3                EUT description

3.1              General description
The EUT is a transmitter intended for panic transmission in care center environments.
The transmitter is powered by two 3.0 V lithium batteries.



3.2              EUT test configuration
During the testing the EUT was powered by one external nickel battery instead of two lithium batteries to provide the
continuous operation of the transmitter.
Test configuration is provided in Figure 3.2.1.

LIMIT (§ 15.231 (c))

The bandwidth of the emission shall be no wider than 0.25% of the center frequency for devices operating above 70
MHz and below 900 MHz. For devices operating above 900 MHz, the emission shall be no wider than 0.5% of the
center frequency. Bandwidth is determined at the points 20 dB down from the modulated carrier.



For 318 MHz frequency the specified limit is 795 kHz



TEST PROCEDURE
The spectrum trace data around transmitter fundamental frequency was obtained with the spectrum analyzer in “Max
Hold” mode. The bandwidth value was determined between two points 20 dBc.
