       SECTION 2

TESTS AND MEASUREMENTS


                                   FCC ID: KE3PPT102RB



TESTS AND MEASUREMENTS

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 (1992). 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. Interconnecting cables were manipulated as necessary to maximize
emissions. A block diagram of the tested system is shown in Figure 1. Test configuration
photographs for spurious and fundamental emissions are shown in Figure 2.

Since the EUT is a hand held device, it was rotated about all 3 axis in order to obtain worse
case results.


Test Facility

Testing was performed at US Tech's measurement facility at 3505 Francis Circle,
Alpharetta, GA. This site has been fully described and submitted to the FCC, and accepted
in their letter marked 31040/SIT. Additionally this site has also been fully described and
submitted to Industry Canada (IC), and has been approved under file number IC2982.


Modifications

To bring the EUT into compliance with the Part 15.231 limits, the manufacturer made the
following changes:

1) C5 was changed from 4.7 to 2.7 pF.


Test Equipment

Table 2 describes test equipment used to evaluate this product.

Periodic Operation (47 CFR 15.231(a1))

A transmitter manually activated must automatically deactivate within not more than 5
seconds of being released. The transmitter is a 3 button transmitter. The EUT continues
to transmit while each button is being pressed. The EUT ceases transmission < 1 second
upon being released as shown in Figure 3.

Field Strength of Fundamental Emission (47 CFR 15.231b)

Measurements were made using a peak detector. Field strength of the peak fundamental
emission is shown in Table 3 and Figure 4.


Duty Cycle Correction During 100 msec:

For detailed information regarding the duty cycle, please see Figures 5a through 5d.
The transmission packet consists of a header followed by 12 pulse position encoded pulses
(1.4 msec + 12 * 0.510 ms = 7.52 msec per 100 msec)

Duty Cycle Correction = 20 log (0.0752) = -22.5 dB

Field strength of the average fundamental emission is shown in Table 4.

Field Strength Of Spurious Emissions (47 CFR 15.231b)

Measurements were made using a peak detector. Field strength of Spurious Emissions
are shown in Table 5 and Figures 6. For comparison to the average limits, duty cycle
corrections were made as given in the previous section. Any emission less than 1000 MHz
and falling within the restricted bands of 15.205 were not adjusted for averaging and the
limits of 15.209 were applied.

Analyzer Settings:

30 – 1000 MHz
Peak Measurements, RBW = 120 kHz, VBW = Auto

Greater than 1000 MHz
Peak Measurements, RBW = 1 MHz, VBW = 1 MHz

Frequency Tolerance of Carrier Signal (47 CFR 15.231d)

The EUT does not operate in the 40.66 - 40.70 MHz band, therefore frequency tolerance
measurements were deemed unnecessary.

Radiated emissions were evaluated from 30 to 1000 MHz. Measurements were made with
the analyzer's bandwidth set to 120 kHz. Emissions are shown in Table 7.

  Since the digital devices circuitry is used only to enable operation of the transmitter
     and did not control additional functions or capability, testing of digital device
                         emissions was deemed not necessary.

Power Line Conducted Emissions (47 CFR 15.107a)

emissions was deemed unnecessary.
