHz video bandwidth are used. Both bandwidths are
1MHz for above 1GHz measurement. The frequency range from 9KHz up to 10th harmonics were
investigated.

5.3 Test Data

The following data lists the significant emission frequencies, polarity and position, peak reading of
the EMI Receiver, the FCC limit, and the difference between the peak reading and the limit.
Explanation of the correction and calculation are given in section 5.1.

(1) The limit for emissions within the 902-928MHz band is 50mV(94dB) per FCC Sec. 15.249 & IC RSS-210 Annex
2.9. The limit for its harmonics is 500uV (54dB). Other spurious emissions shall be lower than either its fundamental
by 50dB or the limit defined in Sec. 15.209, whichever is higher.
(2) If the peak reading is less than the FCC/IC quasi-peak or average limit, it’ll be not necessary to show the
measured/ calculated quasi-peak or average reading.
(3) For above 1GHz range, peak reading shall meet the limit: average Limit+20dB.
