Radiated Spurious Emissions Engineer: Kenneth Lee Test Date: 6/19/2018 Test Procedure Radiated Spurious Emissions: 30 – 1000 MHz The EUT was setup in a semi-anechoic test chamber set 3m from the receiving antenna. The EUT was set to transmit on the lowest, middle and highest frequency of operation at the maximum power level. The EUT was tested, in 3 orthogonal axis, by rotating it 360 with the receive antenna in both the vertical and horizontal orientation while raised from 1 to 4 meters to ensure the TX signal levels were maximized. A spectrum analyzer was used to verify that the EUT met the requirements for Radiated Spurious Emissions. All emissions from 30 MHz to 1 GHz were examined. Measured Level includes antenna and receiver cable correction factors. Correction factors were input into the spectrum analyzer before recording “Measured Level”. RBW = 100 KHz VBW = 300 KHz Detector – Quasi Peak Test Setup EUT Antenna Spectrum Analyzer Test Procedure for Radiated Spurious Emissions above 1 GHz The EUT was setup in a semi-anechoic test chamber set 3m from the receiving antenna.

Conducted Spurious Emissions Engineer: Kenneth Lee Test Date: 6/19/2018 Test Procedure The EUT was connected directly to a spectrum analyzer. The Spectrum Analyzer was set to the following: RBW = 100 kHz VBW ≥ 3 x RBW Peak Detector Trace mode = max hold Sweep = auto couple Frequency Range = 30MHz – 10th Harmonic of the fundamental The EUT was set to transmit on the lowest, middle and highest frequencies at the maximum power level. The trace was allowed to stabilize. All emissions were investigated to insure they were attenuated from the peak fundamental by at least 20dB. If the average power levels were measured then the out-of-band emissions needed to be attenuated by 30dB. In addition, emissions were investigated at the band edges to insure all out-of-band emissions were attenuated 20 or 30dB as necessary.

DTS Bandwidth Engineer: Kenneth Lee Test Date: 6/19/2018 Test Procedure The EUT was connected directly to a spectrum analyzer. The Spectrum Analyzer was set to the following: RBW = 100 kHz VBW ≥ 3 x RBW Peak Detector Trace mode = max hold Sweep = auto couple Span = 1.5 x EBW The EUT was set to transmit at the lowest, middle and highest channels of the band at the maximum power levels. The maximum width of the emission that was determined by the frequencies associated with the two outermost amplitude points (upper and lower frequencies) that were attenuated by 6db and this value was used to determine the width of the carrier. Alternatively, the spectrum analyzer’s automatic bandwidth capability was used.
