 Section 15.207: Conducted emissions testing

Conducted Emissions testing was carried out over the frequency range of 150 kHz to 30 MHz
which was carried out at the laboratory’s MacKelvie Street premises in a 2.4 m x 2.4 m x 2.4
m screened room

Testing was carried out using a representative AC power supply system that was powered at
120 Vac which supplied 12 Vdc to a GBUS URI device which in turn powered the Card
Reader also at 12 Vdc.

The device operates on 13.560 MHz.

Testing was carried out with the 13.560 MHz transmitter operating with the standard antenna
attached and with this antenna removed and replaced with a dummy load.

The device is deemed to comply providing it complies when the test is carried out with a
dummy load attached and the overall emission signature for the product remains similar with
no additional emissions being detected.

This is the case with this device.

The device was placed on top of the emissions table, which is 1 m x 1.5 m, 80 cm above the
screened room floor which acts as the horizontal ground plane.

In addition the device was positioned 40 cm away from the screened room wall which acts as
the vertical ground plane.

The artificial mains network was bonded to the screened room floor.

At all times the device was kept more than 80 cm from the artificial mains network.

The Class B limits have been applied.

The supplied plot is combined plot showing the worst case quasi peak and average results of
both the phase and neutral lines to the representative AC power supply.

Quasi peak and average detectors have been used with resolution bandwidths of 9 kHz.

Measurement uncertainty with a confidence interval of 95% is:
- AC Mains port             (0.15-30 MHz)  2.8 dB

Section 15.209: Radiated emission limits, general requirements

Radiated emissions testing was carried out over the frequency range of 13 MHz to 1000 MHz
as the highest frequency in use is less than 108 MHz.

Testing was carried out at the laboratory’s open area test site - located at Driving Creek, Orere
Point, Auckland, New Zealand. This site conforms to the requirements of CISPR 16 and ANSI
C63.4 - 2003.

Testing was carried out when the device was powered at 12 Vdc from a GBUS URI device
which was in turn powered at 12 Vdc from a 120 Vac to 12 Vdc representative AC power
supply.

The GBUS URI and representative AC power supply were placed 5 metres directly behind the
device under test.

Testing was carried out with the device being placed in the centre of the test table standing
vertically upright using a test jig that was supplied by the client.

The device transmitted continuously on approximately 13.560 MHz throughout the test.

Periodically a swipe card was run over the device to ensure that the system was operating
correctly which was indicated by an audible beep after the card had been swiped.

When an emission is located, it is positively identified and its maximum level is found by
rotating the automated turntable, and by varying the antenna height, where appropriate, with an
automated antenna tower.

Below 30 MHz a magnetic loop is used with the centre of the loop being 1 metre above the
ground with measurements being made using a quasi peak detector.

Above 30 MHz the emission is measured in both vertical and horizontal antenna polarisations,
where appropriate, using a quasi peak detector.

The emission level was determined in field strength by taking the following into consideration:

Level (dBV/m) = Receiver Reading (dBV) + Antenna Factor (dB) + Coax Loss (dB)

Result: Complies

Measurement uncertainty with a confidence interval of 95% is:
      - Free radiation tests       (30 – 1000 MHz)  4.1 dB
      - Free radiation tests       (100 kHz – 30 MHz)  4.8 dB

Testing was carried out when the device was transmitting continuously.

Magnetic loop measurements were attempted at a distance of 10 metres.

A receiver with a quasi peak detector with a 9 kHz bandwidth was used between 490 kHz –
30.0 MHz.

The 30 metre limit between 1.705 MHz – 30 MHz has been scaled by a factor of 40 dB per
decade, as per section 15.31 (f) (2).

The limit at 27.120 MHz when measured at 30 metres is 30 uV/m or 29.54 dBuV/m.

Therefore the scaled limit at 10 metres will be 49.54 dBuV/m.

The spurious emission observed does not exceed the level of the fundament emission.

Result: Complies.
Measurement uncertainty with a confidence interval of 95% is:
- Free radiation tests      (100 kHz – 30 MHz)  4.8 dB

Measurements between 30 –1000 MHz have been made at a distance of 3 metres.

A receiver with a quasi peak detector with a 120 kHz bandwidth was used between 30 – 1000
MHz.

The spurious emissions observed do not exceed the level of the fundament emission.

The limits as described in Section 15.209 have been applied.

Section 15.225: Fundamental emission:

Measurements were made using a magnetic loop antenna and a receiver with a quasi peak
detector using a 9 kHz bandwidth

Measurements were made at a distance of 10 metres with the limit being determined by using
the extrapolation factor of 40 dB per decade limit, as detailed in section 15.31 f (2).

The limit at 30 m at 13.561 MHz is 15,848 uV/m or 84.0 dBuV/m.

Applying the extrapolation factor of 40 dB/ per decade, the limit is 104 dBuV/m.

Testing was carried out when the device was transmitting continuously with the AC power
supply was varied by +/- 15%.

Section 15.225: Frequency tolerance:


The frequency tolerance of the carrier is required to be +/- 0.01% of operating frequency
when the temperature is varied between -20 degrees and +50 degrees.

The device operates on approximately 13.560 MHz which gives a frequency tolerance of +/-
1,356 Hz.

Variation of the 120 Vac supply to the AC power supply did not vary the 12 Vdc supply to the
GBUS URI or the device under test.

Therefore as a worst case scenario the 12 Vdc supply to the device was varied between 85%
and 115% of the supply voltage at -20 degrees.
