The EUT is a Transponder that operates within 902–928 MHz ISM band at frequency 915 ±0.6 MHz, which is mounted on a vehicle at a
location that is visible to the Reader Antenna when the vehicle passes through the RF capture zone, which is dictated by the directional pattern
of the Reader Antenna. This Transponder is designed for interior mounting in a passenger vehicle, specifically on the windshield near the top
and near the vehicle centreline.
The Transponder responds to and emits with horizontal polarization when correctly oriented for normal operation with the flat surface of the
Transponder against the vehicle windshield. In this location the boresite will point towards the Reader antenna when the vehicle approaches
the Reader antenna. Outside the RF Capture Zone of the Reader, the unit does not transmit but continuously receives.

3.5 Operation of the EUT during testing
The units are internally battery powered and are continuously in the Receive mode. They require an external RF trigger to stimulate a
response. Each RF trigger will produce one burst of transmission from a unit.
The trigger pulse can be generated by using a signal generator gated by a function generator, or by using a signal generator that has the
internal pulse modulation function.

                                 Specification: FCC Part 90, Subpart I



8.2       Clause 90.209 Occupied bandwidth
(a) Each authorization issued to a station licensed under this part will show an emission designator representing the class of emission
    authorized. The designator will be prefixed by a specified necessary bandwidth. This number does not necessarily indicate the bandwidth
    occupied by the emission at any instant. In those cases where §2.202 of this chapter does not provide a formula for the computation of
    necessary bandwidth, the occupied bandwidth, as defined in part 2 of this chapter, may be used in lieu of the necessary bandwidth.
(b) The maximum authorized single channel bandwidth of emission corresponding to the type of emission specified in §90.207 is as follows:
    (1) For A1A or A1B emissions, the maximum authorized bandwidth is 0.25 kHz. The maximum authorized bandwidth for type A3E emission
        is 8 kHz.
    (2) For operations below 25 MHz utilizing J3E emission, the bandwidth occupied by the emission shall not exceed 3000 Hz. The assigned
        frequency will be specified in the authorization. The authorized carrier frequency will be 1400 Hz lower in frequency than the assigned
        frequency. Only upper sideband emission may be used. In the case of regularly available double sideband radiotelephone channels, an
        assigned frequency for J3E emissions is available either 1600 Hz below or 1400 Hz above the double sideband radiotelephone
        assigned frequency.
    (3) For all other types of emissions, the maximum authorized bandwidth shall not be more than that normally authorized for voice
        operations.
    (4) Where a frequency is assigned exclusively to a single licensee, more than a single emission may be used within the authorized
        bandwidth. In such cases, the frequency stability requirements of §90.213 must be met for each emission.
    (5) Unless specified elsewhere, channel spacings and bandwidths that will be authorized in the following frequency bands are given in the
        following table:

8.3       Clause 90.210 Emission mask
Except as indicated elsewhere in this part, transmitters used in the radio services governed by this part must comply with the emission masks
outlined in this section. Unless otherwise stated, per paragraphs (d)(4), (e)(4), and (m) of this section, measurements of emission power can be
expressed in either peak or average values provided that emission powers are expressed with the same parameters used to specify the
unmodulated transmitter carrier power. For transmitters that do not produce a full power unmodulated carrier, reference to the unmodulated
transmitter carrier power refers to the total power contained in the channel bandwidth. Unless indicated elsewhere in this part, the table in this
section specifies the emission masks for equipment operating in the frequency bands governed under this part.

        following schedule:
        (i) On any frequency within the authorized bandwidth: Zero dB.
        (ii) On any frequency outside the licensee's sub-band edges: 55 + 10×log(P) dB, where (P) is the highest emission (watts) of the
             transmitter inside the licensee's sub-band.
    (4) In the 902–928 MHz band, the resolution bandwidth of the instrumentation used to measure the emission power shall be 100 kHz,
        except that, in regard to paragraph (2) of this section, a minimum spectrum analyzer resolution bandwidth of 300 Hz shall be used for
        measurement center frequencies with 1 MHz of the edge of the authorized subband. The video filter bandwidth shall not be less than
        the resolution bandwidth.
   (5) Emission power shall be measured in peak values.
 (6) The LMS sub-band edges for non-multilateration systems for which emissions must be attenuated are 902.00, 904.00, 909.75 and 921.75

8.4.2     Special notes

For radiated measurements at the frequencies below 1 GHz the RBW was set to 100 kHz and for frequencies above 1 GHz the RBW was set to
1 MHz. VBW was wider than RBW at any time
Radiated emissions were tested using substitution method for field strength at 3 m to ERP conversion.
Two EUT possible positions were assessed; only worst-case emissions are reported.
Conducted measurements were performed on the sample especially modified for that matter.

8.6       Clause 90.353 LMS operations in the 902–928 MHz band
LMS systems may be authorized within the 902–928 MHz band, subject to the conditions in this section. LMS licensees are required to
  maintain whatever records are necessary to demonstrate compliance with these provisions and must make these records available to the
  Commission upon request:
(h) Non-multilateration stations are authorized to operate on a shared, non-exclusive basis in the 902–904 MHz and 909.75–921.75 MHz sub-
    bands. Non-multilateration systems and multilateration systems will share the 919.75–921.75 MHz band on a co-equal basis. Non-
    multilateration LMS systems may not provide non-vehicular location services. The maximum antenna height above ground for non-
    multilateration LMS systems is 15 meters.
(i) Non-multilateration LMS licenses will be issued on a site-by-site basis, except that municipalities or other governmental operatives may file
     jointly for a non-multilateration license covering a given U.S. Department of Commerce Bureau of Economic Analysis Economic Area (EA).
     Such an application must identify all planned sites. After receiving the license, the non-multilateration EA licensee must notify the
     Commission if sites are deleted or if new sites are added, before those sites may be put into operation.
