Model: 2381GATE FCC ID: JEH2381GATE IC: 470B-2381GATE 2.3 Radiated Emissions Test Site Description 2.3.1 Semi-Anechoic Chamber Test Site The Semi-Anechoic Chamber Test Site consists of a 20’ x 30’ x 18’ shielded enclosure. The chamber is lined with Toyo Ferrite Grid Absorber, model number FFG-1000. The ferrite tile grid is 101 x 101 x 19mm thick and weighs approximately 550 grams. These tiles are mounted on steel panels and installed directly on the inner walls of the chamber. The turntable is 150cm in diameter and is located 160cm from the back wall of the chamber. The chamber is grounded via 1 - 8’ copper ground rod, installed at the center of the back wall, it is bound to the ground plane using 3/4" stainless steel braided cable. The turntable is all steel, flush mounted table installed in an all steel frame. The table is remotely operated from inside the control room located 25’ from the range. The turntable is electrically bonded to the surrounding ground plane via steel fingers installed on the edge of the turn table. The steel fingers make constant contact with the ground plane during operation. Behind the turntable is a 3’ x 6’ x 4’ deep shielded pit used for support equipment if necessary. The pit is equipped with 1 - 4” PVC chases from the turntable to the pit that allow for cabling to the EUT if necessary. The underside of the turntable can be accessed from the pit so cables can be supplied to the EUT from the pit. A diagram of the Semi-Anechoic Chamber Test Site is shown in Figure 2.3-1 below: 3 Meters 5 Feet Diameter 20 Feet 30 Feet Figure 2.3-1: Semi-Anechoic Chamber Test Site ACS Report: 10-0325.W06.11.A Advanced Compliance Solutions Page 5

Model: 2381GATE FCC ID: JEH2381GATE IC: 470B-2381GATE 2.3.2 Open Area Tests Site (OATS) The open area test site consists of a 40’ x 66’ concrete pad covered with a perforated electro-plated galvanized sheet metal. The perforations in the sheet metal are 1/8” holes that are staggered every 3/16”. The individual sheets are placed to overlap each other by 1/4” and are riveted together to provide a continuous seam. Rivets are spaced every 3” in a 3 x 20 meter perimeter around the antenna mast and EUT area. Rivets in the remaining area are spaced as necessary to properly secure the ground plane and maintain the electrical continuity. The entire ground plane extends 12’ beyond the turntable edge and 16’ beyond the antenna mast when set to a 10 meter measurement distance. The ground plane is grounded via 4 - 8’ copper ground rods, each installed at a corner of the ground plane and bound to the ground plane using 3/4" stainless steel braided cable. The turntable is an all aluminum 10’ flush mounted table installed in an all aluminum frame. The table is remotely operated from inside the control room located 40’ from the range. The turntable is electrically bonded to the surrounding ground plane via steel fingers installed on the edge of the turn table. The steel fingers make constant contact with the ground plane during operation. Adjacent to the turntable is a 7’ x 7’ square and 4’ deep concrete pit used for support equipment if necessary. The pit is equipped with 5 - 4” PVC chases from the pit to the control room that allow for cabling to the EUT if necessary. The underside of the turntable can be accessed from the pit so cables can be supplied to the EUT from the pit. The pit is covered with 2 sheets of 1/4" diamond style re- enforced steel sheets. The sheets are painted to match the perforated steel ground plane; however the underside edges have been masked off to maintain the electrical continuity of the ground plane. All reflecting objects are located outside of the ellipse defined in ANSI C63.4. A diagram of the Open Area Test Site is shown in Figure 2.3-2 below: 10 3 Meters 40 7x7x4 Pit 66 Feet Figure 2.3-2: Open Area Test Site ACS Report: 10-0325.W06.11.A Advanced Compliance Solutions Page 6

The EUT was rotated 360º and the loop antenna rotated about the vertical axis to maximize each emission. The magnetic loop receiving antenna was positioned with its center 1 meter above the ground. The spectrum analyzer’s resolution and video bandwidths were set to 9 kHz and 30 kHz respectively. A peak detector was used which shows worst case. The measurements were corrected by a distance correction factor, antenna correction factors, and cable loss for comparison to the limits. Sample correction factors and calculations can be found section 7.3.2.2 and 7.3.2.4. 7.3.1.2 Test Results Compliance with the emissions levels are shown in figure 7.3.1-1 below.

Model: 2381GATE FCC ID: JEH2381GATE IC: 470B-2381GATE 7.3.2 Out-of-Band Emissions – FCC Part 15.225(d), 15.209, 15.109 / IC RSS-210 2.6 7.3.2.1 Test Methodology Section 15.33(a)(4) specifies, if the intentional radiator contains a digital device, regardless of whether this digital device controls the functions of the intentional radiator or the digital device is used for additional control or function purposes other than to enable the operation of the intentional radiator, the frequency range shall be investigated up to frequency specified in 15.33(b)(1) for unintentional radiators. The upper frequency range for the digital device is 1000MHz which greater than the 10th harmonic of the fundamental frequency. The upper frequency range measured was 1000MHz. Measurements below 30MHz were performed in a semi-anechoic chamber with a 3 meter separation distance between the EUT and measurement antenna. The EUT was rotated 360º and the loop antenna rotated about the vertical axis to maximize each emission. The magnetic loop receiving antenna was positioned with its center 1 meter above the ground. For measurements in the frequency bands 9-90 kHz and 110-490 kHz, an average detector was used. When average measurements are specified, the peak emissions were also compared to a limit corresponding to 20 dB above the maximum permitted average limit according to Part 15.35. All other emissions were measured using a Quasi-peak detector. The final measurements were then corrected by a distance correction factor, antenna correction factors, and cable loss for comparison to the limits. Measurements above 30MHz were performed in a semi-anechoic chamber with a 3 meter separation distance between the EUT and measurement antenna. The EUT was rotated through 360° and the receive antenna height was varied from 1m to 4m so that the maximum radiated emissions level would be detected. For frequencies below 1000MHz, quasi-peak measurements were made. The spectrum analyzer’s resolution bandwidth was set to equal to or greater than 100 Hz from 9 kHz to 150 kHz, 9 kHz from 150 kHz to 30 MHz, 120 kHz from 30 MHz to 1000 MHz, and 1 MHz from 1 GHz to 40 GHz. 7.3.2.2 Distance Correction for Measurements Below 30 MHz – Part 15.31 Radiated measurements were performed at a distance closer than 30m as required according to Part 15.209. Therefore a correction factor was applied to account for propagation loss at the specified distance. The propagation loss was determined by using the square of an inverse linear distance extrapolation factor (40dB/decade) according to 15.31. A sample calculation of the distance correction factor is shown below for limits expressed at a 30m measurement distance. Distance correction factor (30m Specified Test Distance) = 40*Log (Test Distance/30) = 40*Log (3/30) = - 40 dB 7.3.2.3 Test Results Radiated spurious emissions found are reported in Tables 7.3.2-1.

The RF output is coupled to the input of the measurement equipment via a near field probe. Frequency measurements were made at the extremes of the of temperature range -20º C to +50º C and at intervals of 10º C at normal supply voltage. A period of time sufficient to stabilize all components of the equipment was allowed at each frequency measurement. At a temperature 20º C the supply voltage was varied from 85% to 115% from the normal. The maximum variation of frequency was recorded. The limit from rule part 15.225 is 0.01% or 100ppm. 7.5.2 Test Results Results of the test are shown below in Figure 7.5.2-1. ACS Report: 10-0325.W06.11.A Advanced Compliance Solutions Page 16
