3.1.1    EUT Configuration
The EUT is configured for testing as depicted in Figure 2.

3.1.2    Modes of Operation
This device is capable of three key modes of operation. Upon manually activated LF interrogation (through the use of
special LF tool at a vehicle dealership), the EUT responds with a single transmission containing a number of frames
used to configure the device with the vehicle. When the EUT is placed in the vehicle tire and the vehicle drives, it
can, in the worst case, periodically transmit where the duration of each transmission is always less than 1 second and
the silent period between transmissions is at least 30 times the duration of the transmission, and never less than 10
seconds. (See duty cycle table and operational description exhibit for details.) In the case of an emergency condition
(delta Pressure), the EUT will transmit tire pressure and temperature information throughout the duration of the
condition.

3.1.3   Variants
There are two variants of the EUT. Both employ the exact same PCB and software, but the plastic housing (chassis)
into which they are placed consist of a smaller version G6GB4-F and a larger version G6GB4-D. Fundamental and
harmonic spurious are measured in both housings.

3.1.4   Test Samples
Four samples in total were provided; two normal operating and one capable of CW after application of a special LF
test tool for each housing variant. The normal operating samples were tested for LF activation response using an
LF diagnostic tool provided by the manufacturer.

3.1.5   Functional Exerciser
Normal operating EUT functionality was verified by observation of transmitted signal.

3.1.6   Modifications Made
There were no modifications made to the EUT by this laboratory.

3.1.7   Production Intent
The EUT appears to be a production ready sample.

3.1.8   Declared Exemptions and Additional Product Notes
The EUT is permanently installed in a transportation vehicle. As such, digital emissions are exempt from US and
Canadian digital emissions regulations (per FCC 15.103(a) and IC correspondence on ICES-003).
   The EUT also employs some modes of operation that alert the vehicle user of sudden changes in tire pressure.
Such alert modes fall under FCC 15.231(a)(4), and may operate during the pendency of the alarm condition. A
detailed list of all operating modes is included in the Description of Operation exhibit included in this application.

4     Emissions
4.1     General Test Procedures
4.1.1    Radiated Test Setup and Procedures
Radiated electromagnetic emissions from the EUT are first pre-scanned in our screen room. Spectrum and modulation
characteristics of all emissions are recorded. Instrumentation, including spectrum analyzers and other test equipment
as detailed in Section 1.8 are employed. After pre-scan, emission measurements are made on the test site of record.
If the EUT connects to auxiliary equipment and is table or floor standing, the configurations prescribed in relevant
test standards are followed. Alternatively, a layout closest to normal use (as declared by the provider) is employed
if the resulting emissions appear to be worst-case in such a configuration. See Figure 3. All intentionally radiating
elements that are not fixed-mounted in use are placed on the test table lying flat, on their side, and on their end
(3-axes) and the resulting worst case emissions are recorded. If the EUT is fixed-mounted in use, measurements are
made with the device oriented in the manner consistent with installation and then emissions are recorded. If the
EUT exhibits spurious emissions due to internal receiver circuitry, such emissions are measured with an appropriate
carrier signal applied.

                                 Figure 3: Radiated Emissions Diagram of the EUT.

    For devices with intentional emissions below 30 MHz, a shielded loop antenna and/or E-field and H-Field broad-
band probes are used depending on the regulations. Shielded loops are placed at a 1 meter receive height at the desired
measurement distance. For exposure in this band, the broadband probes employed are 10cm diameter single-axis
shielded transducers and measurements are repeated and summed over three axes.
    Emissions between 30 MHz and 1 GHz are measured using calibrated broadband antennas. For both horizontal
and vertical polarizations, the test antenna is raised and lowered from 1 to 4 m in height until a maximum emission
level is detected. The EUT is then rotated through 360o in azimuth until the highest emission is detected. The test
antenna is then raised and lowered one last time from 1 to 4 m and the worst case value is recorded. Emissions
above 1 GHz are characterized using standard gain or broadband ridge-horn antennas on our OATS with a 4 × 5
m rectangle of ECCOSORB absorber covering the OATS ground screen and a 1.5m table height. Care is taken to
ensure that test receiver resolution and video bandwidths meet the regulatory requirements, and that the emission
bandwidth of the EUT is not reduced. Photographs of the test setup employed are depicted in Figure 4.
    Where regulations allow for direct measurement of field strength, power values (dBm) measured on the test
receiver / analyzer are converted to dBµV/m at the regulatory distance, using

                                         Edist = 107 + PR + KA − KG + KE − CF

where PR is the power recorded on spectrum analyzer, in dBm, KA is the test antenna factor in dB/m, KG is the
combined pre-amplifier gain and cable loss in dB, KE is duty correction factor (when applicable) in dB, and CF is
a distance conversion (employed only if limits are specified at alternate distance) in dB. This field strength value is
then compared with the regulatory limit. If effective isotropic radiated power (EIRP) is computed, it is computed as

                                           EIRP (dBm) = E3m (dBµV /m) − 95.2.

4.1.2   Conducted Emissions Test Setup and Procedures
The EUT is not subject to measurement of power line conducted emissions as it is powered solely by its internal
battery.

4.1.3   Power Supply Variation
Tests at extreme supply voltages are made if required by the procedures specified in the test standard, and results
of this testing are detailed in this report.
    In the case the EUT is designed for operation from a battery power source, the extreme test voltages are evaluated
over the range specified in the test standard; no less than ±10% of the nominal battery voltage declared by the
manufacturer. For all battery operated equipment, worst case intentional and spurious emissions are re-checked
employing a new (fully charged) battery.

4.2.2   Fundamental Emission Bandwidth
Test Setup & Procedure The test equipment and facilities were setup in accordance with the standards and
procedures listed in Section 2.1. Environmental conditions were set at the appropriate temperature and thermal
balance was checked with a thermocouple based probe. Emission bandwidth (EBW) of the EUT is measured with
the device placed in the test mode(s) with the shortest available frame length and minimum frame spacing. The
20 dB EBW is measured as the max-held peak-detected signal when the IF bandwidth is greater than or equal to
1% of the receiver span. For complex modulations other than ASK and FSK, the 99% emission bandwidth per IC
test procedures has a different result, and is also reported. The test equipment employed includes RSFSV30001,
LOGEMCO01.

Measurement Results The details and results of testing the EUT are summarized in Table 5. Plots showing the
measurements made to obtain these values are provided in Figure 6.

5   Measurement Uncertainty and Accreditation Documents
The maximum values of measurement uncertainty for the laboratory test equipment and facilities associated with
each test are given in the table below. This uncertainty is computed for a 95.45% confidence level based on a coverage
factor of k = 2.

                                          Table 8: Measurement Uncertainty.
