2.0        Electromagnetic Emissions Testing

Professional Testing (EMI), Inc. (PTI), follows the guidelines of NIST for all uncertainty
calculations, estimates and expressions thereof for EMC testing.

2.1        Radiated Emissions Measurements

Radiated emission measurements were made of the Fundamental and Spurious Emission levels
for FMT1. Measurements of the occupied bandwidth were also made for the EUT.

Measurements of the maximum emission levels for the spurious/harmonic emissions of the
FMT1 were made at the Professional Testing 10 meter chamber “Site 45”, located in Austin,
Texas to determine the radio noise radiated from the EUT. A “Description of Measurement
Facilities” has been submitted to the FCC and approved pursuant to Section 2.948 of CFR 47 of
the FCC rules. The test site number for Industry Canada is 3036A-1.

Tests of the fundamental for the device were performed to determine the worst case polarization
of the devices. The fundamental emissions of the device were measured with the antenna of the
device in horizontal and vertical polarization.

2.1.1      Test Procedure

The EUT was placed on a non-conductive table 0.8 meters above the ground plane. The table
was centered on a motorized turntable which allows 360 degree rotation. For measurements of
the fundamental signal, a measurement antenna was positioned at a distance of 3 meters as
measured from the closest point of the EUT. The radiated emissions were maximized by
rotating the EUT.

A Spectrum Analyzer with peak detection was used to find the maximums of the radiated
emissions during the variability testing. A drawing showing the test setup is given as Figure 2.

2.1.2      Test Criteria

The table below shows FCC radiated limits for an intentional radiator operating under the
provisions of part 15.239. The measurement of the harmonics was performed to the tenth
harmonic (1.08 GHz). The reference distance for each limit is also shown in this table.

Note: Fundamental and Harmonic Limits are expressed in Average field strengths. The
spurious limits are expressed in Quasi-Peak.

2.1.3      Test Results

The radiated test data for the fundamental is included in Appendix A. Peak detection was used
during the test for the fundamental and harmonics. Quasi-Peak detection was used for spurious
emissions below 1 GHz. Peak detection was used for spurious emissions above 1 GHz. The
radiated emission test data is included in Appendix A. The radiated emissions generated by the
FMT1 are below the FCC and IC limits.

3.0        Occupied Bandwidth Measurements

Measurements of the occupied bandwidth for the fundamental signals were made at Professional
Testing Round Rock, Texas site. All measurements were made in a controlled indoor
environment in a configuration which did not present measurement distortion or ambient
interference.

3.1        Test Procedure

The EUT was placed on a non-conductive table 0.8 meters above the floor. The table was
rotated to an angle which presented the highest signal level. The occupied bandwidth was based
on a 26 dB criteria (26 dB down either side of the emission from the peak emission). A drawing
showing the test setup is given as Figure 1.

3.2        Test Criteria

According to FCC Part 15.239, the bandwidth of the emission shall be less than 200 kHz.

3.3        Test Results

The occupied bandwidth test data is included in Appendix A. The maximum occupied bandwidth
for the fundamental frequency 88.1 MHz is 187.7 kHz. This occupied bandwidth complies with
the FCC and IC requirement.

4.0        Antenna Requirement

An analysis of the FMT1 was performed to determine compliance with FCC Section 15.203.
This section requires specific handling and control of antennas used for devices subject to
regulations.

4.1        Evaluation Procedure

The structure and application of the FMT1 was analyzed with respect to the rules. The antenna
is an internal antenna, and is not accessible to the user. An auxiliary antenna port is not present.




Professional Testing (EMI), Inc.             Project 08170-10                             Page 7 of 14


4.2          Evaluation Criteria

Section 15.203 of the rules states that the subject device must meet at least one of the following
criteria:

(a)          Antenna must be permanently attached to the unit.

(b)          Antenna must use a unique type of connector to attach to the EUT.

(c)          Unit must be professionally installed. Installer shall be responsible for verifying that
             the correct antenna is employed with the unit.


4.3          Evaluation Results

The FMT1 meets the criteria of this rule by virtue of having an internal antenna inaccessible to
the user. The EUT is therefore compliant.

5.0          Modifications to Equipment

No modifications made.
