Unit: SideKik 3000 Mini Receiver
Tested: November 24, 1999 (revised)
Received: 11/23/99



I. Applicable Standards:

The unit described in this report was measured for verification of compliance with the FCC
Unintentional Radiator EMC standard, 47 CFR: Part 15, Subpart C.


Measurement procedures were in accordance with ANSI C63.4, "Methods of Measurement of
Radio-Noise Emissions from Low-Voltage Electrical and Electronic Equipment in the Range of
9 kHz to 40 GHz (1992)."



II. Units Tested:

The International Electronics, Inc. SideKik 3000 (SideKik) receiver is part of     the SideKik
automobile alarm and accessory control system. The SideKik consists of a           plastic case
containing the receiver electronics and a permanently attached external antenna.    There is no
provision for connecting the SideKik to an AC power source; consequently,          a conducted
emissions test was not performed. The table below describes the unit that was      subjected to
measurements determining compliance with applicable EMC standards:

III. Equipment and Cable Configuration:

GME received the unit in satisfactory condition for testing, however the manufacturer is
responsible for ensuring that the equipment under test (EUT) represents the product line. The
EUT was arranged on a turntable as in the block diagram below. This EUT configuration
produced the maximum radiated emissions. The EUT was subjected to final emissions tests
while connected to all loads and operating in a continuous mode.

The temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure during unit testing were 21˚C, 50% RH and
100.1 kPa for radiated emissions. A signal generator and transmitting antenna tuned to the
fundamental were used to provide a coherence signal to the receiver

V. Unit of Measurement:

Measurements of radiated electric fields were made in units of dB referenced to 1 microvolt per
meter (dBuV/m). Average data is not required as the unit is compliant with average limits in
peak detection mode. Fields and deviations in the results table were corrected for the appropriate
antenna factor, cable loss, amplifier gain and measurement distance X (per 47 CFR, C15.31).
The following equations were employed:

(1) Field (dBuV/m) = Measured Value (dBuV) + Antenna Factor (dB) + Cable Loss (dB) -
Amplifier Gain (dB).
(2) Pass/Fail Deviation (dB) = Field (dBuV/m) - Limit (dBuV/m) - 20 log(X/3 meters).

Sample calculation at 30 MHz:
32.0 dBuV/m field = 32.5 dBuV measured + 19 dB/m AF + 0.5 dB cable loss - 20.0 dB amp.
-8.0 dB deviation = 32.0 dBuV/m field - 40.0 dBuV/m limit - 20 log(3/3) dB distance.

Uncertainty:
The combined uncertainty for GME radiated emissions measurements is: u(y) = 1.946.

complies with the requirements for radiated emissions testing in ANSI C63.4-1992 and CISPR
16-1993. The electromagnetic laboratory is constructed in accordance with CE immunity
standards and ANSI C63.4-1992 (conducted emissions). GME is internationally accredited by
the American Association for Laboratory Accreditation (A2LA) and meets the quality
requirements in EN 45001-1989 and ISO/IEC Guide 25-1990, "General Requirements for the
Competence of Calibration and Testing Laboratories."
