1.2     Mechanical Description
The EUT measures approximately 6.98 cm (L) x 4.66 cm (W) x 0.8 cm (H) and weighs approximately 40g.

The test data gathered are from production sample, serial number: 1241-0004, provided by the manufacturer.


1.3     Objective
This type approval report is prepared on behalf of Trimble Navigation Ltd. in accordance with Part 90 of
the Federal Communication Commissions rules.

This is class II permissive change report is based on the new mode adding with no hardware change, only
25 kHz Channle Spacing, 19200 bit data rate mode was added with the s/w modification.

This test and measurement report only pertains to the new Mode: 25 kHz, 19200 bit data rate.

The objective was to determine the RF output power, Occupied Bandwidth and Emission Masks,
conducted and Radaited Spurious Emissions, Frequency Stability, Modulation Characteristic and Ajacent
Channel Power are in compliance with the FCC rules.


1.4     Related Submittal(s)/Grant(s)
None.

Trimble Navigation Limited                                                              FCC ID: KEAXDLM


1.5   Test Methodology
All tests and measurements indicated in this document were performed in accordance with the Code of
federal Regulations Title 47 Part 2, Sub-part J as well as the following individual parts:

Part 90 – Private Land Mobile Radio Service

Applicable Standards:TIA603-C and ANSI 63.4-2003, American National Standard for Method of
Measurement of Radio-Noise Emissions from Low-Voltage Electrical and Electronic Equipment in the
range of 9 kHz to 40 GHz.

All emissions measurement was performed by Bay Area Compliance Laboratories Corp. The radiated
testing was performed at an antenna-to-EUT distance of 3 meters.


1.6   Measurement Uncertainty
All measurements involve certain levels of uncertainties, especially in the field of EMC. The factors
contributing to uncertainties are spectrum analyzer, cable loss, antenna factor calibration, antenna
directivity, antenna factor variation with height, antenna phase center variation, antenna factor frequency
interpolation, measurement distance variation, site imperfections, mismatch (average), and system
repeatability.
Based on CISPR16-4-2:2003, The Treatment of Uncertainty in EMC Measurements, the values ranging
from +2.0 dB for Conducted Emissions tests and +4.0 dB for Radiated Emissions tests are the most
accurate estimates pertaining to uncertainty of EMC measurements at BACL Corp.


1.7   Test Facility
The test site used by BACL Corp. to collect radiated and conducted emissions measurement data is located
at its facility in Sunnyvale, California, USA.

The test site at BACL Corp. has been fully described in reports submitted to the Federal Communication
Commission (FCC) and Voluntary Control Council for Interference (VCCI). The details of these reports
have been found to be in compliance with the requirements of Section 2.948 of the FCC Rules on February
11 and December 10, 1997, and Article 8 of the VCCI regulations on December 25, 1997. The test site
also complies with the test methods and procedures set forth in CISPR 22:2008 §10.4 for measurements
below 1 GHz and §10.6 for measurements above 1 GHz as well as ANSI C63.4-2003, ANSI C63.4-2009,
TIA/EIA-603 & CISPR 24:2010.
The Federal Communications Commission and Voluntary Control Council for Interference have the
reports on file and they are listed under FCC registration number: 90464 and VCCI Registration No.: A-
0027. The test site has been approved by the FCC and VCCI for public use and is listed in the FCC Public
Access Link (PAL) database.

Additionally, BACL Corp. is an American Association for Laboratory Accreditation (A2LA) accredited
laboratory (Lab Code 3297-02). The current scope of accreditations can be found at

2     System Test Configuration
2.1    Justification
The EUT was configured for testing according to TIA/EIA-603-C.

The EUT was tested in the normal (native) operating mode to represent worst-case results during the final
qualification test.


2.2     EUT Exercise Software
The software used, MicroCONF Version V1.01.0011 and Blade Editor Version: 1.01 Build: 0011,
provided by client and was verified by BACL (Wei Sun) to comply with the standard requirements being
tested against.


2.3    Equipment Modifications
No modifications were made to the EUT.

6     FCC §2.1049, §90.209 & §90.210 – Occupied Bandwidth & Emission Mask
6.1     Applicable Standard
§90.209

Operations using equipment using a 25 kHz bandwidth will be authorized a 20 kHz bandwidth. Operations
using equipment designed to operate with a 12.5 kHz channel bandwidth will be authorized an 11.25 kHz
bandwidth.

According to FCC §90.210:

c) Emission Mask C. For transmitters that are not equipped with an audio low-pass filter, the power of any
emission must be attenuated below the unmodulated carrier output power (P) as follows:

(1) On any frequency removed from the center of the authorized bandwidth by a displacement frequency
(fd in kHz) of more than 5 kHz, but not more than 10 kHz: At least 83 log (fd /5) dB;

(2) On any frequency removed from the center of the authorized bandwidth by a displacement frequency
(fd in kHz) of more than 10 kHz, but not more than 250 percent of the authorized bandwidth: At least 29
log (fd 2 /11) dB or 50 dB, whichever is the lesser attenuation;

(3) On any frequency removed from the center of the authorized bandwidth by more than 250 percent of
the authorized bandwidth: At least 43 + 10 log (P) dB.

6.2     Test Procedure
The RF output of the transmitter was connected to the input of the spectrum analyzer through sufficient
attenuation.
The resolution bandwidth of the spectrum analyzer was set at 100 Hz and the spectrum was recorded in the
frequency band ±50 KHz from the carrier frequency.

According to FCC §90.210: On any frequency removed from the center of the authorized bandwidth by
more than 250 percent of the authorized bandwidth: At least 43 + 10 log (P) dB.


8.2      Test Procedure
The transmitter was placed on a Styrofoam with wooden turntable, and it was normal transmitting with
50ohm termination which was also placed on the turntable.

The measurement antenna was placed at a distance of 3 meters from the EUT. During the tests, the antenna
height and polarization as well as EUT azimuth were varied in order to identify the maximum level of
emissions from the EUT. The test was performed by placing the EUT on 3-orthogonal axis.

The frequency range up to tenth harmonic of the fundamental frequency was investigated.

Remove the EUT and replace it with substitution antenna. A signal generator was connected to the
substitution antenna by a non-radiating cable. The absolute levels of the spurious emissions were measured
by the substitution.

Spurious emissions in dB = 10 lg (TXpwr in Watts/0.001) – the absolute level
