3.2     Related Submittal(s) Grants

None.


3.3     Test Methodology

Both conducted and radiated emissions measurements were performed according to the procedures in ANSI
C63.4 (1992). Radiated tests were performed at an antenna to EUT distance of 3 meters, unless stated
otherwise in the "Data Sheet" of this Application. All other measurements were made in accordance with
the procedures in parts 2 and 15 of CFR 47.


3.4     Test Facility

The test facility is located at 1365 Adams Court, Menlo Park, California. Menlo Park is approximately 30
miles SE from San Francisco and 20 miles NW from San Jose. The geographic coordinates are 37° 28’
43” N Latitude and 122° 8’ 40” W Longitude. Elevation is 60 feet above sea level.

Radiated emission measurements were performed in a 10 meter Semi-Anechoic Chamber, referred to as
Site 1. Site 1 is a radio frequency semi-anechoic chamber / Alternate Test Site (ATS) intended to closely
simulate the measurement environment as established for the Open Area test Site (OATS). The chamber
is a shielded enclosure used to control and maintain a predictable EMI environment within the test region.
 A lining of RF absorbing material (Absorber) and other anechoic materials are installed over all interior
wall and ceiling surfaces as to completely shroud exposed metallic components and disrupt reflective
properties. The ground plane is an exposed RF reflective surface. The turntable is flush mounted, 3
meters in diameter, and remotely controlled. The antenna mast can be positioned at 3 or 10 meters away
from the turntable. The antenna mast is remote controlled and can lower/raise an antenna between 1 – 4
meters. The antenna mast can also rotate between horizontal and vertical polarizations. The site meets the
characteristics of ANSI C63.4 and is registered with the FCC.

4.3     Justification

For emission testing, the Equipment Under Test (EUT) was configured for testing in a typical fashion (as a
customer would normally use it). During testing, all cables were manipulated to produce worst-case
emissions.

For radiated emission measurements, the EUT is attached to a cardboard box (if necessary) and placed on the
wooden turntable. If the EUT attaches to peripherals, they are connected and operational (as typical as
possible). The EUT is wired to transmit full power.

The signal is maximized through rotation and placement in the three orthogonal axes. The antenna height and
polarization are varied during the search for maximum signal level. The antenna height is varied from 1 to 4
meters.

Radiated emissions are taken at three meters unless the signal level is too low for measurement at that
distance. If necessary, a pre-amplifier is used and/or the test is conducted at a closer distance. All readings are
extrapolated back to the equivalent three-meter reading using inverse scaling with distance.

Care was taken to ensure proper power supply voltages during testing.

Field Strength Calculation

The field strength is calculated by adding the Antenna Factor and Cable Factor, and subtracting the Amplifier
Gain (if any) from the measured reading. The basic equation with a sample calculation is as follows:

FS = RA + AF + CF - AG
Where FS = Field Strength in dB(µV/m)
              RA = Receiver Amplitude (including preamplifier) in dB(µV)
              CF = Cable Attenuation Factor in dB
              AF = Antenna Factor in dB(1/m)
              AG = Amplifier Gain in dB

Assume a receiver reading of 52.0 dB(µV) is obtained. The antenna factor of 7.4 dB(1/m) and cable
factor of 1.6 dB is added. The amplifier gain of 29 dB is subtracted, giving field strength of 32
dB(µV/m). This value in dB(µV/m) was converted to Intertek corresponding level in µV/m.
RA = 52.0 dB(µV); CF = 1.6 dB; AF = 7.4 dB(1/m); AG = 29.0 dB
FS = 52 + 7.4 + 1.6 - 29 = 32 dB(µV/m)
Level in µV/m = Common Antilogarithm [(32 dB(µV/m)/20] = 39.8 µV/m

4.4     Software Exercise Program

The EUT exercise program used during radiated and conducted testing was designed to exercise the various
system components in a manner similar to a typical use. For emissions testing, the units were setup to
transmit continuously to simplify the measurement methodology.

4.5     Mode of operation during test

Continuously transmitting signal on different channels.

4.6     Modifications required for Compliance

Intertek installed no modifications during compliance testing in order to bring the product into compliance.

4.7     Additions, deviations and exclusions from standards

No additions, deviations or exclusion have been made from standard.

5.0       RLAN Test
          FCC Rule: 15.247

5.1       EIRP measurement

Requirement

There is no requirement for EIRP, however, as the transmitter does not have accessible antenna connector,
alternative method for conducted RF power output measurement is used.

Procedure

The EUT is powered from a fully charged battery.

The EUT is placed on a non-conductive turntable, 0.8m above the ground plane, in the 10m semi-
anechoic chamber.

The radiated emission at the fundamental frequency is measured at 3m distance with a receiving antenna
connected to a spectrum analyzer. The emission level is maximized through the rotation of the turntable and
by raising/lowering the receiving antenna from 1m to 4m. The highest spectrum analyzer reading (U in
dBm) is recorded using the same setup as described in section 2.1.

EIRP is measured using the substitution method. The EUT is replaced by horn antenna connected to a signal
generator. The emission level is maximized through the rotation of the turntable and the raising and lowering
of the receiving antenna from 1m to 4 m. On each channel the signal generator output is adjusted to obtain the
previously recorded spectrum analyzer reading (U in dBm). The Power of the signal generator (Vg in dBm) on
the end of the cable is recorded.

EIRP (in dBm) is calculated as: EIRP = Vg + G, where G is the transmitting antenna gain (in dBi).

Conducted RF output power (in dBm) is calculated as: EIRP – AG, where AG is the gain of the transmitting
antenna of the EUT (in dBi).

5.2     Radiated emission measurement
        FCC Rule: 15.247(c)

Requirement

Radiated emissions which fall in the restricted bands, must comply with the radiated emission limits specified
in 15.209.

Procedure

The EUT is powered from a fully charged battery.

The measuring antenna is placed at a distance of 3 meters from the EUT. During the tests, the EUT azimuth
is varied and the antenna height is adjusted from 1m – 4m in the horizontal and vertical polarization in order
to identify the maximum level of emissions from the EUT.

The frequency ranges up to tenth harmonic of each of the three fundamental frequencies (low, middle, and
high channels). The tests are performed with the EUT positioned in three orthogonal axes. The worst-case
emissions are reported.


Test Result

The data listed on the following tables list the significant emission frequencies in the restricted bands, the
limit and the margin of compliance. The EUT passed by 2.6 dB.

The data listed on the following tables were the only emissions found in the investigation up to 25 GHz. No
other emissions were found above the system noise floor, which is at least 6 dB below the regulatory limit.

No emissions from the fundamental transmit frequencies were detected in the restricted bands listed in FCC
section 15.205.

All radiated spurious emissions in the restricted bands, including the emissions in the adjacent channels, are
below the limits listed in FCC section 15.205.

is varied and the antenna height is adjusted from 1m – 4m in the horizontal and vertical polarization in order
to identify the maximum level of emissions from the EUT.

The frequency ranges up to tenth harmonic of each of the three fundamental frequencies (low, middle, and
high channels). The tests are performed with the EUT positioned in three orthogonal axes. The worst-case
emissions are reported.


Test Result

The data listed on the following tables list the significant emission frequencies in the restricted bands, the
limit and the margin of compliance. The EUT passed by 14.3 dB.

The data listed on the following tables were the only emissions found in the investigation up to 25 GHz. No
other emissions were found above the system noise floor, which is at least 6 dB below the regulatory limit.

No emissions from the fundamental transmit frequencies were detected in the restricted bands listed in FCC
section 15.205.

All radiated spurious emissions in the restricted bands, including the emissions in the adjacent channels,
are below the limits listed in FCC section 15.205.

7.0     CDMA RF Modem tests

7.1     ERP/EIRP measurement
        FCC Rule: 22.913, 24.232

Requirement

        FCC 22.913

        The Effective Radiated Power (ERP) of mobile transmitters and auxiliary test transmitters must not
        exceed 7 Watts.

        FCC 24.232

        The Equivalent Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) must not exceed 2 Watts.

Procedure

The EUT is powered from a fully charged battery.

The EUT is placed on a non-conductive turntable, 0.8m above the ground plane, in the 10m semi-
anechoic chamber.

The radiated emission at the fundamental frequency is measured at 3m distance with a receiving antenna
connected to a spectrum analyzer. The emission level is maximized through the rotation of the turntable and
by raising/lowering the receiving antenna from 1m to 4m. The highest spectrum analyzer reading (U in
dBm) is recorded using the same setup as described in section 2.1.

ERP in the frequency band 824 - 849 MHz, and EIRP in the frequency band 1851.25 - 1910 MHz are
measured using the substitution method. The EUT is replaced by half-wave dipole (824 - 849 MHz) or horn
antenna (1851.25 - 1908.75 MHz) connected to a signal generator. The emission level is maximized through
the rotation of the turntable and the raising and lowering of the receiving antenna from 1m to 4 m. On each
channel the signal generator output is adjusted to obtain the previously recorded spectrum analyzer reading (U
in dBm). The Power of the signal generator (Vg in dBm) on the end of the cable is recorded.

ERP/EIRP (in dBm) is calculated as:

        ERP = Vg ; EIRP = Vg + G

Where G is the transmitting antenna gain (in dBi).

7.2     Spurious radiated emission measurement
        FCC Rule: 2.1053, 22.901(d), 24.238(a)

Requirement

The mean power of emissions must be attenuated below the mean power of the unmodulated carrier (P) on
any frequency outside the frequency band by at least (43 + 10 log P) dB.
Note: This requirement corresponds to ERP/EIRP Limit for spurious radiation as –13 dBm.

Procedure

The EUT is powered from a fully charged battery.

The measuring antenna is placed at a distance of 3 meters from the EUT. During the tests, the EUT azimuth
is varied and the antenna height is adjusted from 1m – 4m in the horizontal and vertical polarization in order
to identify the maximum level of emissions from the EUT.

The frequency ranges up to tenth harmonic of each of the three fundamental frequencies (low, middle, and
high channels) for each band (cellular and PCS) are investigated. The tests are performed with the EUT
positioned in three orthogonal axes. The worst-case emissions are reported.

For spurious emissions attenuation, the substitution method is used. The EUT is substituted by a reference
antenna (half-wave dipole - below 1 GHz, or Horn antenna - above 1GHz) which is connected to a signal
generator (SG). The signal generator output was adjusted to obtain the same reading from the measuring
antenna as from EUT. The ERP/EIRP at the spurious emissions frequency is calculated in the same manner
referred to in section 7.1 of this report. The spurious emissions attenuation is calculated as the difference
between ERP/EIRP at the fundamental frequency (refer to section 7.1 of this report) and at the spurious
emissions frequency.

Appendix A – Duty Cycle Calculation for BT module


The test mode being used for BT emissions is the DH5 Packet on a fixed channel.

In accordance with FCC Public Notice DA 00-705, Released 30th March 2003, Section 15.247(c)
Spurious Radiated Emissions, if the dwell time per channel of the hopping signal is less than 100ms, then
the reading obtained with the 10Hz VBW may be further adjusted by a duty cycle correction factor,
derived from 20log(dwell time/100ms).

In an effort to demonstrate compliance with the 15.209 limit, the following adjustment has been
calculated for use with Average Measurements only:

Dwell Time = 5.81 ms this is derived from:

Total slot time per time slot for DH5 packet 625µs x 5 = 3.125 ms
Actual transmit time during this time slot is 2.905 ms and the reply time slot after each DH5 packet is
625 µs.
Total time slot length per channel 3.125 + 0.625 = 3.75 ms.

Multiply Total time slot length per channel by 32 channels per hop sequence 32 x 3.75 = 120 ms

It is therefore possible to have a maximum of two hop sequences in any given 100 ms period, a single
channel could occur twice within any 100ms time window; 2 x 2.905 = 5.81 ms

Therefore; the Bluetooth Duty Cycle Correction Factor for the EUT is 20Log(5.81/100) = -24.7dB

This correction factor may be applied to all Average Measurements related to the FH signal.
