TEST PROCEDURE

Power Line Conducted Interference: The procedure used was ANSI/TIA 603-
D:2010, using a 50uH LISN. Both lines were observed with the EUT transmitting.
The bandwidth of the spectrum analyzer was 10 kHz with an appropriate sweep
speed.

Bandwidth 20 dB:          The measurements were made with the spectrum
analyzer's resolution bandwidth (RBW) = 1 MHz and the video bandwidth (VBW) =
3 MHz and the span set as shown on plot.

Power Output: The RF power output was measured at the antenna feed point
using a peak power meter.

Antenna Conducted Emissions: The RBW = 100 kHz, VBW = 300 kHz and the
span set to 10.0 MHz and the spectrum was scanned from 30 MHz to the 10th
harmonic of the fundamental. Above 1 GHz the resolution bandwidth was 1 MHz
and the VBW = 3 MHz and the span to 50 MHz.

Radiation Interference: The test procedure used was ANSI/TIA 603-D:2010,
using an Rohde & Schwarz – EMI test receiver. The bandwidth (RBW) of the
spectrum receiver was 100 kHz up to 1 GHz and 1 MHz above 1 GHz with an
appropriate sweep speed. The VBW above 1 GHz was 3 MHz. The analyzer was
calibrated in dB above a microvolt at the output of the antenna.

RF POWER OUTPUT

Rule Part No.:      Part 2.1046(a), Part 90

Test Requirements: Manufacturer’s Specification

Method of Measurement:          RF power is measured by using a 50-ohm, resistive
wattmeter to the RF output connector. With a nominal battery voltage (if battery
operated), or a properly adjusted power supply (if not battery operated), and the
transmitter properly adjusted the RF output measures:

For the device with a fixed or integral antenna, the RF power is measured as ERP.
The substitution method was used. The RF output measures:

TRANSIENT FREQUENCY BEHAVIOR


      TEST PROCEEDURE: ANSI/TIA 603-D, the levels were set as follows:

                1.   Using the variable attenuator set the transmitter level was set to 40 dB
                     below the test receivers maximum input level, then the transmitter was
                     turned off.
                2.   With the transmitter off the signal generator was set 20dB below the
                     level of the transmitter in the above step, this level will be maintained
                     with the signal generator through-out the test.
                3.   Reduce the attenuation between the transmitter and the RF detector by
                     30 dB.
                4.   With the levels set as above, the transient frequency behavior was
                     observed and recorded.
