  8     Frequency Stability Versus Temperature
        FCC 2.1055

  8.1 Summary of Results
  The AC755 Frequency Stability versus temperature meets the requirement of being
  within +0.1ppm of the received base station frequency.

  8.2 Test Procedure
  The AC755 was placed inside the temperature chamber. The transmitting frequency error
  is measured at 25 degrees C, then the temperature is set to +60 degrees C and allowed to
  stabilize. After sufficient soak time, the transmitting frequency error is measured. The
  temperature is decreased by 10 degrees, allowed to stabilize and soak, then the
  measurement is repeated. This is repeated until -20 degrees C is completed. The process
  is then repeated back up to +60 degrees C. Frequency metering included internal
  averaging of the CMU200 to stabilize the reading. Reference power supply voltage for
  these tests is 5.0 volts.

  9     Frequency Stability Versus Voltage
        FCC 2.1055

  9.1 Summary of Results
  The unit meets the limit of less than 0.1ppm of frequency offset from center for 85% and
  115% of the supply voltage for 5.0 volts.

  9.2 Test Procedure
  The AC755 was connected to a DC Power Supply and a GSM test set (CMU 200) with
  frequency error measurement capability. The power supply output is adjusted to the test
  voltage as measured at the input terminals to the module while transmitting. A voltmeter
  was used to confirm the terminal voltage. The peak frequency error is recorded (worst
  case).
  The test voltages are 4.25 volts to 5.75 volts.
