 2.2     Exercising the EUT

 The EUT was supplied with test firmware programmed with modulation types and rates. The EUT was

 with software to continuously transmit during testing. The carrier was also checked to verify that information
 was being transmitted.

 As shown in 15.35(b), for frequencies above 1000 MHz, the field strength limits are based on average
 detector however, the peak field strength of any emission shall not exceed the maximum permitted average
 limits specified above by more than 99% under any circumstances of modulation.

 15.225(a) states “The field strength of any emissions within the band 13.553–13.567 MHz shall not exceed
 15,848 microvolts/meter at 30 meters.”

 20log(15,848)=84 dBuV/m at 30 m

 3.2     Radiated Emissions Measurement Test Procedure

 Before final measurements of radiated emissions were made on the open-field three/ten meter range, the
 EUT was scanned indoors at one and three meter distances. This was done in order to determine its
 emissions spectrum signature. The physical arrangement of the test system and associated cabling was
 varied in order to determine the effect on the EUT's emissions in amplitude, direction and frequency. This
 process was repeated during final radiated emissions measurements on the open-field range, at each
 frequency, in order to ensure that maximum emission amplitudes were attained.

 Final radiated emissions measurements were made on the three/ten-meter, open-field test site. The EUT
 was placed on a nonconductive turntable 0.8 meters above the ground plane. The spectrum was examined
 from 9 kHz to the 10th harmonic of the highest fundamental transmitter frequency (135.6 MHz).

 At each frequency, the EUT was rotated 360°, and the antenna was raised and lowered from 1 to 4 meters
 in order to determine the emission’s maximum level. Measurements were taken using both horizontal and
 vertical antenna polarizations. For frequencies between 30 and 1000 MHz, the spectrum analyzer’s 6 dB
 bandwidth was set to 120 kHz, and the analyzer was operated in the CISPR quasi-peak detection mode.
 For emissions above 1000 MHz, emissions are measured using the average detector function with a
 minimum resolution bandwidth of 1 MHz. No video filter less than 10 times the resolution bandwidth was
 used. The highest emission amplitudes relative to the appropriate limit were measured and recorded in this
 report.

 Note:    Levels were extrapolated to 30 m from 1 m (-59.1dB)

 Part 15.225 (a), (b), and (c) state:

       The field strength of any emissions within the band 13.553–13.567 MHz shall not exceed 15,848
       microvolts/meter at 30 meters.

       Within the bands 13.410-13.553 MHz and 13.567-13.710 MHz, the field strength of any emissions
       shall not exceed 334 microvolts/meter at 30 meters.

       Within the bands 13.110-13.410 MHz and 13.710-14.010 MHz the field strength of any emissions
       shall not exceed 106 microvolts/meter at 30 meters.

 The 30 meter readings were interpolated from 1 meter by subtracting 40 log (30m/1m) from the field
 strength.

 The corrected measured fundamental levels in Table 3-1 are less than Part 15.225(b) and (c).

 4     AC Conducted Emissions - FCC 15.207; IC RSS-Gen 8.8: Conducted Limits

 4.1     Site and Test Description

 The power line conducted emissions measurements were performed in a Series 81 type shielded enclosure
 manufactured by Rayproof. The EUT was assembled on a wooden table 80 centimeters high. Power was
 fed to the EUT through a 50-ohm/50 microhenry Line Impedance Stabilization Network (LISN). The EUT
 LISN was fed power through an A.C. filter box on the outside of the shielded enclosure. The filter box and
 EUT LISN housing are bonded to the ground plane of the shielded enclosure. A second LISN, the
 peripheral LISN, provides isolation for the EUT test peripherals. This peripheral LISN was also fed A.C.
 power. A metal power outlet box, which is bonded to the ground plane and electrically connected to the
 peripheral LISN, powers the EUT host peripherals.

 The spectrum analyzer was connected to the AC line through an isolation transformer. The 50-ohm output
 of the EUT LISN was connected to the spectrum analyzer input through a Solar 100 kHz high-pass filter.
 The filter is used to prevent overload of the spectrum analyzer from noise below 100 kHz. Conducted
 emission levels were measured on each current-carrying line with the spectrum analyzer operating in the
 CISPR quasi-peak mode (or peak mode if applicable).

 The analyzer's 6 dB bandwidth was set to 9 kHz. Video filter less than 10 times the resolution bandwidth is
 not used. Average measurements are performed in linear mode using a 10 kHz resolution bandwidth, a 1
 Hz video bandwidth, and by increasing the sweep time in order to obtain a calibrated measurement. The
 emission spectrum was scanned from 150 kHz to 30 MHz. The highest emission amplitudes relative to the
 appropriate limits were measured and have been recorded.

 5     Occupied Bandwidth – IC RSS-Gen 6.6

 5.1     99% Bandwidth Test Procedure

 The 99% bandwidths per RSS-Gen 6.6 were measured using a 50-ohm spectrum analyzer. The modulated
 carrier was adjusted on the analyzer so that it was displayed entirely on the spectrum analyzer. The sweep
 time was auto and allowed through several sweeps with the max hold function used in peak detector mode.

 • The transmitter shall be operated at its maximum carrier power measured under normal test conditions.
 • The span of the analyzer shall be set to capture all products of the modulation process, including the
 emission skirts.
 • The resolution bandwidth (RBW) shall be in the range of 1% to 5% of the occupied bandwidth (OBW) and
 video bandwidth (VBW) shall be approximately 3x RBW.

 Note: Video averaging is not permitted.

 6 Frequency Stability – FCC 2.1055, 15.225(e): Frequency Stability; IC RSS-210 B.6 Transmitter
  Frequency Stability

 6.1   Test Procedure

 The carrier frequency stability is the ability of the transmitter to maintain an assigned carrier frequency.

 15.255(e): The frequency tolerance of the carrier signal shall be maintained within ± .01% of the operating
 frequency over a temperature variation of -20°C to +50°C at normal supply voltage, and for a variation in
 the primary supply voltage from 85% to 115% of the rated supply voltage at a temperature of 20°C. For
 battery-operated equipment, the equipment tests shall be performed using a new battery.

 IC RSS-210 B.6: Carrier frequency stability shall be maintained to ±0.01% (±100 ppm).

 The EUT was evaluated over the temperature range -20°C to +50°C.

 The temperature was initially set to -20°C and a 1-hour period was observed for stabilization of the EUT.
 The frequency stability was measured within one minute after application of primary power to the
 transmitter. The temperature was raised at intervals of 10 degrees centigrade through the range. A ½-hour
 period was observed to stabilize the EUT at each measurement step and the frequency stability was
 measured within one minute after application of primary power to the transmitter. Additionally, the power
 supply voltage of the EUT was varied +/-15% nominal input voltage.
