1 General Information

1.1    Product Description

      The Equipment Under Test (EUT) is an Radio Systems Corporation, MicoLite
Model RIG00-11933. The “MicroLite” receiver is an electronic collar worn by the pet,
normally used to keep the pet contained within the yard. The collar has 2 different
frequencies of operation, 7.5 kHz and 10 KHz. This collar also has a 433.92 MHz
transmitter, which can activate an automated pet door and various other products.

2 Test And Measurements

2.1 Configuration of Tested System

    The sample was tested per ANSI C63.4, Methods of Measurement from Low-
Voltage Electrical and Electronic Equipment in the Range of 9 kHz to 40 GHz (2003).
Conducted and radiated emissions data were taken with the test receiver or spectrum
analyzer's resolution bandwidth adjusted to 9 kHz and 120 kHz, respectively. All
measurements are peak unless stated otherwise. The video filter associated with the
spectrum analyzer was off throughout the evaluation process. Block diagrams of the
tested systems are shown in Figure 1. Test configuration photographs for spurious and
fundamental emissions are shown in Figure 2a -g.

   The sample used for testing was received by U.S. Technologies on February 19,
2009 in good condition.

2.2 Test Facility

   Testing was performed at US Tech's measurement facility at 3505 Francis Circle,
Alpharetta, GA. This site has been fully described and registered with the FCC under
designation number US5117. Additionally this site has also been fully described and
submitted to Industry Canada (IC), and has been approved under file number 2982A-1.


2.3 Test Equipment

   Table 2 describes test equipment used to evaluate this product.

2.4 Modifications

   No modifications were made by US Tech to bring the EUT into compliance with FCC
Part 15, Class B Limits for the transmitter portion of the EUT or the Class B Digital
Device Requirements.

2.5 Antenna Description (Paragraph 15.203)

    An intentional radiator shall be designed to ensure that no antenna other than that
furnished by the responsible party shall be used with the device. The use of a
permanently attached antenna or of an antenna that uses a unique coupling to the
intentional radiator shall be considered sufficient to comply with the provisions of this
section.

   Radio Systems Corporation will sell the MicroLite Model RIG00-11933 with a trace
antenna integrally mounted on the pwb.

2.6  Fundamental, Peak, and Average Radiated Spurious Emissions in the
Frequency Range 30 -25000 MHz (FCC Section 15.209)

    The EUT was placed into a continuous transmit mode of operation. A preliminary
scan was performed on the EUT to determine frequencies that were caused by the
transmitter portion of the product. Significant emissions that fell within restricted bands
were then measured on an OATS site. Radiated measurements below 1 GHz were
tested with a RBW = 120 kHz. Radiated measurements above 1 GHz were measured
using a RBW = VBW = 1 MHz. The results of peak radiated fundamental frequencies
and spurious emissions falling within restricted bands are given in Table 3, & 4 and
Figure 3a – 3b.

   Average values were not calculated since peak values met average limits

2.9 Radiated Emissions for Digital Device & Receiver (47 CFR 15.109a)

Radiated emissions were evaluated from 30 to 14500 MHz while the EUT was placed
into a Receive mode of operation. Measurements were made with the analyzer's
bandwidth set to 120 kHz measurements made less than 1 GHz and 1 MHz for
measurements made greater than or equal to 1 GHz. The results for less than 1 GHz
are shown in Table 7.

2.10 Power Line Conducted Emissions for Digital Device and Receiver
     FCC Section 15.107

The conducted voltage measurements have been carried out in accordance with FCC
Section 15.107, with a spectrum analyzer connected to a LISN and the EUT placed into
an idle condition or a continuous mode of receive. Similar results were seen as
compared to the EUT in a transmit mode of operation.


Therefore, please refer to the results as shown in Table 6.
