3     Emissions
3.1     General Test Procedures
3.1.1    Radiated Test Setup and Procedures
Radiated electromagnetic emissions from the EUT are first pre-scanned in our shielded anechoic chamber or GTEM
test cell. Spectrum and modulation characteristics of all emissions are recorded. Instrumentation, including spectrum
analyzers and other test equipment as detailed in Section 1.2 are employed. After pre-scan, emission measurements
are made on the test site of record. If the EUT connects to auxiliary equipment and is table or floor standing, the
configurations prescribed in relevant test standards are followed. Alternatively, a layout closest to normal use (as
declared by the provider) is employed if the resulting emissions appear to be worst-case in such a configuration. See
Figure 3. All intentionally radiating elements that are not fixed-mounted in use are placed on the test table lying
flat, on their side, and on their end (3-axes) and the resulting worst case emissions are recorded. If the EUT is
fixed-mounted in use, measurements are made with the device oriented in the manner consistent with installation
and then emissions are recorded.

                                   Figure 3: Radiated Emissions Diagram of the EUT.

    If the EUT exhibits spurious emissions due to internal receiver circuitry, such emissions are measured with an
appropriate carrier signal applied. For devices with intentional emissions below 30 MHz, a shielded loop antenna is
used. It is placed at a 1 meter receive height. Emissions between 30 MHz and 1 GHz are measured using tuned dipoles
and/or calibrated broadband antennas. For both horizontal and vertical polarizations, the test antenna is raised and
lowered from 1 to 4 m in height until a maximum emission level is detected. The EUT is then rotated through 360o
in azimuth until the highest emission is detected. The test antenna is then raised and lowered one last time from
1 to 4 m and the worst case value is recorded. Emissions above 1 GHz are characterized using standard gain horn
or broadband ridge-horn antennas on our OATS with a 4 × 5 m rectangle of H-4 absorber placed over the ground
screen covering the OATS ground screen. Care is taken to ensure that test receiver resolution and video bandwidths
meet the regulatory requirements, and that the emission bandwidth of the EUT is not reduced. Photographs of the
test setup employed are depicted in Figure 4.
    Where regulations allow for direct measurement of field strength, power values (dBm) measured on the test
receiver / analyzer are converted to dBµV/m at the regulatory distance, using
                                           Edist = 107 + PR + KA − KG + KE − CF
where PR is the power recorded on spectrum analyzer, in dBm, KA is the test antenna factor in dB/m, KG is the
combined pre-amplifier gain and cable loss in dB, KE is duty correction factor (when applicable) in dB, and CF is
a distance conversion (employed only if limits are specified at alternate distance) in dB. This field strength value is
then compared with the regulatory limit. If effective isotropic radiated power (EIRP) is computed, it is computed as
                                             EIRP (dBm) = E3m (dBµV /m) − 95.2.
When presenting data at each frequency, the highest measured emission under all possible EUT orientations (3-axes)
is reported.

3.1.2   Conducted Emissions Test Setup and Procedures
Vehicle Power Conducted Spurious The EUT is not subject to power line conducted emissions regulations as
it is powered solely by the vehicle power system for use in said motor vehicle.

3.1.3   Power Supply Variation
Tests at extreme supply voltages are made if required by the the procedures specified in the test standard, and results
of this testing are detailed in this report.

3.1.4   Thermal Variation
Tests at extreme temperatures are made if required by the procedures specified in the test standard, and results
of this testing are detailed in this report. The provider has declared that the EUT is designed for operation over
the temperature range Not Declared. Before any temperature measurements are made, the equipment is allowed to
reach a thermal balance in the test chamber, temperature and humidity are recorded, and thermal balance is verified
via a thermocouple–based probe.

3.2       Unintentional Emissions
3.2.1        Radiated Receiver Spurious
The results for the measurement of radiated receiver spurious emissions (emissions arrising from the receiver chain,
e.g. LO or VCO) at the nominal voltage and temperature are reported in Table 4. Receive chain emissions are
measured to 5 times the highest receive chain frequency employed or 4 GHz, whichever is higher. If no emissions are
detected, only those noise floor emissions at the LO/VCO frequency are reported.

4    Measurement Uncertainty
The maximum values of measurement uncertainty for the laboratory test equipment and facilities associated with
each test are given in the table below. This uncertainty is computed for a 95.45% confidence level based on a coverage
factor of k = 2.

                                           Table 5: Measurement Uncertainty.
