Report Number: R20181130-20-10 Rev A Prepared for: Garmin Annex B: Sample Field Strength Calculation Radiated Emissions The field strength is calculated in decibels (dB) 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 = R + AF – (-CF + AG) where FS = Field Strength R = Receiver Amplitude Receiver reading in dBµV AF = Antenna Factor CF = Cable Attenuation Factor AG = Preamplifier Amplifier Gain Assume a receiver reading of 55.00 dBV is obtained. The Antenna Factor of 12.00 and a Cable Factor of 1.10 is added. The Amplifier Gain of 20 dB is subtracted, giving a field strength of 48.10 dBV/m. FS = 55.00 + 12.00 – (-1.10 + 20.00) = 48.1 dBV/m The 48.1 dBV/m value can be mathematically converted to its corresponding level in V/m. Level in V/m = Common Antilogarithm [(48.1 dBV/m)/20]= 254.1 V/m Conducted Emissions Receiver readings are compared directly to the conducted emissions limits in decibels (dB) by adding the cable loss and LISN insertion loss to the receiver reading. The basic equations with a sample calculation is as follows; FS = R + IL – (-CF) where V = Conducted Emissions Voltage Measurement R = Receiver reading in dBµV The Nebraska Center for Excellence in Electronics 4740 Discovery Drive Lincoln, NE 68521 Page 21 of 23

Report Number: R20181130-20-10 Rev A Prepared for: Garmin IL = LISN Insertion Loss CF = Cable Attenuation Factor Assume a receiver reading of 52.00 dBV is obtained. The LISN insertion loss of 0.80 dB and a Cable Factor of 1.10 is added. The Amplifier Gain of 20 dB is subtracted, giving a field strength of 48.1 dBV/m. V = 52.00 + 0.80 – (-1.10) = 53.90 dBV/m The 53.90 dBV/m value can be mathematically converted to its corresponding level in V/m. Level in V/m = Common Antilogarithm [(48.1 dBV/m)/20]= 495.45 V/m *Note: NCEE Labs uses the Rohde and Schwarz ES-K1 software package. In this software, all cable losses are listed as negative. This is why cable loss is subtracting in the preceding equations. Margin is calculated by taking the limit and subtracting the Field The Nebraska Center for Excellence in Electronics 4740 Discovery Drive Lincoln, NE 68521 Page 22 of 23
