2.2     Exercising the EUT

The EUT is a watch with a touch screen capability and one manual button on the right side. The EUT was
supplied with test firmware programmed with modulation types and rates. The EUT was tested in all three
orthogonal planes in order to determine worst-case emissions. The EUT was provided with software to
continuously transmit during testing. The carrier was also checked to verify that information was being
transmitted. An NFC card was provided to be placed near the EUT for proper normal operating mode. The
NFC card has a blue LED that would light when placed in close proximity to the EUT.

3     AC Conducted Emissions - FCC 15.207

3.1     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.

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.”

         20 * log(15,848) = 84.0 dBµV/m at 30 m.

15.225(d) stated “The field strength of any emissions appearing outside of the 13.110– 14.010 MHz band
shall not exceed the general radiated emission limits in §15.209.”

4.2     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 MHz 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.
4.3     Measurement Uncertainty

Measurement uncertainties shown for these tests are expanded uncertainties expressed at 95% confidence
level using a coverage factor k = 2.

5     Occupied Bandwidth – FCC Part 2.1049

5.1     99% Bandwidth Test Procedure

The 99% bandwidths per FCC Part 2.1049 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.

5.2     Measurement Uncertainty

Measurement uncertainties shown for these tests are expanded uncertainties expressed at 95% confidence
level using a coverage factor k = 2.

6     Frequency Stability – FCC 2.1055, 15.225(e)

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 ± 0.01 % 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.

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.

6.2     Measurement Uncertainty

Measurement uncertainties shown for these tests are expanded uncertainties expressed at 95% confidence
level using a coverage factor k = 2.

Frequency Stability:      ±1.0 dB
